Stage-2: Days Passing by in Çınardibi


I am having great time more than i thought and did almost every activity that i was planning to do. In the first official day of voluntary i was responsible from the library. I organised and give a number to every single book in library with Berkant. That doesn't seem a task to me, i'm always doing smilar work at home. Second time was big day for Çınardibi , thats the day before 6th Çınardibi Solidarity Festival and we helped the preparation by writing 'Thank you for coming our festival' into books that will be given to children who will attended the festival. After that two non-fatiguing task we enjoy it and hang out a while, chatted with other volunteers and authorities.

The third and the last day was marvellous, the most enjoyable day. I and Burak was called for giving English lessons. YEY! There's 4rd, 5th and 6th grade children waiting with their notebooks to study with us. We were 4 volunteers and we decided to divide children into 4 groups so we can study easily. I have met other 2 volunteers the first time but we broke the ice immediately during the lesson. After we gave break, the hard part was taking that children into classroom. I decided to play 'Adam Asmaca' game in english, everyone agree with it and children run into classroom the moment i say the word 'game'. I divided the class and every group chosed its own name. It was like 'Ulutepe, Aslanlar ve Susamurları' :)) I made the rules and it was forbidden to say turkish letter. As a result, the youngest group beat the others. We had really have a good time that us volunteers and all the children went home 1 hour late and played game :) I think they improved their English a bit and we did something beneficial for them while enjoying.

We didn't talked about that project with my friends so i don't know what is going on with their volunteerism. I just know about my friends doing the same tasks with me.

By the way i might complete my 12 hours volunteerism but i promised to give lessons during december. So i'm in :))
