SALTO Mid-Term Training for EVS volunteers

Me and Martin during exploration of  city.

Mid-Term Training is obligatory for every EVS volunteer, whose project is longer than 6 months. Luckily for me and Martin, we had an opportunity to participate in this activity. Thanks to that in December we went to Georgia’s capital- Tbilisi. The main goal of this training was to prepare us for “the live after EVS” what means coming back to our countries and old issues. Of course schedule was also full of some other nice things like – talking about experiences which we had during the project, sharing our memories of traveling in Caucasus and planning our future.

The World Map Made of Postcards

“The World Map Made of Postcards” is a project running by Dajana – A Polish volunteer.The main goal of this activity is to let children know more about other countries.  People from all over the world are sending postcards to CDF and than we are putting them together with Armenian translation on wall next to the map (As I can’t really translate them into Armenian, my coordinator Shushanna does help me with this). Children can check number on postcards and find this number on map and in this way discover where the country from which postcard has been traveling is. We received first postcard on September and now we have more than thirty. Most of them are from Europe, but we also have postcard from South Africa, Japan, Afghanistan Singapore, Canada and several from the USA. Now we are working on find some people from South America and Australia who can send us some postcards to our collection. We also have a blog for this project where you can check all the postcards we receive –http://wmmop.blogspot.com 

It is my pleasure to update this blog every time we receive a new postcard.
