Volunteer at Volunteer work experience (2014-07 – 2014-07)
I volunteered to work in Poland for 2 weeks during the summer of July 2014. I gained a lot of experience from working and interacting with children ages 5-12 and the adults that were also there working also. As I travelled with a group of volunteers we all had to run a work shop for two weeks, running different classes and activities for the children, as one of our classes was an English programme class, this included reading, writing and games.
Whilst there in our accommodation and at the end of every meal time our group had to help with cleaning dishes, laying out tables. I feel like I have gained a lot from this, this work experience has taught me to much more understanding and patient with a wider knowledge of other cultures.
