VOLUNTEER
In our past newsletters, we told that we had our wonderful volunteer Gillian Roncarelli. We are greatful to have her here with us and she had succeessfully completed her three months volunteer service in NECO. She was very satisfied with her stay here in NECO and wanted to still support NECO, now that she had already been back to England.
During her stay, she did an outstanding job as she raised funds for the kids for purchasing dance shoes, materials like paint, bed sheets, football shoes, mirrors, waterproof mattress covers as well as for water-park. Also she brought her extraordinary friends from different countries so that our kids were able to benefit from their presence. Thank you so much for the efforts you did for these distinguished and enthusiastic children who benefited greatly from your services.
In addition, she successfully taught dance classes for the kids. Hope they will follow her teaching style and dance in the future. She perfectly completed the painting project, that now is showcased at the NECO 's compound esp. the walls seems so beautiful. You cannot help but feel refreshed after seeing those arts.
She also announced and distributed the kids with her medals in different tiles in the dance. She's so motivating role model for the kids. Above picture is the five kids that had been praised by her.
We are also grateful to the contributors and the supporters who helped complete the interest and jobs of the Gillian.
Also like to say that we have had so many volunteers from all over the world. We are always very happy to welcome a new volunteer to the NECO family, because every single person brings in new ideas, perceptions and attitudes. As a result of the cultural and personal exchanges, that naturally takes place, the quality of life for the kids is improving.
