Carolina Reis | FÉRIAS NA DESPORTIVA volunteer
My testimony as a volunteer for the program Férias na Desportiva refers to the project in the School of Rugby of Galicia.
It was this summer that I decided to apply for the first time to the School of Rugby of Galicia, with the purpose of trying something different, an environment in which I had never worked, in order to improve in particular my ability to interact with the next and myself in full. I submitted my application in advance and when I learned I was accepted, I was extremely happy and confident.
It was an immensely dynamic and fun experience! Each day was different from the previous one, which was quite motivating and captivating. I succeeded, thanks to the children with whom I interact daily, with my colleagues and superiors, to overcome numerous difficulties that I had in communication with my fellow men. The project also helped me and reinforce certain values such as the importance of organization and compliance, solidarity with others, patience, empathy and understanding for others (among many other values, of course).
I loved the experience as a volunteer in the School of Rugby of Galicia. I am very grateful for the colleagues I have been with and also for the superiors and the fantastic children with whom I have lived every day who have taught me to play again and have revived my childish spirit!
