Arnas Monthly Blog

Hi everyone my name is Arnas im from Lithuania and from a small town called Širvintos. I'm volunteering in Turkey - Ankara for 2 months.

Okay so far my experience in Turkey is very awesome because it's my second time visiting another country, and I will say it's mind blowing because of the very awesome views in Ankara - Turkey. When we were landing in Turkey I saw from a plane window the mountain's and the lands everywhere. It was so good and exciting I wished you felt as I did. Saw some mosques. It was very interesting to experience the new culture and religion in this country.

When I came here to Ankara I thought its gonna be easy to adapt to this country its religion and culture but I was very wrong there was some inconvenience and some problems but I will say one thing from those problems came very good and awesome things like visiting Lösev and hearing that they help kids with cancer I was inspired by that and at the same time It was very emotional because they give possibilities to cancer patient kids and their families to travel and experience new things in live. So from the bad things came some good things like I would like to say the flower is just starting to bloom because I know there is gonna be more things I'm gonna experience here in Turkey - Ankara.

Also we were in Hatay where there was an earthquake last year. We went there to help people collect mandarins for people in need from catastrophe. That experience was fantastic to know that I helped someone and I didn't expect anything from them because I know that I did a good job for somebody and I know someday in the future someone is gonna help me. So that was the most memorable experience so far in Turkey.

Until next time,

Arnas.
