Why EVS?

Article by Alicia Gonzalez Paredes - EVS volunteer

This is my first time doing this kind of project which I had never heard about before  but, for me, till this experience, I will make sure that more than one person it is going to take part of more EVS projects, even if it is not with the same organization but, to take part and feel part of this awesome community of people who design and work in this kind of projects.
I totally recommend to do EVS. From my point of view I have had a great, exciting, enjoyable and educational experience. I have met lots of people during this period of time with whom I have shared my abilities, knowledge, hobbies, dreams… day by day; also I have learnt from them, more than I thought I could do it; I have had the opportunity to improve myself in such many different ways… I am really glad to have made the choice to participate in EVS because it has been teaching me new things of life each day, it has made me think that problems are not always real problems and to see things from another perspective to make me think in a different way than I was used to do it.
Doing EVS you can also choose where do you want to do it, which are your preferences and, in that way, also develop such an international language that is the English, or learn how to speak, write or, almost, understand a foreign language that is the Romanian for me right now.
I recommend it because it really surprisingly change your life, even if you do not want you, without being conscious that it is making you grow up as the same person you were but with a new mind and, maybe, soul.
