This time for Africa.

Mäletad Sa seda Shakira laulu? Laulsid ehk isegi mõttes kaasa neid sõnu lugedes? MINA küll. See oli mõned aastad tagasi minu kalli õetütre lemmiklugu. Uskumatu, kuidas tollal kolmeaastane Lisandra teleka ees kekutades Shakirat matkis. Nüüd "kekutan" MINA siin ekraani ees. Kavatsen seda teha järgnevad kuud vähemalt korra nädalas. "Kekutada" siin oma kogemusega, mis on ahmitud vahetult Aafrikas, Ghanas, Kongo külas.

Täna on esimene esimene september viimase 24 aasta jooksul, kus ma ei saa osa aktusest ja koolialgusest. Ülekantud tähenduses aga ju siiski saan - juba mõne tunni pärast väljub lennuk uue kogemuse, elukooli suunas. Euroopast Aasiasse ja Aasiast Aafrikasse.

Ettevalmistused vast on suures osas tehtud, kott on valmis pandud, vaim veel mitte... küll jõuab! Suured tänud ja kummardused MTÜ Mondole ja Janikale, Riinale, Johannale, Dianale ettevalmistava info, koolituste ja organiseerimise eest. Oluline tugi on olnud ka eelmistest vabatahtlikest: IT-Silverist, Anust, Mardist. Viimase kahega olen kohtunud mitmeid kordi, mingis mõttes tunnengi end kui Anu ja Mardi Sipsik. Hoole ja headusega hoitud, parimate soovide ja nõuannetega teele saadetud. Sipsik oma sini-valge-triibulises kostüümis tänab südamest ja vupsab sümboolselt eesti lipu värvidesse, minu seljakoti külge!

Paljud on minult küsinud, kas kardan ka. Jään vastamisega iga kord ummikusse. Kui keegi ütleks mulle, mida ma täpsemalt kartma pean, saaksin otsustada. Aga kuna ma ei tea, mis mind täpselt ees ootab, siis ei hakka niisama kartma ka. Olen seadnud endale nii tööalased (Mondopoolsed) kui ka isiklikud (Liinapoolsed) eesmärgid. Tahan anda endast kõik hea ja võimaliku kongolastele, ent kindlasti mitte minna nn õpetama, kuidas tuleb teha, vaid pigem jagama oma erialast kogemust ja teadmisi.

Loodan, et kõik minu elus varasemalt õpitu, kogetu, nähtu ja tajutu on mind "küpsetanud" eesolevaks kogemuseks. Ja olen nüüd täpselt nii valmis kui parasjagu olen. Usaldan seda. Usaldan end. Usaldan Elu.

Teadmistepäeval, ülemaailmsel rahupäeval

Greetings from sunny Ghana!

Coming to Ghana has been on my mind for a long time. Interesting culture and beautiful traditions, scenic nature, friendly people and tasty local cuisine were some of the things that would pop up on Google every time I was researching the country. When an Estonian NGO called Mondo provided me with an opportunity to come to Ghana as a climate change advisor volunteer for Kongo Community Development Association (KOCDA) under the European Solidarity Corps program, I was so incredibly excited and began reading about the country even more. I wanted to be prepared for every possible situation so that I would know what to say and how to react and would not offend anyone or get overwhelmed after seeing something that may not be so common in my home country. Mondo had also arranged trainings about the country and it's culture and advised of the things that should and should not be done in the country, so I felt absolutely prepared for this exciting adventure. However even after preparing so...

Finding my way in a new country

During my first meeting with the board of my host organization, CoDA, someone asked about my experiences so far and whether my expectations were being met. From previous experiences, I have learned that it is best to approach projects like this with minimal expectations. Despite this, I can only say that the first month has exceeded my imagination. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming, making me feel at home in a new country almost immediately. The first month was all about adaptation and observation for me. I had to adjust to a new culture, new foods, and lots of new people. We also delved into the local culture and history, emphasizing the importance of introductions. Consequently, we spent the first two weeks traveling around Kongo and its surrounding areas, meeting key figures in the community.  Engaging in conversations with everyone I meet is something my Dutch self is not used to. At first, I struggled with the language, not only Nabt but also English. However, like everyt...

Until we meet again, Kongo

I cannot believe I am saying this, but my time in Kongo village and Ghana in general is almost over. When I first came here, I thought 3 months and a half was plenty of time, but I could not have been more wrong. These months have passed by so quickly that it feels like I came here a week ago. I guess this just proves how amazing my life has been here, because time flies by so quickly when you are engaged in activities that are interesting and fun for you. And as much as I miss my country and my loved ones, I would love to stay in the village longer. I want to start my final blog by saying a huge thanks to a Kongo based NGO CoDA, that has been hosting me all this time. Their dedication to make me feel great in this village was incredible. Since the day I arrived in the village they treated me like a family member and helped me in every step of the way. Taking me around for sightseeing, teaching me the local language, cooking me delicious vegetarian meals, greeting me with a smile eve...
