3. Increase the confidence and spirit of initiative of the 12 volunteers involved in this project
4. Increase the degree of interaction between the young people in the placement centers in Resita and the other young people from the city
5. Improve the quality of educational and leisure services offered to young people from the placement centers in Resita

I am a French student in a packaging engineering school. I am doing a gap year, and I have chosen to do a volunteering in Romania with the association Nevo Parudimos. I love sports, principally team sports like basketball. I also like manual activities and natural environment. My friends say of me that I am a happy person

Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Portik Cristina-Daniela, I’m 20 years old and I am a student at the Faculty of Economics and Business Management at Babeș-Bolyai University in Reșița studying accounting and management informatics. I graduated from the Mathias Hammer High School in Anina. During high school I was the main goalkeeper in the high school handball team for 3 years. After finishing high school, I continued my studies and I got a post-secondary degree in the qualification of CNC Operator.
Time passed quite quickly, and during the years I tried to find the answers to a few personal questions, answers meant to quench my thirst for the right path. Time passed and passed, and the thirst for search increased… After many and various internal conflicts between me and myself, I came to a simple conclusion. This conclusion consists in the fact that regardless of the context, be it a job or the faculty itself, I can manage no matter how complicated it would be, and all I have to do in the first step as an individual is to start and to never give up without trying no matter how small the effect is. Starting from this theory, I can say that I follow the flow of activities in the order in which they came towards me under the influence of an unconscious impulse of an action to be taken regardless of the nature of the obstacles. I think it’s already clear that writing is an involuntary passion for me… no matter how much I tried to drive it away from me, no matter how much I forced myself to ignore it, no matter how much I tried to kill it from the root of the essence of my existence; it was a failed mission… Well, everything is already problematic, having and not having places to hide, I slowly try to find myself in foreign languages countless times, trying to solve unresolved errors jumping through the culture of lifetimes … Switching switch I have many passions, however, that I am not a Master in them all…
Excuse me, but I’m going to retreat into the shadows now in order to observe the activities around me. Have a nice day.
