A feed-back from a mother of one student regarding the mobility in Bulgaria
I was delighted by the news of the project ”Let's save the water as a natural resource” for how much the knowledge baggage of the participating children would be enriched, for the unique experience, personal development and socialization, visiting new places, for bonding with new friends and for exercising English.
I was extremely pleased that my son was fascinated by the idea of going to Varna and that he wanted to go there as soon as possible. I was thrilled that he would be living with another family, with another child.I was wandering if he would integrate and if he would be okay.
Wonderful was the news when he told me how well received he was, with many beautiful surprises and walks. He was integrated into the family as a part of it, and as the best friend. Not only that he ate well, but his favorite food was cooked in the family. This reminded me of the information my son filled out about him and that it was taken into account entirely, not just by the family, but also in choosing the right family.
I am extremely grateful to all those involved in the project, both those in Bulgaria and those in Romania. I would like to thank to our Deputy Director- the project coordinator, but also to the primary school teacher Brăcăcel Nicoleta, who was like a mother and a friend to our children.
I want to especially thank the "mirror" family, who received a special place in my heart. My son has made a very good friend with whom I hope we have the opportunity to meet again.
I am convinced that the experience gained through this project has positively changed children, that it has broadened their horizons and that it will be useful in the future. For this reason, such projects should always be as many as possible, to involve as many children as possible.
