My EVS family * Η EVS οικογένειά μου

Well, I think it is the moment to present you my EVS "family", my "family" here in Poland. So, let's start:

Anna, the "mother": President of the "EUROPA Młodych" ("EUROPE of the Youth") Association, that is co-ordinating our EVS Projects here in Koszalin, Anna is working in a Municipal Cultural Institute.

She's quite smart and she loves complaining (as a lot of Poles do) about things, even if she already knows (or supposes) that they be better really soon.

She's really the "head" of the Association and the "heart" of our Project. Friends (that means also us) call her Annia.

Marcin, the "father": Annia's husband, Marcin is the Vice-President and responsible for the Economics of the "EUROPA Młodych" Association. Working as a journalist, he's our "media networking" person.

He's quite silent but makes really funny jokes. He always asks me about my life with the girls and still wonders how I succeed to live with three girls in the same house.

Meltem, the first "sister": Coming from Antalyia, Turkey, this 24 years old girl is my project partner. She describes herself as a feminist and she REALLY is!!! That makes things sometimes difficult for me, but I think there's always space for improvement.

Amanda, the second "sister": Amanda, 19 years old, is Swedish, from Oland. She's a quite silent girl, but she's also a great dancer. We're not worning in the same project, but her project is in a day-room for children coming from problematic families (alcoholic parents e.t.c.).

Alejandra, the third "sister": Coming from Murcia, Spain, this 18 years old girl is the youngest (but sometimes mature enough) member of our family. She's working together with Amanda and there's only one comment I can make about her: she feels the rhythm! No, she LIVES the rhythm. Whatever she does has a rhythm, a great rhythm...

Marek, the "big brother": Marek is a Polish ex-EVS Volunteer in France that lives in Koszalin. He studies in the local University of Technology and he also works in a real estate office. He is really our "big brother", as he takes care of us, shows us Koszalin night and student life (well, the one that exists :) ) and is always available for parties!!!
