FLASHBACK!!!

BASKETBALL COMPETITION 

The competitiveness transcends barriers, this is what I feel in this activity. Nowadays everyone has one role, maybe teacher, maybe student, maybe volunteer... This role helps us to describe our work. But all of this changes when you start a competition, because everyone has a team and all want to win.

Is in this moment, when your role changes, we aren’t teachers, students, and volunteers, now we are part of a team  and we need to cooperate to play the best and win. The others possibly are our friends but at that time also the opponents.

It is in these moments when teamwork, cooperation, the competitiveness, know how to lose but also to win, are required because if not the activity does not make sense.

Educate leisure is an important part of education and it’s this which has been promoted in the basketball competitions, because all of us can participate and learn new things.

The activity consisted in first place of different individual competitions in which every one, alone, had to do different tasks with a basketball. And in the second time, we competed against each other with 4 different teams.

Of course we wanted to win but the important part is that finally all of us spent a very good evening and have a good memory of this activity.

CHRISTMAS  IS COMING 

When Christmas comes all of us prepare to have magic days, in every corner there is something that reminds us that these days are special.

Here I could experience different but exciting Christmas, the children convey the fantasy that made you feel that Christmas is wonderful.

All started to make Christmas decoration, we shared different evenings that helped to create a perfect Christmas atmosphere, also we  made  a Christmas dinner and others events that made me feel at home.

But the most important moment for me came when we celebrated the different Christmas parties with my class and friends. I could go to differents  parties and feel the illusion that children have, surrounded by tables full of candy, I could see the traditions  and experience perfect moments with teachers, parents, children and friends.

RIGA

Travel is maybe one of the best things. As a volunteer you can discover a lot of new things in your work place but also enjoy the free time, and to travel is one thing that  we usually do.

With some volunteers we went to Riga, the Capital of the neighboring country, Latvia. During the trip we could get to know us better and discover wonderful places.

We went  on Saturday morning, early in the morning we took the bus to go to the outskirts of Panevėžys where our trip started. For almost all of us it was the first time that we were hitchhiking. Maybe this is the reason why we were quite excited :) After 10 minutes  the first car stopped, that would take us to Bauska, a village 60 kilometres from Riga. During the trip we spent a great time because the man told us a lot of things about Lithuania.

In Bauska, we continued to hitchhike, this time we also were lucky because another man stopped and would take us to Riga.

We arrived in Riga at 11:00 a.m. Trip price: 0 Litas. Experience: wonderful and unique.

After we arrived in a welcoming hostel, we started to visit the old town. We discovered many beautiful places, in the city you can find spectacular buildings, cozy corners, big parks and a lot of different activities to do.  In the city you can walk with the sound of music, because almost in every street there are musicians singing and playing their instruments.

We spent all day visiting the city and crossing multiple markets that there are on the streets.

The most special part maybe arrived at the night because we visited different pubs where we danced thanks a live music and tried the traditional drinks. Also we could sing Karaoke and feel a little bit as rock stars.

We can say that it was a trip full of new sensations and although the weather was not very good  it was a nice experience.
