Meet Olly, one of the volunteers we support to go abroad to volunteer. He is doing his volunteer project in Poland 🇵🇱and this is what he has to say: “Hello, I’m Olly, the new ESC volunteer sent by Lava Legato.

My passion for connecting with people and for better education for the future of young people brought me to Poland this year.

Here in Warsaw, I work at a Democratic School, a type of school based on the principle that children can and should take responsibility and have the freedom over their own learning processes.

We play games together, learn words in each other’s languages, go on excursions into nature, learn about the plants and animals around us, bake, draw, you name it!

As an artist, I’m very excited to discover the children’s interests and come up with projects based on them, that meet their passions.

Here you see Julio, one of our volunteers in Zoetermeer, proudly sharing one of his paintings, created at one of the locations where he supports people with different challenges. Julio enjoys painting together with the residents and clients, sharing creativity and inspiring others along the way. And he also gets the opportunity to explore his own creativity and create paintings of his own. This is one of them! Because we believe creativity is contagious. And sometimes, all it takes to inspire others is to start creating yourself. 🎨 💚🖌️🫟

We not only host volunteers, we also support volunteers who volunteers who go abroad. This is Thomas, a Dutch volunteer who is in Aruba 🇦🇼🌞. Read about his story: “Hello everyone, I am Mathijs and I came to Aruba to do long-term volunteering in the KIA prison. I am responsible for sport, but especially music activities. I am from the Netherlands, where I study at Wageningen University. However, on the side, I love to do sports and play trumpet in several bands. I came across this beautiful opportunity to do volunteering in two things that I love, at a place that is super interesting to me: the prison.

I live in shared accommodation with, until now, three other volunteers who all stay for 3.5 months. And since my activities in prison still had to be planned, due to the difficulty of planning in prison, the first week I went to help out my fellow volunteers. I went a day with Louis to Popcorn, which is a dancing foundation, with Alicia to the Donkey Sanctuary, and with Teresa to the childcare. I loved all these experiences and I felt like I could really contribute to their activities.

The week after, I managed to fulfill my schedule in prison, delivering sport activities such as soccer and volleyball, and music activities such as trumpet class and jam sessions where inmates learn to play together. Unfortunately, no phones are allowed in prison, and pictures are forbidden; therefore, until now, I can only share a picture we took outside of the prison.

Besides having these amazing experiences, we also got Papiamento classes, since we are long-term volunteers. These classes will be especially useful to me since I am in an environment where this language is very important.

So far, my update. See you in two weeks again for my new update.
