What do our previous volunteers say?

I learned new skills and challenged myself with tasks, I didn't believe I could handle. It was a great motivation for me to imagine the future of the youth center. One day I will be back to see the progress. Egyesek is the NGO that influenced my life the most and I'm so thankful for the opportunities!

Dimana

This workcamp has been one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences of my life. In just one week I have grown fond of the whole organisation, the children and the volunteers. I will definitely come back. It has been wonderful.

Ana Pintos

It is a very well organised workcamp. The work with the kids was a lot of fun. There was enough spare time for interaction between the participants, games and performances. I have beautiful memories and recommend the workcamp.

The most beautiful life experience. If I could start all over again, I wouldn't change anything. According to me, everything was perfect: food, accommodation, organization, activities, spare time... I would recommend everyone to apply to this project.

I'm glad that I had an opportunity to participate in this project. This was one of the best experience I have ever had. It was filled with wonderful people and interesting activities. I would recommend this project because through fun you learn new things and help the community.
