Hi everyone! My name is Arnas. I am from a small
town called Širvintos, Lithuania. I'm volunteering in Ankara, Turkey for two
months.
So far, my experience in Turkey has been amazing.
This is my second time visiting another country, and I find it mind-blowing
because of the stunning views in Ankara. When we were landing in Turkey, I saw
mountains and fields from the plane window. It was so exciting—I wish you could
have felt what I did! I’ve seen some mosques, and experiencing the new culture
and religion here has been very interesting.
When I arrived in Ankara, I thought it would be
easy to adapt to the culture and religion, but I was wrong. There have been
some challenges, but I can say that from those difficulties, some wonderful
experiences have emerged. For example, visiting Lösev and learning about how
they help children with cancer was truly inspiring.
It was emotional to see how
they provide opportunities for cancer patients and their families to travel and
experience new things in life. So, from the tough moments have come good
things—like a flower just starting to bloom. I know there are more experiences
ahead for me in Turkey.
We also visited Hatay, which was affected by an
earthquake last year. We went there to help collect mandarins for people in
need after the disaster. That experience was fantastic; I felt fulfilled
knowing that I helped someone without expecting anything in return. I believe
that someday, someone will help me too. That has been my most memorable
experience so far in Turkey.
Until next time,
Arnas
