laa fibé! salut! ciao!
I arrived at ouaga just a week ago. now I can understand the reson why who came here in Africa for first time can t spend a long time without come back again. It s a flashing experience; the landscape, the colours are very different from ours. for sure I will come back in Italy more rich as I ever thought. from the 1st moment I had a great welcome from my tutor Yasmina, Ablaissé, David, Sandrina, Norbert and all burkinabé I met. I have a strong feeling that here cultural differences are considerated important resources, not a problem. This is a very very important thing, an important teaching. People who works at Dunia la vie are very nice and helpful; this is the reason why it's not so much hard to be far from family and friends. Here cultural exchange are welcome, and I think I' m gonna learn a lot of great things from all of them. First days I had to face a bit of pratical difficult to adjust in in a new place. As normal there are some differences between us and burkinabé, but less than I expected. This is the first prejudice that we broke down:)
Now I'm gonna learn how to speak mooré, so I say you again Laa fibé!
I give your more news and maybe some photos next days.
A bientot!!!

Welcome to the EuroAfrican voluntary service 2010!

Dear volunteers,

I wish you to enjoy this space of sharing, exchange, discussion, learning and fun. It will be a blog where you are invited to share the experiences of your project, stories in different languages, images of colours, tastes and smells you discover, issues you like to discuss among you or with other interested people in the world.
It is a space for you but, first of all, it will be created by you!
Also the actual structure is just provisional, so we invite you to propose changes and decide together how you want to shape your common space.

I wish you a rich, fruitful and unique experience.
And let's keep in touch :)

Davide Tonon
Coordinator of the EuroAfrican Voluntary Service project
