by Median from Sambia Two weeks ago, I was in Bad Schandau for an intermediate seminar. Bad Schandau is a town in the district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge in Saxony. It is located on the right bank of the Elbe, at the mouth of the Kirnitzsch valley and is often referred to as Saxon Switzerland. This was the center of our seminar.

by Phaskal Barus from Indonesia April 2023 was a month I will always remember. The journey began when I was about to travel to Germany to start my work as a South-North volunteer in one of the big German cities, Dortmund.

by Nisha from Sri Lanka If there is a beginning, there is also an end. But I didn’t realize how fast the time can fly! This whole year was packed with experiences, life lessons and emotions. I still remember how lonely and sad I was in the beginning of my volunteer year because it was the first time I was away from my family for a long period. Those days I was really thinking when will I finally be able to go home. But after some time the others arrived in the house and the house became full and my mindset changed. I really loved being a part of this volunteer family and in the last days I remember I didn’t want to go back to my home in my country. People around you,
