Ciao, Hola and Hi! I’m Río Rojas Mayorga and it's been 3 months since I'm an ESC volunteer here in Caritas Jesina. Let me update you briefly about my experience! The arrival and first week in Caritas was a mix of emotions between the excitement to start and the confusion of all the new people and information we were bombarded with. At first we didn't have a schedule and it was a little bit messy but I’m glad I got to share a lot of time with my partner on the project and it was nice to have someone in the same situation. First month Then when we had the schedule fixed it was time to habituate not just to the work but to the people we shared this time with. As all the services are done with local people, at first it was difficult the communication as I came with no words in Italian, but I was gladly surprised to find out my will of talking and sharing was lovely appreciated and corresponded, I found out the language barrier was a challenge but i wasn’t fighting it alone....
