Dear YEE friends,

Time to say goodbye :) Or just see you soon!

I still remember the day when I arrived to YEE office – it was sunny and I didn't know what to expect – I had never lived at the ecological farm before. My room turned out to be just next to YEE office and it was a beginning of me being close to YEE for the next years.
I loved the place and I still have the same feeling of peace when I arrive here every day. I greet people, children are running around, flowers growing and our office cat is waiting for some cuddles.
So I stayed here for...5 years! Exactly five years!

During this time I did my European Voluntary Service, then I became EVS coordinator and then Main Coordinator. Last years you have received from me many emails concerning projects, publications and EVS volunteers. It was challenging to have so many tasks but also great cause I like to jump from task to task – from creative designs to supporting volunteers' learning, from writing articles to fundraising, from accounting to active projects or local actions. I tried to make a small summary and count my projects but it's hard – 5 years it's a lot of time. During these 5 years I created: around 25 newsletters, around 16 booklets and magazines, around 12 training courses and youth exchanges and I helped with many other projects, I fundraised thousands of Euros for YEE, hosted 8 EVS volunteers in YEE office and sent 2 volunteers abroad, coorganised 5 Annual Meetings...the list is long :)

I also met many friends, learnt so many things that I wouldn't learn anywhere else, travelled, worked with at least 10 various teams in YEE office and more than 20 international teams for projects, discovered how to face challenging situations, how team work is important, what I'm good at and that NGO world is my world.

This year I will celebrate 30 years, just like YEE! For both of us it's time of big changes. For me it's time for family plans and for YEE I hope time to look back at long and great past and choose a new path to activate young people to protect the environment. I won't be able to celebrate with you 30 years of YEE during the Annual Meeting but I will send you a video.

And I hope it's not a good bye. It's just a short break. I hope to see many of you next years during YEE projects – I hope to come back as a trainer, coordinator, facilitator. I will be around!

I am finishing my work on 3rd of July so if you still have some questions, write to well known email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
