Pildid :)

Elasin peaaegu 9 kuud Moldova pealinnas Chisinaus. Minu elu-muutev reis sai alguse 5jaan08. Keset ülikooliõpinguid võtsin vastu minu tuttavaid shokeeriva otsuse – minna Moldovasse EVSiks.

Minu tööks oli tegeleda lastega naiste varjupaigas. Projekt oli hea, kuid kuna oli võimatu planeerida kasvõi järgmist päeva(laste arv oli päevade lõikes väga erinev), siis tihtipeale mul tööd üldse polnudki. Seda raskem oli mul oma päevi planeerida, kuna mulle meeldib olla aktiivne ning kaasatud mitmetesse tegevustesse. Tööl tegelesin lastega – õpetasin neile näiteks inglise keelt, joonistasime, tantsisime, hoidsin neid kui vanematel oli muud tegemist jne. Kuna seal varjupaigas töötajad inglise keelt ei rääkinud, siis oli mul alguses väga raske, sest vene keelt räägin ma halvasti.

Moldovast ei teadnud ma enne reisi oluliselt midagi – ainult niipalju kui ma Euroopa vaesema riigi kohta internetist leidsin. Teadsin, et riigis on olukord arvatavasti hullem kui Eestis, kuid samas on võrreldes Eestiga sarnasusi– minevikus olid ju mõlemad riigid NSVLiidus.

Moldovas õppisin eelkõige seda, et pole oluline missugusest riigist on inimesed, kõigil meil on samad mured ja probleemid ning omad arusaamad. Olime tihtipeale sunnitud ennast teistele inimestele kehakeelega arusaadavaks tegema, kuna kohalikku keelt alguses absoluutselt ei rääkinud.
Moldova oli…vaene! Kuid maapiirkondades sõbralik. Inimesed olid meeldivalt üllatunud kui kuulsid meid kohalikku keelt purssimas. Maal elasid inimesed tihtipeale ainult enda aias kasvatatud maisist vms ning selle müügist saadus vähese rahaga. Pealinnas olid hinnad enam-vähem samad mis Eestis, kuid palka saadi seal kordades vähem.

Mulle meenub üsna tihti üks vahejuhtum noormehega, kellega ma vahepeal korterit jagasin. Ta oli kohalik 25aastane noormees(jurist). Noormees oli uslik(nagu enamik moldovlasi). Ühel õhtul küsis ta minult et mida ma usun. Mina ei saanud küsimusest aru, ja küsisin vastu et mismõttes mida ma usun, et olen mitte-uslik. Tema siis seletab, et mida ma arva kuidas inimesed siia maailma said..ning lisas väga irooniliselt, et kas ahvidest??? (ise naeris). Vastasin, et midagi evolutsioonilist usun ma küll. Selle peale mõtles ta tükk aega ning ütles „But it is so stupid! How can you believe something so stupid?!“ (aga see on ju nii loll mõte! Kuidas sa saad midagi nii rumalat uskuda?!). Siis hakkas ta seletama, et ei ole ju võimalik et kunagi oli ahv aga nüüd on sellest ahvist saanud inimene. Mina siis seletasin(ise muiates), et kunagi oli üks ahv kellel oli 2 järglast..üks on siiani ahv, aga teisest arenes inimene jne. Tema jäi aga surmtõsiseks ja enesekindlaks, et see mida mina usun on loll!!!
See on väike tõestus, et moldovlased on tihtipeale mitte väga tolerantsed – ainult see mida nemad usuvad on õige ning teiste inimeste arvamust ka lihtsalt ei aktsepteeritud.

Tagantjärele mõeldes tundub minu Moldovasse reisimine eneselegi uskumatu. Hoolimata vanemate ja sõprade-tuttavate üllatusest ning arusaamast, nagu läheksin ma elama mitte tsivilisatsiooni, otsustasin ma sinna minna.
Tol hetkel tundus see olevat suur samm – ja oligi, sest mul polnud aimugi kas ja kui palju mu elus midagi läbi selle kogemuse muutub. Jätta oma töö, suhe, pere, sõbrad-tuttavad ning salamisi loota, et tagasi tulles oleks need kõik uuesti mu elus tagasi.
Minu kuud Moldovas möödusid ennast-leidvalt. Kuigi mul oli seal töö ning mitmeid sõpru(nii teised vabatahtlikud kui ka moldovlased), siis ometi tundsin puudust aktiivsetest tegevustest – seal oli mul palju vaba aega ning seda ju minu eest ei planeeritud ning ka mul endal oli seda raske teha. Olles tagasi Eestis tajusin kui väga vajan ma igapäeva-elu põnevust – läksin oma endisesse kooli – Maaülikooli tagasi, kuid vahetasin eriala. Ja olen siiani väga rahul – minust saab üldjoontes ehitusinsener. Läksin ka tagasi rahvatanstu tantsima ning ka tööl pean kooli kõrvalt käima.
Usun, et Moldovas käimata oleksid teatud väärtused mitte nii olulised kui nad seda praegu on!
Aitäh Moldova selle kogemuse eest!

Next training course is over...

Next training course is over..new situations, new people, new feelings!

This time topic was M3(Marketing, Management, Money). Super!






















I feel myself very motivated, and I have a lot of ideas what to do in Estonia!


Yes...I have last weeks here in Moldova

Thats why I went with 2 dutch guys to Iasi, one city in Romania. We went there right after our training course, and we had so nice time there - altough the city is only around 170 km from Chisinau, it took us 5 hours to go there - roads are impossible here, and it took us 2 hours to pass the border. As we went there by big bus, then they searched this bus, and they checked all luggages and so on.
When we came bach, we took little minibus, and in 3 hours we were back here!
Unfortunately right now I do not have pictures about that fantastic trip, but as soon as dutch people will send them, I will add them here also!

Can I move to The Netherlands? ;)

Training course 'Maximizing volunteering' 1.-07.08.08, Costest, Moldova

One training course is over again...


And I try to describe littlebit what we were doing.

The topic was ''Maximizing volunteering'', and participants were from 13 different countries - Moldova, Estonia, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, The Netherlands, Italy, Latvia, Belarus...

There were 23 participants, 6 boys and 17 girls and location was Costest, around 25 km from Chisinau. People were very nice...and I already miss them :(






All this week something happened with me. For example:


On monday we visited Milestii Mici(winecellar) again. Now I have my personal King! :)

Me and my King - Julien :)

Julien is very nice young men from France, who is making EVS(voluntary service) in Netherlands :)





After coming out on the celler we enjoyed taking pictures and so on. I went to the toilet..and when I came out, the buss and the car were gone :) Ofcourse I didn't have mobile, money...nothing! So I decided to walk, I knew that our camp is only few kilometres from winecellar. So I started to walk..in few minutes I did't know what direction should I go...so I asked one boy..and he said also that it is around 10 km . It was 19 in the evening, so I tought, that 5 hours, so at 21 I will be in my camp. So I was walking....and during this 30 min walk I found nuts, what were not ready to eat..I tought I am going to die....but apples what I was stealing they were very good!....But myvery intresting walk ended very soon....because the driver who took us in the cellar recognized me :D And he took me in his car and called to my organization! So I was sitting with driver..he bought me ice cream :) And after 15 minutes arriver 4 people, Natasha, Manrina(my org in Moldova) and Silviu and Julien(from Netherlands) :) So after that everything was fine :) They took care of me!

But altough there were many not good things happening with me..still it was very great girl :) I was called coffe-break-girl :) And we hope to realize some projects in the future!
We had national evening and from Estonia there was KAMA, VERIKAKK, VANA TALLINN...

We teached... ''podral maja metsa sees...'' with movements :) they really enjoyed that!












Also we teached them one dance..''2 sammu sissepoole, 2 sammu valjapoole...''

We had a lot of fun there! Sun was shining all the time and we were eating outside!

Thank you all!

Right now my head in empty..one week thinking and organizing things...now I am in my new flat! And you know....I have cat now :)

Ok....but please people from Estonia...if you know where I could live and work in Tartu then please tell me :)

Veel moned kehvad situatsioonid...

At the moment it is 7th of August, and my training course is over, but before describing that I want to talk about what happened before TC!

My last post was in english, but like then also now I have many bad situations....what all right now are funny!

So, it was thursday, 31st of July. We decided to go all together to eat and drink smth outside. Ot was so noce weather outside! So we decidet to sit in the center of Chisinau in one terass(outside).

But of course after 30 minutes it started to rain sooo much!!! And thunder...ou good..it was so strong. Of course then came the time, when I had to go to the airport to pick up 2 estonians!

As after storm and thunder there was problem with electricity then I had problem to take trolleybus for going to the airport. I was wet, and I arrived finally to airport 15 min later.

But unfortunately airplane came 15 min before..and of course, due to problems with mobileservice(thunder), I could not call.....

Finally it came out that they had one friends here, who picked girls up...so I went just like that back to the city!

At night, 00.25 had to come one boy from Holland - Theo-Henk! So we(me, Silviu and Julien) went to pick him up. One girl, Liedewij decided to go to sleep.

Of course airplane was late, but finally it came...and Theo-Henk was with us!

All people were happy and we decided to go to sleep...

But there was one tiny problem....Liedewij was sleeping and we did not had the key!!!!!!

So....we rang the doorbell, but she did not hear us...So we waited in the corridor...outside was raining and I didn't have my mobile. After around 1,5 hours in the coridor we went with Silviu to ask another key(from the owner)...but ofcourse..after 45 min walking we came back, and we saw boys in our flat already!!!

So...during last days there have happened so many bad things with me, that I even do not want to imagine...

But here is picture from the market :)

Fun!

Now I start to describe my training course!

Minu 50.postitus...ehk siis minu onnetused Moldovas :( :D

Hei!
Nuud on mul siis millestki kirjutada, ning tunnen et ma ei suuda ennast seekord inglise keeles valjendada..niiet saate seekord eestikeelset postitust lugeda!

Pildil naete kohalikku turgu - see on hasti suur ning sealt voib leida koike!
Hetkel on hinnad vaga meeldivad:
ploomid - 5 eeku kilo
nektarid alates 7 eeku kilo
arbuus alates 3 eeku kilo

Koigepealt! Meil on korteris loomaaed! :) Meil on 2 tillukest hiirepoega, keda mina kull nainud pole, kuid kes siiski eksisteerivad! Lisaks nendele oli meil uhel ohtul toas rohutirts!!! Pikkust oli temal umbes 4 cm...taiesti hull oli see! Ja huppas meil toas ringi...katte ei saanud. Alguses. Parast ikka saime! :)

Nuud tuleb koige tahtsam!

Minuga juhtus onnetus! Ja suhteliselt rumal onnetus!

Oli uks onnetu teisipaev.

Algas see sellega, et Natasha(minu organisatsioonist) helistas mulle hommikul kell 8, ning kusib, et kui kiiresti ma ennast voodist valja vedada suudan. Mina vastan, et 3 minutiga. Tema siis selle peale, et selge..mine minu juurde ja too hollandlastele(kes saabusid teisip ohtul) linad. Ajasin riided selga ning unise peaga toin linad ara. Nii. Toimetasin kodus..motlesin siis, et lahen linna suveniire ostma. Laksin linna, kuid loomulikult polnud mulle raha ule kantud, ning nii ma seal seisin, 2 h vaba aega oma rumeeniakeele tunnini, raha pole!

Otsustasin poest omale liha osta(tavaliselt ma vaga suur lihasober ei ole), ning astudes poest valja silmasin ma trollibussi. Hakkasin kiiresti selle poole liikuma, kuid inimesi oli nii palju, niiet pidin moned sammud bussiteel tegema.

Loomulikult oli seal auk, nagu korvalolevalt pildilt naete!!!

Ja loomulikult vajusin ma sinna polvili sisse!

Sikutasin siis oma jala sealt valja, ning jarsku vaatan, et miks mu helesinisel seelikul mingid tumedad plekid on...tostsin seeliku ules, ning selgus, et umbes 4 cm minu polvest allpool oli jalas auk!!! 1*0,5 cm!!! Ja verd tuli lahinal!

Mina tabas shokk! Ei osanud midagi teha, kuid siis tuli umbes 5-6 naist mu juurde, viisid mu bussipeatusesse istuma ning hakkasid mu jalga puhastama. ja omavahel laksid veel vaidlemagi et mida tegema peab. Mina nutsin!!! :)

Nad ei saanud vist arugi et ma kohalik pole! Lopuks sain ma koju. Mobiilil sai krediit otsa! Pidin minema meie uhe organisaatori juurde, kes siis ravis mind. Parast seda laksin

aga lennujaama, et toimetada kesklinna uks noormees

Rumeeniast. Otse loomulikult tabas mind paduvihm! Nii ma siis joudsingi lennujaama labimarjana....lennuk loomulikult hilines!

Okei..noormehe sain kenasti katte, kuigi seal oli umbes miljon inimest lennukilt maha tulemas..

Ja oh ennae imet...korteri voti, kuha ma ta viima pidin ei toodanud! :) Nii me siis olime koridoris, korterisse ei paasenud, valjas sadas vihma, helistada ei saa..ning minu jalg tilgub verd! Ootasime mingit imet umbes 40 minutit..siis helistatigi minu organisatsioonist :)

Toodi voti, paasesime korterisse ning siis sujus juba koik ilusti! Kuigi jalg jookseb siiani natukene verd ja on sinine ja paistes :D Aga vast saab pulmadeks terveks!

No ja ega sellega koik loomulikult ei loppenud..oosel loin oma polve veel marraskile...ning ei saanud korralikult magada!

Aga tana on hoopis teine paev! Homme on meil uhe tudruku lahkumisohtu..ja kupsetasin selleks koogi :) Pildil ta vaga hea valja ei nae!

Ja tegelikult tegin lausa 2 kooki...teine on ploomidega..viin ohtul hollandlastele..veel maitsnud pole....aga vast sai hea!

Ja ongi nuud koik...meil on siin Moldovas uleujutused, millesse kull mina kuidagi ei puutu. Joest olen kaugel!

Kuid alates 1.08 olen eemal..meil on siin training course toimumas(Chisinaust ning internetist eemal) ning vaja seal asjalik olla!

Okei...mind juba oodatakse! :)

Ilusat suve jatku koigile!

Juta :)
