My february in Spain, Anna






Moikka kaikille,


The sun has finally returned and we have been able to enjoy again some nice warm days here in the island. At the end of January we had our mid-term training in Mollina, near Málaga, with 80 other volunteers! It was a great time to know more people and share some experiences. We had a week full of stories about life from different parts of Spain, each one being unique and told by the other volunteers around Europe.
In February we also had the chance to make an excursion to one of my projects, in Finca Galatzó. Perfect, sunny day to show this amazing place to my compañeros! After some work together in the Finca property, we had the chance to pick up oranges and have a traditional Majorcan lunch together in the garden.




Since October, I have spent each Monday volunteering for Galatzó. I first started my Mondays by creating them a new web page (that is going to be launched in the future) and after that participated in various Finca tasks from taking care of the chickens, to some gardening and door painting (yep, it was me!). Life at the Finca doesn’t have the word “stress” included in its vocabulary. One of my favourite moments in my Mondays has been the possibility to share my lunch with the two black pigs, which normally wander around the property (looking for food and snacks). They have a specifically sharp sense of hearing when it comes to opening the wrap around my sandwich.



Almost five months in Mallorca have passed so fast! Only one more month to go and may it be full of adventures!

CECILIA: More about my experience in Lithuania

Hi! This past month I have not written blog because I went to Christmas to Spain and I have not spent much time here. At the beginning of December I was able to visit the Christmas tree that they put next to the cathedral every year, next to a small Christmas market where I bought a couple of things to give to my family. Now in January I have returned, and in the kindergarten there have been two news volunteer girls, from another organization, who come to spend with us 6 weeks, they are from Hungary and Ukraine, they are very nice, and another new volunteer girl has also come from Turkey but she is from my organization, and lives with me, and will be with us all year. These days in the kindergarten we have done some activities since we are quite a few volunteers, for example we have made bracelets with colored threads, we have made origami forms with colored papers, etc. and I wanted to show them a Mallorcan tradition that is celebrated on January 16, wher...

Arrival Training en Kokkola (Finlandia).

¡Hola, majos! En esta entrada os quiero hablar de mi experiencia en mi Arrival Training . Si estáis haciendo un Servicio de Voluntariado Europeo, o como se conoce ahora, Cuerpo de Solidaridad Europeo, una de vuestras actividades durante vuestro proyecto es la del Arrival Training , la formación de llegada. Consiste en que a todas las personas que llevan menos de 3 meses realizando su proyecto de voluntariado en el país donde lo realizan se reúnen para tratar los derechos y deberes del voluntario. Mediante actividades dinámicas, juegos y hasta alguna clase de Finlandés en mi caso, conocemos la importancia de ser un voluntario europeo y la forma de poder aprovechar la oportunidad. Personalmente, creo que también es una forma muy útil de conocer a personas que están en la misma situación que tú y que, incluso si echas de menos personas de tu país, también es probable que encuentres alguna. Puedes hacer amigos y, si tienes amigos en distintos lugares del país, es más fácil vi...

¡Hola, guapos y guapas! I hope that your last month was as nice as mine and that you are enjoying reading our blog and participating a bit in our Mallorca life! January has been full of emotions. I am going to tell you some highlights in a very short way. My 2019 started at high speed: in my free time I continued visiting around both the island and the peninsula. Madrid has been a discovery because I didn't expect at all that it's such a fascinating city. I will go back there for sure! I also took the chance of exploring the neighborhood that let me change my mind again about Mallorca: it's even more wonderful than I already thought. This island has so many different landscapes and views, so nice pueblitos and so friendly people. Then the month finished with the middle-term evaluation: we flew to Malaga and we met 70 other volunteers from all over Spain. It has been a moment of pure joy sharing our volunteering experiences and working on how we co...
