EVS USEFUL INFORMATION

    HELLO HELLO!!! I AM BACK!!!

Today i will talk about what i am doing in Finland. First at all i am here living in Lahti doing the EVS programme. EVS means "European Volunteer Services", there is many kind of volunteer services from work with disable people to build a boat, you just need to find the one you like the most and apply for it,mine is about multicultural respect, we organize event for foreign people from all ages, in this events you can get to know people from all around the world and make new friends having fun.
How can you apply for it?- first  have a look in the list of the projects as i told you there is many so is not easy task to do, and also take in consideration the country that you would like to go. After that you need to find your sending organization and receiving organization. I recommend you find first your sending organization, they can help you to find your project. 
 You can find the list in this link:

As you can see in the website there is many organization and countries make sure that the organization that you chose is a receiveng organization, (not all the organization offer projects.)

How to apply it?-You need to send an email to the SENDING organization of your city, if not of your country in the email you MUST include your CV and a motivation letter telling a bit about yourself and the reason why you apply for that project and why you are the best candidate for it, (both have to be in english language). When you get the email confirming that you have your sending organization start sending the same email to the organization you want to work for, this is the hard part of it, some organization doesn´t answer you back, others have already volunteers...you have to be patient and never give up!!!

I totally recommend you to do it, you will feel better with yourself helping other people, you will learn a lot, is a unique experience that you should live.
