How to Survive the Summer in Jesi !!!!!!

Heyyyy everyone...

I don't know how you're doing, but I can't do this anymore! I'm honestly going to melt in this heat.

Look, I know I'm from Barcelona, but this heat is different... it's so much worse! I seriously feel like I need to put myself inside the fridge.

So, while I'm trying to survive, I thought I'd share some tips for getting through the summer in Jesi.

(You'll thank me later! )

1. Go for a swim

Here in Jesi, we have two public swimming pools:

Piscina Federico II
Piscina Comunale di Jesi

The entrance fee is usually between 6€ and 10€, depending on how long you want to stay. Trust me, spending a few hours in the water is worth every euro!

2. Escape to the sea

If you're in Jesi, just hop on a train to Falconara Marittima. If the trains are running on time (fingers crossed ), you'll be there in less than 15 minutes.

It's the perfect place to spend a relaxing day at the beach, whether you're with friends or enjoying some time by yourself.

3. Stay a little longer at the Caritas office...

Why?

Because they have air conditioning!!

Honestly... 100% recommended.

4. Wait until the evening for an aperitivo

Leave the house around 7:00 p.m. and meet your friends for an aperitivo.

Yes, it'll probably still be hot... but at least you'll be holding an Aperol Spritz.

(Well... in my case, it's always an Hugo Spritz. Highly recommended! )

5. Get yourself a fan

Seriously... if you don't have one already, buy a fan!

It may not be air conditioning, but it'll become your best friend during the summer. Whether you're trying to sleep, work, or simply survive another hot afternoon, you'll be grateful to have it.

6. Find the friend with air conditioning

This might be the best survival tip of all.

Find a friend whose house has air conditioning and spend the afternoon there playing cards, chatting, watching a movie, or just enjoying the fact that you can finally breathe again.

And that's it!

I hope these tips help you survive the Jesi summer.

Stay hydrated, drink lots of water, wear sunscreen, and try not to melt.

European Solidarity Corps and Servizio Civile Universale volunteers

Ciao! It's Louise. Today I would like to speak about the connection that exists between ESC and "Servizo civile" (SCU) volunteers. As an ESC volunteer, my experience is different from the SCU volunteers in several ways. For one, I am an international volunteer coming to Italy for six months, whereas the SCU volunteers are Italians staying in Caritas for one whole year. Second, the SCU volunteers work in just one service for a three-month period (Centro d'ascolto, cucina, emporio or reception). I, on the other hand, move between different areas of Caritas each day, giving me a wider variety of tasks and responsibilities. This also means it took me longer than them to adapt and become efficient, but after just a few weeks or months, I became more independent in every service, whereas they have to adapt to a new service every three months. I met the SCU volunteers of Caritas during my second week when they returned from their training. I had the chance to work alongside ...

My experiences with migrants in Caritas

Hello everyone! It's Louise. Today, I'd like to share with you two actions in which I recently participated. They taught me a lot, both on a human level and in terms of the concrete challenges involved in welcoming and supporting migrants in Italy. Welcoming migrants on their arrival at the port Two weeks ago, I went with Marco D’Aurizio (President of Caritas Jesina) and other workers of Caritas Ancona to welcome a group of 276 migrants who had arrived on the Ocean's Viking (a boat that rescues migrants at sea) at Ancona’s port. We were there at 8am, under grey skies and a cold wind, ready to hand out breakfast: a bottle of water, an apple, a filled brioche, and tea for those who wanted it. The reception was very closely supervised by the police, which made the organisation very rigorous, but also a little tense. At first, we let people sit down, take time to eat and warm up. But soon, the police were pressing us to get the migrants onto the buses waiting nearby. So, we h...

Volunteer Oct24. 3 months so far!

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 shared so much time with my project partner; it was nice having someone in the same situation. First month Once the schedule was set, we had to adjust not only to the work but also to the people we shared the time with. As all the services are done with local people, at first it was difficult the communication as I had 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. My birthday arrived eventually an...
