Volunteer in Goa

Hi everyone, here I will try to be the most honest as possible. I will tell you what I did and the different aspect of my gap year.

I come back to India and more precisely to Goa. It's a beautiful country while the poverty which is everywhere.  I was just affraid by the deseases in this country.                                                        

I have found this gap year in an association called gap year360. This association present to young people, to students different spaces where the can do something meaningful. When I saw the picture of poor children in Goa I decided to go there.

My mission was of helping kids in the poor community of Goa. They was living in terrible condition and the children didn't know how to write. They didn't go to school. It's for that I decided to teaching them. I decided to teaching how to write and draw there names, the different artist, and give to them an art culture. Art is my passion so I would learn it!

The child was very nice and know the true valor of life. They didn't used technologie and they didn't want it. Goa's children see the important of family and of cummunity. They played with all children in the village. Nobody was exclued. I play with them and it's very pleasant to have no problem that we can see in our country.

Now I will tell you my feelings about this gap year. In the beginning it's difficult to live in this condition. It was hard to didn't have the comfort that you have in other country. Moreover the problem of language was not a problem while we didn't spoke the same language. I was not preocupate by something useless. It was a pleasure to live with them and to share something with them. I was very sad to left them and to return in my city.

Finally this gap year was a very good experience. I remember the true valor which are diseaper in city. I just think that it's important to go to a gap year with others people. It's not important to know them, but to me it was important to have someone to debate and to speak about what a did in Goa.
