They say every great story starts with a hero, a journey, and some life-changing event. This one starts with me\u2026 accidentally burning Turkish soup in a Slovak kitchen and then somehow ending up playing with Ukrainian kids and discussing funny words in Slovak with teenagers over board games. Not your usual story, but hey, volunteering is full of plot twists. So buckle up, this might not be epic, but it\u2019s definitely real.<\/span><\/p>

Hi, I\u2019m Abdullah, from Turkiye. Since February 15, I\u2019ve been an ESC volunteer with Youth for Equality in Trnava. I have been here for three months and have 7 months to finish it, and if I had to summarize these months in one word, it would probably be: <\/span>exotic.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Because here\u2019s the thing: I didn\u2019t expect to play with Ukrainian kids every Monday, get addicted to card games with youth every Tuesday, or dance like a maniac with Slovak teenagers. I didn\u2019t expect that I\u2019d learn so much about a country not from books or museums, but from the laughter of children, the silent nods of understanding, and the chaos of multilingual atmospheres.<\/span><\/p>

Mondays That Matter<\/span><\/h4>

Every Monday, I\u2019ve been volunteering focused on supporting integration through sports sessions with Ukrainian kids. It\u2019s mostly football, basketball, and volleyball, but it’s more than just sports. It\u2019s smiles, small wins, and hearing your name shouted out like you\u2019re a world-class athlete. These kids bring energy and so much joy into the game that you forget about language barriers. <\/span>Sports speak louder anyway<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Tuesdays <\/span><\/h4>

My Tuesday ritual is playing with kids under supervision of our coordinators, where kids are from disadvantaged backgrounds who come to simply be themselves. We\u2019ve played dozens of games, from intense board game battles to silly dancing competitions. They even gave me local nicknames like Abdulka, Abdulko\u2026 and, for reasons I\u2019m still trying to understand, Hasbulla (yes, that Hasbulla). Some days, I felt like I was the teacher. Other days, definitely the student. It was hilarious and heartwarming at the same time. I saw Slovak culture through their eyes: raw, honest, unfiltered. And trust me, there\u2019s no better way to learn.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Thursdays with English class<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Thursdays are reserved for something a bit more laid-back but just as meaningful, English conversation classes. Every week, we sit down with a group of people aged anywhere from 16 to 60, and we just… talk. Sometimes we have topics prepared, but we never let them limit us. The atmosphere is always friendly, open, and full of laughter. We chat about everyday life, current events, random stories, whatever people feel like bringing to the table. What amazes me most is how much I end up learning, not just about Slovakia, but about different perspectives, experiences, and ways of thinking. And the best part? They also learn from each other. It\u2019s more than a language exchange, it\u2019s a human exchange.<\/span><\/p>

The On-Arrival training after my Arrival<\/span><\/h4>

Three weeks after arriving, I found myself in Nova Dubnica at the On-Arrival Training. Five days, one unforgettable experience. It was like a summer camp for volunteers: people from all over Europe (and neighboring corners of the world), aged 18 to 30, sharing stories, perspectives, and dreams. We learned about our rights, how to improve our projects, and more importantly, that none of us were alone in this journey. Also, the trainers? Absolutely legendary people. What I learned here was inspiring. I left with a head full of inspiration, a heart full of memories, and photos full of moments I\u2019ll definitely smile at for years.<\/span><\/p>

Speaking Up (In High Schools)<\/span><\/h4>

Another highlight? Visiting high schools around Trnava and helping to our youth workers in workshops. I got to kick things off with energizers and team-building games, and then dive into the topic of the day and to talk with students and think together. Reactions ranged from curious questions to polite 8 a.m. smiles, which, let\u2019s be honest, is already a big success at that time of day.<\/span><\/p>

Youth exchange Experience<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>I also had the chance to help in a Youth Exchange with participants from the Visegrad countries, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of my volunteering journey. The exchange focused on democracy and everything connected to it, and while it was educational, it was also incredibly fun. What stood out to me was how people from these neighboring countries seemed so different at first, yet shared so many cultural similarities, even their expressions and sense of humor felt familiar. It was a unique experience, unlike anything else I had done, and one I\u2019ll never forget.<\/span><\/p>

Now, as May comes to an end, I look back and realize that volunteering isn\u2019t about \u201chelping others\u201d in the way people often imagine. It\u2019s about sharing space, time, and energy. It\u2019s about being present, being surprised, and sometimes being ridiculously out of your comfort zone, and loving it anyway.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
