EVS | EVS in Plichtów
During the next months, Natolin will be my home and Plichtów my workplace.
Plichtów and Natolin are neighbor villages and belong to the Nowosolna district.
Although they are different villages, they are very close to each other and it is possible to make the way home to work in just a few minutes.
Plichtów is about 13 km from Lódź, the third largest city in Poland.

| Plichtów Cultural and Ecological Community Center |
"Discover your neighborhood, discover yourself" is the name of the project that I joined, along with João at the Plichtów Cultural and Ecological Community Center.
The center is very close to the accommodation house so we usually do that distance by walk, although we have the option to do it by bus.
At the Community Center, there's a lot of activities organized for the entire community, from English classes for children and seniors, Latin dances, tai-chi, yoga, ceramics classes, painting ...
Now, with my contribution and João, the Center can add Portuguese classes to that list.
The center is really cozy and we have the privilege of working with people very competent and dedicated and always attentive to our possible difficulties and their resolutions.
Although not all spoke English, they all welcomed us with much sympathy and with open arms.

| João and Ilona |
We are living on the second floor of one of the employees of the Center house, where we were very well received by everyone, Tofik (the family dog) didn't welcome us so warmly but I think we are on a good way to create a relationship based on affection, confidence and dog treats.
It is not always easy to communicate because we do not speak (yet) Polish and they do not speak English, but nothing that is not solved with patience, willpower, and mimics.
Who said being away from home had to be super difficult?
