I would like to write about the social project that I am participating in Lithuania.
"Next Variant" - is an independent, voluntary acting non-governmental organization that seeks to encourage and assist Lithuanian youth to set out clear and long life goals, much faster develop their personal skills,discover and achieve their full potential.
We „Next Variant“ pupils were given a task to make some sort of social project whether to visit the children‘s foster home, grandparents‘ home or just to arrange a kind of street campaign. So it was up to us what to do.
In order to get to know each other more there were made up teams of 5 to 6 pupils from different lecturers‘ groups ( in „Next Variant“ there are many lecturers who have their own groups of pupils and lead lectures to them separately from others in different places). The team I belonged decided to visit grandparents‘ hospital. Our mission was just to go there and visit grandparents. Even though nurses are very helpful to those old people but I tend to think that however they feel lack of communication. So we got there, chose a ward and started communicating with them, sharing our ideas about life ans so on. Some of grandparents were very talkative and ready to answer any kind of questions we gave, some of them were absolutely quite, reluctant to talk.
There were different types of patients. Some of them let's say were quite strong, some weren't able to care themselves. Even there were wards where you could here various strange sounds, voices. Overall it was beneficial experience. You understand that aging is inevitable process and we all will become old. The problem is that sometimes the young people do not give thought to it. We can't look at those old people casually, we must help them. When I looked at those grandparents I discovered that they are wonderful people. All in all, I assume that we accomplished our task, cleared grandparents' life. However, it's so great to do good jobs!
I from my own experience note that the youth upbringing process, particularly more important aspects of personality formation, of a clear and long-term life goals exodus, creative thinking, leadership skills, etc. our government and educational ministry pays too little attention. So that's way there is an organization "Next Variant" which is prepared to help 14-19 young people discover their life goals and purposefully achieve them. These people educate honest, self-minded, confident, self-responsible, creative and socially young people. They also teach the necessary skills to select and apply them in practice. All trainings are for free so anybody can attend them.
I started attending those lectures last year when I heard introductory lecture at my school. Personally it gave me a lot of benefit. I became more confident, responsible for myself, started managing my time, learned how to set out personal goals, developed my oratorical skills. In addition to that I started dreaming, seeing all the people and the world around me. I discovered the power of positive thinking and found out what a wonderful life is. Now I have strong belief that there are no boundaries, it only depends on what limits you will define yourself.
In fact my role in this organization is not only as a pupil cos I am also a volunteer. I work in the media team. We publish monthly magazine about organization's life including news from teams, what events has happened, interesting articles and information about new members who joined our collective. It's so wonderful to be among young active people, you meet new people, participate in various events, always have an opportunity to express your ideas and opinions. Work in a team is the most exciting part of our activity. The benefit of this is not only that others motivate you, encourage you to seek your best potential but it also widens your horizon, you get some specific knowledge how to behave in various life situations cos volunteers get special trainings and that is a kind of privilege.
