We are starting new photo series "Humans of IYACA" in which we will present our volunteers and members of IYACA who will share some stories from their volunteering activities and Erasmus+ projects.
"One day I was in a restaurant in Bulgaria because I was doing my short-term EVS volunteering in this country. A few strange-looking men approached me with a deep grief on their faces. Suddenly they started making comments like “poor girl”, “do you have hair?”, “are you sick?”, “what kind of cancer do you have?” I was in deep shock. I have never heard similar reactions about my hijab... I have politely explained them why my hair was covered and assured that I was doing just fine.”
Şule – IYACA volunteer.
