Moji prvi dani volontiranja u Centru Slave Raškaj
Ponedjeljak je bio prvi dan mog volontiranja i ja sam se većuspjela izgubiti u gradu. Naime, zajedno sam sa Biserkom otišlado osnovne škole gdje on volontira, a zapravo sam trebala otići u srednju školu, koja se nalazi u drugom dijelu grada i tu je počelamoja prva avantura u nepoznatom gradu. Nisam imala interneta, pa sam pitala prolaznike koji su me veoma ljubazno uputili namoju destinaciju. Nakon par propuštenih stanica i dosta hodanja, konačno sam stigla u školu i tamo upoznala osoblje i nekeučenike. Bilo je veoma haotično, nisam znala ko je ko, niti gdjese šta nalazi, svi su djelovali nekako zauzeto i užurbano. Zapravo, ja sam taj dan imala tremu, pa mi je sve to takodjelovalo, ali sam već sljedećeg dana uvidjela da je škola poputkošnice gdje svi marljivo rade za dobrobit djece.
Imala sam priliku da vidim kako profesorice rade sa djecomindividualno i pomažu im savladati gradivo i bilo mi je bašdrago vidjeti da djeca imaju prijateljski odnos sa svima. Sa pedagogicom sam učestvovala u jednoj radionici gdje sampomagala učenicama da smisle nastavak ili kraj priče koju sučuli. Imala sam malu tremu, jer prvi put me vide i pitala sam se kako će reagovati, ali djevojčice su me lijepo prihvatile i aktivnoučestvovale u kreiranju priče. Neki učenici su mi se obraćali sa"nastavnice" i pitali me koji ću im predmet predavati. To mi je bilo baš neobično i smiješno, jer nisam navikla da budem u takvoj ulozi, ali bilo je i veoma lijepo i osjećala sam se bašispunjeno i sretno.
Pred nama je sad slobodna sedmica, a ja jedva čekam da se vratimo u školu i da radimo i družimo se.
My first days of volunteering at the Slave Raškaj Center
After a long wait, I finally arrived in Zagreb. Biserko, my roommate, welcomed me in the apartment. He nicely explained everything to me and we already on the first day of my arrival walked around Zagreb together and he showed me some of the most important sights of the city. The city is very beautiful and I can't wait for a bit nicer and warmer weather so that I can walk and explore the city as much as possible.
Monday was the first day of my volunteering and I already managed to get lost in the city. Namely, together with Biserko, I went to the elementary school where he volunteers, but I was actually supposed to go to the high school, which is located in another part of the city, and that's where my first adventure in an unknown city began. I didn't have access to internet, so I asked passers-by who very kindly directed me to my destination. After a couple of missed stops and a lot of walking, I finally arrived at the school and met the staff and some students there. It was very chaotic, I didn't know who was who, or where anything was, everyone seemed somehow busy and in a hurry. Actually, I was very nervous that day, so it all seemed like that to me, but the very next day I saw that the school is like a beehive where everyone works diligently for the benefit of the children.
I had the opportunity to see how the teachers work with the children individually and help them master the material, and I was very happy to see that the children have a friendly relationship with everyone. I participated in a workshop with the teacher, where I helped the students to come up with a continuation or an ending to the story they had heard. I was nervous, because it was the first time they saw me and I wondered how they would react, but the girls accepted me nicely and actively participated in creating the story. Some students addressed me as "professor" and asked me which subject I would teach them. That was very unusual and funny for me, because I'm not used to being in such a role, but it was also very nice and I felt really fulfilled and happy.
We now have a week off, and I can't wait to go back to school and work and hang out.
