Hey hop, yesterday we arrived in Germany!
Today this is already the end of this adventure.
There is the end of three months that I was looking forward to. This adventure began with a small fear of the language especially.
Of course at the beginning it was a little bit difficult for me to talk and understand the children. But with a little perseverance things have improved because I heard the same vocabulary every day, and I got used on that words.
Lucky that I was working in the kindergarden Kita Christusgemeinde, to have a very cool boss and children. My first day already he gathered all the employees and their children, explained that I do not speak German and I am their new professor. He has spoken softly and taught me words in German.
I woke up every morning with a smile because I went to work with children super happy to see me coming to be amused – even couple up of them called me Papa, it was too cute and very rewarding for me.
The generosity and the gratitude of the children is priceless
Personally my first experience in kindergarden with the children for me is a success. I learned a lot not only for children but also for me.
Vergangene Woche besuchten uns unsere Partnerorganisationen vom Balkan in Halle für unsere lange geplante Partnerkonferenz, die wir zusammen mit unseren deutschen Partnerorganisationen Schüler helfen leben, Eirene und Pax Christi Aachen organisierten und durch Weltwärts gefördert ist.
For working in kindergarten it was something completely new for me and i was exited for doing it..
1st week of work was like always getting to know each other with the colleges and the children.
After it started the normal working hours and tasks trying to get into the work and getting used to work with other people from another culture but of course having problems with the language and it was like normal for beginning but after a month getting better with my language and of course my tasks were getting more and more. But later was getting boring because having a lot of work in kitchen and the kids were so young (2 years old) I couldn't do my tasks with them because they don't speak so clear and don't understand me, so I was always trying to speak with my boss for getting a solution what to do or I had always to ask what can I do and the only response was stay in the kitchen and that was something really boring for me because I am a volunteer and my choice was working with kids not in kitchen. Having meeting every week with my boss in the end we found a solution that I could change my work and going to work in Kinder- und Jugendhaus.
Hallo,
ich bin Ognjen Banović, 20 Jahre alt, und ich komme aus Bosnien / Republika Srpska. Ich bin in Halle (Saale) 6 Monaten und mache dort einen Freiwilligendienst.
Die letzten 6 Monaten hier in Halle waren super. Am Anfang hat alles super geklappt: Neue Platz, neue Gastfamilie, neue Freunde, neuer Job und schon damals war ich schon zufrieden mit allem.Trotzdem waren es auch schweriges Tages. Ich vermisse meine Stadt, meine Familie, meine Freunde. Aber ich habe mich gedacht, dass ich in Halle nur ein Jahr sein werde und darum muss ich selbst das besten geben, um meine Ziele zu erreichen. Meinen Ziele sind: mich um meinem Beruf weiterzuentwickeln und Deutsch zu lernen. Halle ist eine schöne Stadt, hier gibt es viele Studenten, Parken, Diskotheken und das gefällt mir sehr. Ich bin zufrieden und Halle wird mir am Ende wenn ich wieder nach Bosnien zurükkehre, auf jeden Fall fehlen.
Olli aus Halle ist seit fast Wochen in Sanski Most und unterstützt dort eine lokale Friedensorganisation. Auf der Homepage der Organisation stellt er sich vor:

I really love this place, and it's always good like you are with people that you know all your life. I'm always happy when i must go there.
My work day starts that when I come i ask people what is planed for that day. The person who is always with me is my mentor. He always gives guidelines on how and what I need to do that day. And I am very happy to have him as my mentor.
Hello! My name is Ivana and i’m working in kindergarten Marktspatzen.
My every day is usually the same. I come at kindergarten in morning, then we have a morning circle where we all together sing, read the book etc . After that sometimes we go outside and play in the yard or stay inside making something, painting or just play also.
