Duck Race

5000 ducks racing on the Bega River. Each of them had an 'adoptive' parent who donated 5 lei for the rehabilitation of this river crossing our city.

It was a big event, the first of its kind in Timisoara, so I'm proud to have been part of the organizing team. At the end of the day, we raised money, and had fun (despite the cold, pouring rain)! Moreover, people gathered on the banks of the river and felt something was, at last, going to be done in order to change the lousy state it's been in for decades. Being a volunteer really fills my life with interesting experiences, and my heart with joy.

Projects!

Haven't written in a while..

I'm busy with different projects. There's Rotaract, where I'm a volunteer, and this week we turn 40! :) Well, at least Rotaract in the world does. We have an anniversary project and many presentations about what it means to be a rotaractor.

Then there's school.. I chose a group of students from International Relations and European Studies to be part of a cross-continental project. In fact I'm quite excited about our Sister Classes from Brazil, USA, Kuweit, Hungary, Sudan and Argentina (if I'm not mistaken). We are working on presentations which we'll share with students from these countries. Then we'll leave comments and questions about their slideshows, it's all so new and interesting! We are keeping in touch on this blog.

Interesting spring ahead..
