16/03/23 📆 Hello, it’s Tim and I take control of the Vitality blog this week! Last week, a ghost from the past popped up: our favorite ex-coordinator Flavio! For those who don’t know Flavio (shame on you!), he was our first coordinator with Silvia from March to June 2022. We missed all the positive vibes that he spread around him and we were happy to see him after so much time. A ghost from the past that appeared at the right time for Mia and Raul's last week of volunteering

07/03/23 📆 This season feels a little bit strange. As the weather transforms from winter to spring, the time of the first goodbyes approaches faster and faster. So the time for new arrivals that will happen soon. I have mixed feelings about this, as I am feeling that I am about to step out of a door but at the same time I want to stay behind with all that has happened the last 11 months for me... In any case, I will not keep the sentimental tone for more time. I will guide y

The second part of the Vitality Closing is here! As you already know, Veso left Bergolo one month ago to go for new adventures! He went back to Bulgaria and share about his volunteering experience with the volunteers of his sending organization Smokinya Foundation. Here is the video he made as a testimonial of his experience. Thank you Veso for all the effort and input you brought into Vitality during those months. We already miss you. We wish you all the best!

Welcome to the closing of Vitality 2020 - Part 1! In the last 6 months, we have been showing you where we have been, what we have done, our weekends, etc. But we thought it was time to summarize all our learnings in one infographic and a detailed PDF file with a more detailed information. Looking at the infographic we are really proud of all the things we done and built since we came here. Our dear Veso finished his volunteering a few days ago. He has been an amazing voluntee

We were on a hunt for night photos of Chiesa Romanica "San Sebastiano" here in Bergolo. The lights during the night make this place look so mystical and often described by the nice man who is the mayor of the village Mario, as a romantic. The photos were used for the creation of a Christmas card, which is going to be send to the other municipalities with nice wishes.

The previous week we welcomed officially the winter in Bergolo. So during the weekend, we decided to explore the area around once again, this time in totally new conditions. The 40 centimeters of snow created a whole new world for us!

On Wednesday of the past two weeks we have been doing some tasks for Bergolo. We have scratched and painted a door from the hostel. When we were scratching the old paint in order to paint on top, we ended up full of small pieces of paint everywhere! It felt like the snow arrived to Bergolo. You can check the photos below with the before and after!

Hello dear readers, we have a big new to announce, we have the video of "Move to Move on!". Veso has been working really hard to make it, you can see it in the final result. We hope you enjoy it as much as us, and so you can feel the magic moments we lived in the training course. What was this training about? Move to Move on! was a training course that brought together 32 youth workers to practice and crate activities that support young people in reconnecting and rediscoverin

The last week we made a sofa with pallets for our house. We decided to make a video of the process to show it to all of you. First, we sand the pallets with sand paper. Second, we designed the sofa. Third, we measured the pieces and cut them. Fourth, we put the screws and united the pieces of wood. And last but not least, we painted the sofa. This is the beautiful result, enjoy!
