Margarita, volontaria dalla Grecia a VKE, Bolzano Blog dei volontari
One month since I moved abroad. One month full of adjustments, new sights, and most importantly, incredible encounters.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering at a youth center for teenagers, while spending some mornings at local elementary schools playing games with kids.
You know what has struck me the most? That even though everything around me is unfamiliar—the language, the pace, the streets—connecting with people doesn't need words. A game in the schoolyard, an awkward but honest chat with a teenager, a shared glance, and a common laugh are enough to tear down any border.
Through these games and moments, I slowly feel this new place turning into a home. I'm learning from the kids, sharing pieces of myself, and realizing that kindness and the desire to communicate are universal languages.
Looking forward to what the next month brings!
