Well hello! What's coming next?

We are at the stage of our Here we go again! project that couple of weeks ago volunteers from Lahti, Jonna and Pauliina arrived back home from Slovenia :) Last week they had their return training with their mentors. Welcome back!

Also the last volunteers are coming to Lahti this week on friday evening, two youngsters from Ireland! One of them is going to work in Sisustamo, upholstering furniture. The other volunteer will be working in Reppupaja (environment workshop), they are currently working in Naumi, Lahti city Youth Services camping site.

We wanted to say hi to the coming volunteers, so let me introduce Sisustamo the upholstering section and Reppupaja for you!

Sisustamo says Hi!

Reppupaja says Hi! from Naumi to the volunteers joining them!

We all are so excited to meet the boys! We all wish you good travelling and we will meet on Monday when you have your on arrival training :)

And what is happening before the volunteer come here?

We are having the same attitude indicator with our younsters in Reppupaja and Sisustamo. If you don't remember what this indicator is, here it is in a nutshell: we will discuss about attitudes, prejudices and how do the volunteers see Finland and Lahti when they come here for the firts time. We will have a second meeting after the volunteers have returned back home to give them an opportunity to tell and talk about what they have learned from internationalism and possible tell if have they learned something about themselves!

And of course we are preparing an apartment for them etc. 

Let's wait that the boys will do their introduction to us :) SEE YA!
