On May 21, we met and interviewed the head of the Centre Il Formicaio, the Social Centre for Children
where some of us have done voluntary work in
recent months. Davide, the manager,
told us first of all how the center works, what are the opening hours,
the activities that take place every day.
In the working group of the Centre are many volunteers,
some our age, some older, all united by the fact that they work together and do something for the children. It 'was a very
interesting meeting, some of us have expressed their willingness to volunteer
one afternoon a week.
On
May 26, a week after our meeting
with David, we returned to Formicaio
to interview Roberta, a girl not much bigger than us serving volunteer at
the center, one day a week. She
told us about her experience, which lasts for two years now. Being with the kids, she says, is tiring but very fun. With them you do many things: you go to take them to school, playing,
talking, doing homework, and
various laboratories ... "Children
have a special energy, are joyful,"
she tells us, "very often when you're with them you
forget the thoughts and problems
"...
