So it goes

HOWARD AMOS, 29 YEARS OLD, PSKOV REGION

Organization: Camp of the equal opportunity center “Up” for orphans from correctional orphanages

In my native England, volunteering, like charity, is perceived as something natural - many people do it there. I was always told - both at home and at school - that I received a lot from life, so at some point I need to start giving back. That I am not getting an education just to make money.

I studied Russian at the university and somehow received a mailing with an invitation to go to a volunteer camp in Russia. I wanted to practice the language and at the same time start doing something useful, and without thinking twice I got ready. The camp was in the Pskov region, next to a village where there is a boarding school for children with special needs. Volunteers live in the camp for a month and conduct educational activities with children every day.

Before that, I was in Russia once - in St. Petersburg. On my first visit to the camp, I didn’t know Russian well, and it wasn’t easy for me. I remember how in the first lesson I was so confused that the students themselves had to explain to me what to do and show me some games. Now I’m going to the camp for the fifth time - already as a coordinator.

The children don’t really understand that I’m a foreigner. It doesn’t really matter to them where you’re from - they call all volunteers “Muscovites.” Of course, I’m talking about England, but it’s very difficult for them to understand what it is: most of them have never been anywhere except the Pskov region. Therefore, it seems to them that I simply speak Russian poorly. As, in fact, are some of them.

The main point of the classes is to keep the children interested all the time. This is difficult because their attention switches very quickly and they get tired faster than other children. But this does not necessarily mean that they do not know or cannot do something. You just have to constantly move, offer them something new. It’s easier for Russian-speaking volunteers - they don’t even always have to prepare classes in advance. They can just come and chat with the children. Foreigners simply do not have enough vocabulary.

It’s also hard when you start to get attached to children. Of course, you begin to love some children more than others, but I understand that communicating with someone too closely is wrong. There are volunteers who adopt children or take them into foster care. But I couldn’t do that, so I try to communicate with children openly and honestly, but keep my distance.

Many people think that working with children with special needs is difficult, but it seems to me that in reality these people have never really communicated with such children. Of course, at first such communication is scary. But you get used to it very quickly and begin to understand that, in general, these are the same ordinary children. Almost all the volunteers who came for the first time say that our children could study together with ordinary children and in general can do much more than they think. They are simply lost in this system: first they live in orphanages, and then they are transferred to adult boarding schools - that’s basically all.

Due to the fact that they spent their entire lives in a boarding school, children do not know well how to express their emotions and communicate with people. One summer, another volunteer from England came to us - a tall boy with long beautiful hair. And the older girls who liked him couldn’t think of anything better than to approach him from behind at a disco, jump up and grab him by the hair. Other children may even lightly hit or pinch to express sympathy.

Of course, they are also poorly adapted to independent living. Therefore, we try to instill in them important social skills. In our camp, for example, we have a store day. Children receive stamps or some other pieces of paper, replacement money, we open small stands where toys or books are sold, and children learn to make purchases themselves.

At first, many things in Russian boarding schools come as a shock. Some children end up there not because of any severe developmental disabilities, but as a punishment - simply because they behaved badly in another orphanage. Or that some educators control groups through stronger children: they can beat the weaker ones if they do something wrong, and the educator no longer has to do this.

The first time it causes protest, but when you work with a boarding school for a long time, you get used to it. You don’t approve of this, but you understand why this happens, why the system is structured this way. I can only intervene as a last resort. I don’t think that I, a person who comes and goes, and, moreover, has the opportunity to go to another country, can say anything to educators who have been working with these children for many years. I simply don't have that right.

Statements about volunteering by city competition participants

"Volunteer of the Year 2012"

Volunteering is a great prospect for developing one’s social practices for a person with an active lifestyle. A wonderful opportunity to help society and develop your own creative potential!

Vera Zhdankina,

In my volunteer activities, it is difficult for me to single out one most significant event. Each of them helped me realize and then become convinced that volunteerism is one of the most important areas of social development. And in our country it requires special support from the younger generation.

Volunteering for me has become a kind of testing ground for the realization of untapped potential. Through this activity, I discovered my leadership qualities, became an organizer of significant events, a developer of social projects and their coordinator.

Participation in events at the regional, interregional, all-Russian and international level allowed me to track my personal growth, develop public speaking skills, advance in the field of social design, and the exchange of experience among volunteer organizations is also an important component for me as a participant.

Katya Didichenko, volunteer of the center for active youth "Vector of Good" DDYUT

For me, volunteering is an unusual way of self-realization. I’ve tried a lot of interesting things in my life, but I have to be passionate about it. Dancing and fine arts are a matter of technology; other hobbies may not be available to me. Anyone can become a volunteer, as long as they have the desire. Volunteers are people with a pure heart who help those in need for free, and therefore volunteering is a selfless matter. Anyone can become a volunteer, regardless of position, figure, age, etc., and this is what I value most about volunteering. People can communicate as equals while helping others, so volunteering has a special place in my life.

Nastya Yankova, volunteer of the center for active youth "Vector of Good" DDYUT

For me, volunteering is not a forced action, it is already a norm of life. This is also a way to find new friends, an opportunity to be needed by someone. After all, this is a small happiness.

Anna Afanasyeva, volunteer of the center for active youth "Vector of Good" DDYUT

Volunteering for me is a way to help people, to help myself, volunteering lays a huge spiritual foundation, teaches you to be persistent, tolerant and creative. It helps to develop a DESIRE to help people, not because it is necessary, but because I want to help. Volunteering helps us to find the person within ourselves, not to be a gray mass incapable of self-development, but to become a Person, with a capital P, a person about whom people say good things. You don’t have to be a volunteer to have this spirit of volunteerism, you just need to help people, give them warmth and light, guide them where they cannot go on their own.

Daniil Zemskov, volunteer of the center for active youth "Vector of Good" DDYUT

Volunteering for me is helping people who need our help. Help animals. Help veterans and the entire society without asking for money or any gifts or prizes.

Vasilina Verkhovina,

VOLUNTEERING is a way to: build social relationships; practice your religious and moral principles; gain new skills; find support and friends; feel capable of accomplishing something; feel good.

Svetlakova Nastya,

Volunteering for me is a vibrant life, a sea of ​​emotions, learning what is not taught in schools and universities; experience - which you will not get in any job; the desire to jump above yourself - which you only get when you really really want something. If you want, you can “color” the whole world, and no one can stop you.

Lobov Ivan, Representative of the Children's City Parliament for the Padunsky District

Volunteering is a slice of life. Because I remain caring about the world and people around me, I get a lot of positive emotions, new acquaintances, and an interesting life. And of course, the main thing is the smiles of children and their parents, sincere and cheerful - they replace all rewards, even the most valuable ones...

Katatova Ekaterina, Representative of the Children's City Parliament for the Padunsky District

"Don't ask a country what it can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

J. Kennedy, US President

Volunteering is a part of my life, a dream of helping other people and attracting others to do good without any self-interest. I want good to triumph in the world.

Andrey Churkin,

Volunteering is helping people, doing good, participating in events in an interesting way, communicating with all people.

Nikolay Strenin, volunteer of the volunteer detachment “Good Hands”, PU No. 27

Volunteering is self-development and self-education for me. Fate throws you everywhere, but you have to emerge victorious. It is not your external data that is valuable, but your internal qualities, such as the ability to show ingenuity, endurance, and tolerance, depending on the situation.

Stepan Zinnurov Strenin, volunteer of the “Good Hands” volunteer squad of Vocational School No. 27

Volunteering for me is helping people who need our help. Help animals. Help veterans and the entire society without asking for money or any gifts or prizes.

Vasilina Verkhovina, volunteer of the volunteer movement "Sunflower" MBOU "Secondary School No. 45".

Friends!

In December 2017, at the award ceremony for the annual All-Russian Volunteer of Russia Award, President Vladimir Putin announced that 2018 will be dedicated to the volunteer movement in Russia. Millions of people volunteer to do good. They are called volunteers or volunteers, and they are always exactly where they are really needed. Today, volunteer work is practically unlimited - neither by age, nor by profession (if it does not require special skills). Both teenagers and those over 60 participate in it. Moreover, the volunteer movement of the older generation is so widespread that its participants have a special name - “silver volunteers.” This is a very different job. Someone removes garbage from the shore of the lake, someone helps a young man who left an orphanage and does not know what to do next with his life get back on his feet, and someone helps to look for a person lost in the forest. As Anna Kuznetsova, Commissioner for Children’s Rights under the President of the Russian Federation, reported, now in Russia, “according to various sources, from 17 to 26 percent of the country’s citizens are already involved in volunteer activities, and even more are ready to unite for good deeds - from 47 to 58 percent.” . There are 20 volunteer organizations in the Tula region, two of them in Tula.

Pushkin, etc. This center was created for caring people who have a burning desire to be volunteers, to help others, despite their advantages and disadvantages, as well as to organize and conduct socially significant events of various levels and directions!

The largest projects:

Volunteer school “Make Dreams.” The main task of the Volunteer School is to create an effective system for training volunteers; these are interesting and useful trainings on personal growth and team building, volunteer motivation and development of leadership qualities.

"Memory of our hearts." The project is aimed at instilling a sense of citizenship and patriotism among Tula residents, as well as preserving the memory of the feat of our Great Warriors in the Great Patriotic War.
