Hello! My name is Gonçalo and for the past 6 months I’ve been a volunteer at Smokinya Foundation, and I would like to share my experience here. I’m from Portugal, and coming to Bulgaria was a challenge at first, as the culture and people are very different, but over time I’ve grown to enjoy it a lot. I decided to join this volunteering as a challenge for myself to grow outside of my comfort zone and experience learning through non-formal education.
In these 6 months, I’ve met a lot of people from all different backgrounds, I’ve been in the place of learning, teaching and both at the same time, and I’ve had experiences I never though possible. It’s still hard to believe that I’m already halfway through my project, but looking back to all of these things, I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot.
Obviously during this project I’ve encountered some challenges, but this experience has made me more adaptable to different situations, and all these skills that I’ve learned I’m sure will become useful in my future.
Overall I’m proud of my work, thankful for all the friends I’ve made and all the family that supports me in this endeavor back home and hope that my second half of the project is even better!
