SOPHIE
Dear All,
Welcome to your EVS experience! My name is Sophie, I am 21 and I am a new volunteer here in Greece. I am originally from England and decided to come to Greece to gain experience in the area of mental health as I have just finished my degree in psychology. Being on EVS in a different country can be very stressful as it is the first time away from home for many people, I think I have adapted to it quite well but everyone has their up days and their down ones. Luckily there is a large support network made up of EDRA employees, as well as my other flatmates who are great!!!
When I first got here and saw the kind of work I would be doing, it was a bit shocking and I did have a couple of second thoughts about what I was doing here! Luckily they have passed and I now love what I am doing! The language differences are quite difficult to overcome, but the best form of communication is body language anyway so really there’s not that much of a problem.
All-in-all, this is a really good project and you should seriously consider applying for it!!! All the best and hopefully I’ll see you soon!!!

Expertations of on EVS vulenteer:
Hello my name is Carolien and I’m from the Netherlands in Rotterdam. So far I like Athens really much and I think the six mont’s that I stay here will be great!
I’m now almost 3 weeks in Athens. Before I came I had some expectations. I choose for a project in mental-health because as a nurse I don’t have so much experience in this field.
I expect that in this six monts I can learn a lot:
- How the Greek health system works.
- How is the Greek culture.
- Learn from the different nationalities that I meet (flatmates).
- Learn how to work with mental-health disabilities.
Bye, bye
Greetings Carolien
