Our fifth week of volunteering in Curtea de Argeș, Romania was another incredible step in this school restoration project, always under Raluca's excellent leadership. Throughout the days, the team worked with great energy and the overall progress was highly positive. We focused mainly on cutting the grass and clearing out the rubbish, but we also turned our hands to several other essential tasks to bring new life to the site.
In addition to our work at the school, Tuesday was a very special day as we also ran a project with children at the local library. To break up the work routine later in the week, Thursday afternoon was dedicated to socializing and learning, as we gathered to discover the secrets of bridge, the card game. The spirit of sharing continued in a big way on Friday with our multicultural event. Each volunteer brought typical dishes from their own country, turning the afternoon into a true feast of flavors, joy and cultural exchange.
The weekend started with a very special energy. On Saturday afternoon, our meeting point was the local museum, where we organized various fun and educational activities with the community's children, which was extremely rewarding. To top it all off, Sunday was a day for tourism and adventure: we visited the region's impressive dam and had the incredible opportunity to spot bears, among other fascinating sights and experiences.
It was, without a doubt, a week packed with different activities, learning and unforgettable moments, making this experience in Romania more and more memorable.
