Caravan of volunteering



On 8th of October we had international guests in the library. They came with "Caravan of volunteering". It was organize by DEINETA and the route of it was going through few Lithuanian towns Shvenchionys - Zarasai - Anykščiai - Tytuvėnai - Plunge. 
At list 8 guys came. Among them were 5 lithuanian volunteers and 3 international  - 2 girls from Italy Francesca and Gioia and Judith from Germany. They had a mission to promote and share with young people information about volunteering oportunities, DEINETA's work and projects. 

This meeting was very interesting. Girls shared their huge volunteer's experience. For example, Francesca and Gioia participated in some local Italian projects and projects in Nepal and Brasil. And Judith had her project in Armenia. Her project was long term but it wasn't EVS.
Girls was coming to Lithuania first time and was impressed of Lithuanian nature and culture. 

We spent time in very interesting discussion and everybody after it was really inspired. Hope some of that young guys will try volunteering even just once!!!
