Arrivederci Max!

 

 Max travelled back to Catalonia on 1.9.23 to start his studies in political science at the University of Barcelona
 
 
You were so lucky to get a place at the university of your choice in Barcelona! 
But yes... unfortunately this mean ending your ESC project early and having to leave Jesi after two months.
 
We can only thank you for being available and sharing your ideas about the world. You are now returning  to your beloved Catalonia. The European Solidarity Corps is a window to the world.... for you, for me and for Caritas in Jesi. It gives us insights into cultural, social and political circumstances and allows mutual understanding to grow. Just as we have learned from you, I hope that your experiences here will also help you in your future life. I wish you all the best!

Arrivederci 🙌

May 2024 highlights

🌟 Reflecting on May 🌟 After a great start in April and returning from a long trip to Naples and Rome we decided to enjoy a more relaxed side of Jesi. Here are some of the things we did in May.  On Arrival training May started with a 5 days training in Rome. This training was organized by the Italian National Agency.

April 2024 highlights

🌟 Reflecting on April 🌟 April was our first month here at Caritas Jesi it was an incredible month. Here are some of the highlights that made it truly memorable: Day trip to Loreto We started our journey in Loreto with servizio civile meeting where we integrated with other young people. Later we discovered the city starting with Basilica of the Holy House. It is basically the central attraction. It’s believed that is the house where the Virgin Mary lived and where the Annunciation took place. We also explored the charming streets, local shops, and traditional Italian cafes. The town offers a serene atmosphere with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and the Adriatic Sea. We liked the vibes. Palestinian Dinner Caritas organized a fundraising dinner for Palestine. We were invited to help the staff preparations before the start of the dinner. All the food was traditional Palestinian food made by Italian-Palestinian women.  During the dinner, people expressed their solidari...

Volunteer Oct24, Río's first blog. Life before Jesi

I’m from Madrid, Spain, and in this first blog, I will share my life before volunteering and how I discovered the ESC. The next one should be about my life here. I would like to start by providing some context about how I got to know the ESC by talking about my life in Majadahonda, Madrid. After the quarantine, my family and I moved from Aluche (in south-central Madrid) to Majadahonda (on the western outskirts) due to financial struggles, which was a significant change for us.

However, I was still under 18 and thought I had to prioritise my formal studies. Then, in November 2022, I met someone who transformed my life; it all began with a si...
