"European Voluntary Service will remain for me an unforgettable experience. It gave me opportunity to live abroad, where you can combine work , with pleasure . I learned to live independently from my family and live together with volunteers from different nationalities. Traveled, learned the language and more about the culture of the country. Practiced my English and learned basic cooking skills. I gained experience in the semi-professional activities in which I intend to develop in the future in Bulgaria. I Recommend EVS as it gives knowledge about life in the form of invaluable experience."
"EVS was a great experience. I got the opportunity to be really useful for people and nature, while I experienced many great moments getting to know different cultures and ways of thinking. Life on the island- Murter is like living on another planet - a great nature and landscapes combined with very nice and cheerful local residents. Three months is definitely not enough. I want more!"

"It was wonderful!I had luck not only with my sending organization, who made all the best for me, but also about my hosting organization and my hosting county, as Turkish people are really hospitable. The organization where I did my EVS – “System and generation” had vast experience with volunteers and Youth in action projects, so they knew how treat me. Everybody was motivated about their
volunteering, we worked together, we had a lot of fun together, we help each other a lot. I have never imagined being part of so good team. System and generation gave me the opportunity not only to do my tasks, but also to develop my own initiatives, so I did what I wanted to do and I could say I was really motivated volunteer.Of course, it wasn’t only working. I had a lot of friends there, both Turkish and international, people who I’m so happy to know. I partied, I travelled a lot (if you consider yourself traveller, Turkey is the right place!), I learned Turkish dances, dishes and customs, I experienced many adventures. After this two months I feel my spirit stronger, my mind – more open and my soul – richer."
