Non-verbal communication can connect more than you would expect


I am starting to believe that the time difference between Portugal and Romania is not only add or subtract 2 hours but changing the length of one hour, one day or the 3 months since I am here. Maybe it wasn’t my best rational conclusion, but it was the one I found to explain how the time is speeding in Baia Mare.  Updating you, the activities in the schools Bicaz and Oarta de Sus are going well, and the children are still very happy to see us. I think that the personalize handshake, inside jokes and the run to the door demonstrates that even in a sometimes-non-verbal communication you can connect more than you would expect.

 In the meantime, we started working in High School, were the communication is facilitated by the English knowledge and we have been giving the opportunity to plan and execute our own activities. It is pleasant seeing how students want us to go back and feel how much they like to have us there.   At this moment, when our role as volunteers is established and defined, the involvement also in all the different events, collaborated projects and workshops make this experience really enjoyable. I think that’s for now so, see you next time! Please, let me know if you find a more suitable explanation for the passage of time.
