I believe international volunteering with IC can help me gain experience, learn more about the world and meet new interesting people, become more resilient and flexible. Languages are my occupation and vocation, my passion is photography, graphic design, animation and filmmaking. Russian poet, Nikolay Zabolotsky once wrote, ‘…your sprit must work night and day’ which can be interpreted as that one should never forget that we are surrounded by people who might need our help, so, never hesitate to them, make your spirit work. And this, I believe, is the very essence of volunteering. — Ekaterina, Russian Federation |
