Cze\u015b\u0107! My name is Helin. I\u2019m 23 years old and I\u2019m from Turkey. I come from Ardahan, which is a beautiful city in the eastern part of the country.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Hi! I\u2019m a university student and I\u2019ve just arrived in Krak\u00f3w. I\u2019ll be working with childrenat a special school here for the next few months. Because of some technical issues, I joined the project a bit late, but I\u2019m really determined to make the most of my time here and learn as much as I can. I\u2019ve always loved spending time with children and sharing things with them, so I\u2019m very excited about this experience.
I\u2019m not new to the world of volunteering; I previously took part in a project in Macedonia. I had so much fun there that I wanted to keep this spirit alive. I love pushing my comfort zone and getting to know new cultures instead of just staying in one place. I didn\u2019t have any previous connection to Poland, and I\u2019ve only been here for two days. I haven\u2019t had the chance to explore the city yet, but I\u2019m very curious about it\u2014I\u2019m sure it\u2019s beautiful and has so much to discover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In my free time, I love reading, making music, and taking photos. I\u2019m also a nature person; camping and going for long hikes are essential for me. I\u2019ve always had a deep interest in psychology as well\u2014understanding people\u2019s inner worlds adds a lot to my perspective. Even though I won’t have enough time to fully learn Polish, I\u2019m really motivated to at least get familiar with the language.
I\u2019m so excited to meet people from different backgrounds. I believe the energy of Krak\u00f3w will teach me a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
There\u2019s a quote by Carl Jung that sums up my perspective on life: “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” For me, this journey is not just about seeing a new country, but also about looking inside myself and discovering who I am. I\u2019m ready to stay positive and enjoy every moment!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
