One week left and we are almost finished. In this week all of the center’s big tasks were accomplished such as:

Painting the ceiling, fixing up the corners, painting the main walls, building furniture, fixing up the garden and putting a new door.

The process of finishing these tasks required many hours of hard work and devotion.  We recognize the fact that we are part of a wave of change. The things we have done and the challenges we have faced, we have tried to overcome in the best way possible.

This is a picture from the begining of the week with our not yet finished corners and with the donations we had. 

Right now, we are more focused than ever. Our goal remains the same but our expectations have risen higher as we get closer to that goal. 

We are committed to seeing the change we thought about at the beginning become a reality and we were the ones who made that change happen.

Last week’s postponed lemonade party happened this Saturday. 

We had a gathering with the community to show them our progress. Not many people showed up but the ones who did were really interested in our work. 

This Monday we also have the International Youth Day Conference. This conference will give us a chance to talk about our work and share our experiences with others somethıng that we are really excited about.

Last week was very difficult. We had a very hard job. We fixed the corners and the walls and we painted them. We received a lot of donations like wood and renovated them. I think last week was the most productive week we have had because we tried hard and finally saw the results of our work. I hope that we can finish it in time.

I am the romanian girl from Timiteam who is responsible for the community engagement actions. Sometimes I don`t like to do this because we need to walk in the sun for 40-50 minutes but at other times I feel like I am the most blessed girl in the world. 

I always have the most amazing people in my community engagement team and I am so thankful for that. When I am in a bad mood to do community engagement, citizens show me why it`s so important to talk with each other, to connect with other people , to know their story and to get closer with them.

 Their smile makes me so happy and confident, it`s my source of motivation and inspiration. Also, I found out that Romania has beautiful people and youngsters who believe that Romania is still their dream country.

I think this week was the hardest week because we had to basically finish everything. Despite the fact that it was really hard, I really liked it. This week made me a more creative person. During this week I didn’t like that we had a lot of pressure because of the time and we had lack of materials.

For me, the last days in our youth center were the most creative and productive from the whole project until now. We spent a lot of time creating furnitures, painting and cleaning. We did a great job and we had a strong teamwork. I can’t wait to see the final result of our lovely youth centre.
