One month left

I can't believe that only one moth left here in Denmark. In the beginning of August I will go to Africa, Malawi. My project is Teacher Training College in Chilangoma. I am looking forward to go there.

But first I am going to tell how everything started.

My story of getting into the volunteer program - Development Instructor program began ten years ago. I saw an article in the newspaper. It was about one Lithuanian girl who went to Denmark to DI program and after that she went to Africa where she did really good job. She worked in the TTC (Teacher training college) and with the local community in Africa. I remember what I thought about her "very brave, determined and strong person" and I was jealous of her experience and her bravery and determination. Now that I am here I can say that it is not easy to start a new path in your life but if you want to change something everything is possible. A long time passed after that moment when I read this article but finally I am here. This winter I went to info meeting about DI program in Vilnius, Lithuania and after that I enrolled myself in this program. Now I am part of February team in Gansager and I haven't regretted my decision to join DI program. Of course I liked my life in Lithuania I had a job that I loved and a lot of friends that I miss so much. But I made decision to come here because I felt that if don't make this decision now then I will never go to Africa as volunteer and I will regret that. One of my dreams was to be a volunteer. I think that sometimes people have dreams but they are afraid to take actions and to change their life. I didn't want this dream to be one of those that never come true. That's why I made up my mind, enrolled in the program and booked my ticket to Denmark. That's why I am preparing for my project in Africa and I know that I will do a good job there.

I am not this person who wants to save the world and everybody in this world. Usually I am sarcastic, crazy and making bad jokes about many things. But this time I feel that I really want to do something in Africa and I want to help somebody and I want to save somebody :}
