Hi friends, it’s Alex again! I’m here to share more about my first week of volunteering this year after getting back from the holidays. By the way, here it’s one of the cool presents I got last week.
Right as I came back, the volunteer duties came calling again and I was more than excited to meet Misha and Philip in the office first thing Monday. Not only did I bring Misha the homemade strawberry jam I brought from a friend, but I brought a lot of stories I was looking forward to sharing. After that, we did some more work — planning for the week ahead, getting things in order for the LAND training and working on the website with Philip. After arranging a meeting for the website repairs, we also did something pretty cool. We made a form where all the participants coming to our trainings can fill out their details, needs and questions, while also getting more information on the itinerary and location. I also got some time to help out Philip with the header copy of the new Green School Village communication software, which we’re currently testing. Usually before and after a good day of work I put my headphones on and listen to some music while walking in the nearby park.
After this was set and done, I continued the week by translating some of the materials for our LAND training, which includes the iACT workbook and the Bibliography & Terminology document from English to Bulgarian. I also worked on a new logo for it, which we got to finalise this week. The key thing was to make it look as much as possible like the original English Logo and it was fun to attempt to do so. I brushed up on my Canva skills and put my designer hat on to be able to remake it as closely as possible without losing the original touch and earthiness.
But more about it next week!
For now, I wish you a peaceful weekend and hope to see you soon 🙂
Alex
