Peace Corps Volunteers

It was on a regular Tuesday when we went to the library for a warm introduction in the world of volunteering. Two Peace Corps volunteers greeted us  nicely and offered to play with us a very interesting game about the American culture, geography , politics and people. It was a new experience and all of us had a great time.
The two volunteers , besides de game , presented us the wonderful world of volunteering and its enormous benefits for us. When they finished the presentation they gave us a piece of paper on which we wrote a thing that Americans should know about Romanians. I find this gesture quite polite.
Near to the end of the meeting an English teacher from Rozavlea  presented the benefits of volunteering  in our country so as to be accessible for all of us and to make us more open to such kind of activities.
After leaving the library , on my way home, I really understood the meaning of this concept of helping the others without being paid, and I was stunned that in only one meeting my vision towards life changed dramatically. Now I am more open to all activities organized for us.
I am eager on doing all sorts of other wonderful activities with my classmates and my teachers.
