Well worth doing

I did a programme in a remote part of Eastern Poland. The actual venue had a few issues but the pupils made it all worth while. A lovely, willing bunch of people who learned from us, and from whom we learned. It is my any measure a very full on and intense programme but so long as you keep your energy up and your enthusiasm higher you'll be fine.

Your fellow volunteers are likely to be an eclectic bunch much worth listening too. They are likely to come from all over the world, be of all ages and carry a wide range of experiences. Our ages ranged from about 20 to 59 which was a real help in managing the students.

All in all, a good experience. if only in the nine days I was there they'd changed the towels once or given us a refill of toilet paper. But these are minor things.
