Great experience helping others in Bran!

Doing angloville was one of the best volunteering experiences I have had! For a small deposit you receive a free walking tour of your city including lunch, transfer to your teaching city and accomodation and food every day of your volunteering. The days are long and sometimes hard but overall it is great fun.
I took part in a one week programme helping kids in Bran, Romania. The coordinators were great and ensured volunteers and kids needs were met. This meant they allowed us to have extra free time to explore the city of Bran as well. The accomodation we stayed in was lovely and had amazing facilities including a pool. The food was also delicious and there was plenty so no money was spent while I was actually volunteering. The only problem was I was sharing with 3 rather than 2 in a room meaning I was put in a very uncomfortable camp bed. This would not usually be an issue but days are very long so a good sleep is needed. There were also not enough volunteers on my programme meaning there was no chance to have one-to-one sessions and most of our sessions were one-to-five. This did make ensuring everyone was getting a chance to speak and improve difficult!
Overall I really enjoyed the week and it seemed as though the children did too! The more volunteers the better so it would be great if more native speakers took part.
