BOOK “Be Your Own Hero, Do Your Own Stuff ”

BOOK “Living the Sumy experience”
\nEleni Boulli, EVS volunteer:
\n“I\u2019m gonna be honest with you. When I first saw this place, I was shocked. I left Greece, a sunny place, full of happy colors and I came here, where the view is depressing. But now, living the Sumy experience, I think that this view is just beautiful. Look around you – people, all these buildings, the flowers in the park, the grey colors in the sky, it\u2019s like a sad poem. A beautiful poem though. This place has many life-experiences to offer and I\u2019m ready for them. The best part is that I met these sweet people. They make every day special and I\u2019m grateful for that. Open your mind, your eyes and your heart and let the Sumy experience get all over you!”<\/p>\n
