They all work for the organization F.J.T. ( <\/strong>Federatia Judeteana a Organizatiilor Nonguvernamentale de Tineret Brasov <\/strong>) which is an organization for support of youth initiatives. Once a week they take part in a meeting at the office, planning for upcoming events. I wanted to find out what makes them spend so much of their free-time doing unpaid work. In Sweden , where I come from, that is a very rare thing. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have asked them 4 questions each: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How long has you worked as a volunteer? <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. What made you start working as a volunteer? <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. In what activities have you been involved? <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. What are the good things working as volunteer? <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      1. Since July 2004<\/span> \\\"\\\"<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
      2. I did not have so much free-time activities and wanted to activate. I had heard about voluntary-work from my sister and saw it as a challenge. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      3. \u201cDiscover Germany \u201d, \u201cJoy Art Festival\u201d, Youth exchange in Turkey and a lot of other things outside F.J.T, for example \u201cSummer university\u201d, EVS-seminar and \u201cConnect with us\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Voluntary work has given me so much. It has helped me develop all my personality.I have become more social, tolerant and able to create my own values. It gives a lot of possibilities to discover yourself, the people around you and the entire world! Voluntary work has really changed my behavior, actually it has changed my life! <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        4. You learn interesting things which you don\u2019t get in touch with otherwise, it\u2019s fun, you meet new people and the work gives you good experiences for life. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
