...Quarantine according to Martina..


With this article I want to recommend some ideas on how to spend the quarantine.
It is not said that staying at home is only boring, certainly we young people are used to being out, traveling, going shopping and things like that. But these days can be useful to resume some passion, read, study and why not be able to recover that TV series that had left behind.
Today I will give you some tips to overcome moments of boredom and depression.

1. Make your environment comfortable and clean.
As a volunteer in Romania I don't have the opportunity to stay in my house, where I live is a smaller environment than I am used to. To make it more comfortable and familiar I tried to decorate the walls of the house with drawings and photos and arrange the furniture as I like.
I try to always keep clean because when the environment around me is confused, I can't feel comfortable.

 
I'm stupid, I know xD
2. Dedicate yourself to those passions you have overlooked.
In Palermo, my hometown, I enjoy singing and cosplaying. Cosplay is a performance art in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character. So to pass the time I tried to improvise some costumes to take some photos to update my Instagram page. I also tried to study some new songs to be included in my repertoire. 







3. Try to train your mind.
As a social worker I have an obligation to train continuously. I have used this time to study and read scientific articles. I also dedicated I few hour to improve my English and Romanian. 



4. Try to share time with the people you love.
At home I had the opportunity to spend more time with my partner and tried to keep in touch with my friends and family in Palermo. 


5. Spend some time on physical activity even in the company of your furry friend.
Here in Romania I met and adopted a really cute and adorable black cat. I tried to train him to go for walks together with the leash. 
It wasn't easy at first, but over time we both had benefits in this.



6. Help others as much as you can
In these days, with my association, we are engaged in the creation of masks, in the spread of food to the community and in the creation of videos for children. 

I hope this ideas will help you, bye!

Well, well, well.. I'm Martina and from October I'm a volunteer in Nevo Parudimos, this association is located in Resita, Romania. Three month are already passed, but just now I feel the importance to give some feedback to my self and why not also to some other people that will be interested to my new experience here. But now I will introduce little bit my self, yes, for sure you will say "oh this is the boring part" but reader sometimes is nice to remember who we are. Okay, let's start. I'm Martina, I'm Italian and I'm 25 years old. I have master degree in social service and social policies.   What brought me here?   Two main reasons brought me here, the first I want to get more experience in the social field before be involved in a work and the second love (but this is another story). After this...it's time to tell you about my first months here. When I arrived here wasn't for me a new place, I

...Thinking about the past days...

Hi readers. To bring some positivity I want to think back to the past days and the beautiful activities carried out with my children and other volunteers. At the beginning of my volunteering I was not sure how to use my talent here, I am a reserved and shy person and sometimes these characteristics can be an impediment for many things. After some time I found my way of carrying out activities and relating mainly to a third language: Romanian. Little by little the relationships with the children intensified, especially with the children of the orphanage and I found more and more interesting methods and activities. I have created many activities aimed at road education, science, the English language and emotions. The teachers and other volunteers, in particular Ariane, supported me in improving my activities more and more. With the arrival of new volunteers, it was easier for me to have a betterelationship with the group.  There were really a
