Merhaba;

My name is Erdem, I’m from Turkey- Giresun. I’m 20 years old (everybody call me as a youngest one ). I‘m coming from the country that connect Europe and Asia continents in Istanbul. My hometown, Giresun, is located on Nothern Turkey and it is famous for its delicious hazelnuts.

I’m second grade student in English Language Teaching Department of Gazi University. I have come Hungary, Kaposvar as a European volunteer for 2 months.

Maybe because of my job, I love to keep up with international magazins and journals such as newsweek…etc. In addition to this Swimming and Volleybal are my favourite sport activities.

Hi!

My name is Hatice Kübra Hasbenli. I am from Turkey, 24-year old and I was born in Ankara. I am studying at Gazi University. My department is Industrial Engineering and I am on the fourth grade.

I like swimming, shopping, doing teakwando and dancing Latin and oryantel. In my free time I read books, go to the theater and have a talk with my friends. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing new things with them. Also, I play a Turkish instrument that is called “ud”.

I wanted to come here because I wish to improve my foreign languages and discover different cultures. I believe that this will be wonderful experience for me!

 Gondwana has recently been acrreditated as Coordinating Organization within EVS, and will coordinate 10 hosting projects. At the moment we are starting to manage the procedures for our friends of Casa Betania, that hosts EVS volunteers since a long time.

Saturday 7th of may, the city of Kaposvar organized an event dedicated to the disable people with the aim of sensibilize the citizens to the problems related to the disabilities. The mayor Szita Karoly has taken an active part to the event to invite the politic to do more together with Lajos Hegedus the president of the Handicapped association. 

"In the European Union, millions of citizens are volunteering. People of all ages make a positive contribution to their community by investing some of their free time in civil society organisations, in youth clubs, in hospitals, in schools, in sport clibs, etc. For the Comission, volunteering is an active expression of civic participation and strengthens common European values such as solidarity and social cohesion. Volunteering also provides important learning opportunities, because involvement in voluntary activities can provide people with new skills and competences an can even improve their employability. This particularly important in this time of economic crisis. Volunteering plays an important role in sectors as varied and diverse as education, youth, culture, sport, environment, health, social care, consumer protection, humanitarian aid, development policy, research, equal opportunities and external relations."
