"When I moved to Budapest 5 months ago I was SO excited to start this life-changing experience! My biggest dream was coming true: I was about to live abroad in a city that stole my heart at first sight while getting to collaborate with an organization determined to make a positive impact on society. The beginning of my ESC was hectic and definitely challenging. It was in the middle of summer -meaning that many workcamps, trainings, and youth exchanges were going on. Every single Egyesek member was working hard and doing their best. At the same time, I started my duties as a social media volunteer taking footage of the different programs, helping trainers develop them, preparing info packs, and taking over Egyesek’s social media accounts! Soon enough my fellow volunteer, Linda, joined us in Egyesek’s headquarters. Along with some members of the office, we started developing a structured social media plan and community building activities. Getting to work by their side makes this experience much more wholesome and heart-warming. We also started providing info sessions about European opportunities to youngsters, and attending different fairs under the same purpose! During these past 5 months I have had the chance to meet different people, including other volunteers both from Egyesek and other organizations, interns, professionals, and local people. Some of them I already had to say goodbye to, while some others just got into my life. I also have had the opportunity to develop different skills on a professional level, and challenge myself personally. I cannot believe time passes by that quickly! And I cannot wait to see what is waiting for me these following 5 months left as an ESC volunteer. All in all, what I can say is that I am happy to have enrolled in such an adventure, and to be able to give back to society doing my bit."
