Volunteering with CADFA : First impressions
While looking on the platform EVS for a body
susceptible to welcome me in the realization of my professional application,
which is necessary for the obtaining of my diploma (in the project management
and the development aid), I founded and I decided to take part in CADFA’s
activities (after being accepted off course).
I arrived in London last Friday (November, the
4th). I had found an apartment before coming and even if it is not for my taste
and relatively overvalued (even in London, it seems), it is situated in Chalk Farm,
very close to Camden Town, but especially close to most of the places of
activities of CADFA, which is very interesting. Annika recommended me to
balance the pros and the cons.
On Saturday, I participated in a meeting about
the journey in Palestine which will take place at the end of the month and in
whom I will take part. It allowed me to meet Nandita and some of my travelling
companions. It was an interesting experience, the atmosphere was relaxed, even
when we approached tender issues, what often arrives when speaking about
Palestine.
Today I met Annika. We have discussed multiple
subjects about the situation in Palestine and about activities of CADFA. It was
very enriching, especially as we tried to determine together which could be my
role within the organization and which profits I could benefit from my
experience. One of the advantages of volunteering lives in the fact of building
its work with the receiving organization.
I look forward to learn more and to provide my
contribution to the actions of CADFA, through an experience which looks to be
enriching on a professional level as well as on the human plan.
