SERVICE 17-21/12/2018 - Christmas packages for Warsaw Uprising's combatants

It won't be a funny, long post with pictures and smiles.

I think it is all becaused I started to be a scout at a young age, polish history, especially World War II and Warsaw Uprising became important for me. I started to read more about the fight that people my age started and how many lives were sacrified for me to be able to influence the minds of young girls and present to them values such as help, love, patriotism, mutual understanding and respect.

When I heard about the possibility of delivering the packages prepared by Ochota's District Council for the combatants fighting in Ochota on August 1944, I knew I had to help. I delivered the packages to two combatants - one was M. Skowrońska and second was Sylwester Kominek. I could talk to them and hear their stories and this experience is one which will stay with me for the rest of my life.

My generation is the last to have the opportunity to talk to those, who saw the end of the world, burning Warsaw. I strongly believe that being aware of the past helps to create a peaceful future and that's why I want to know as much as I possibly can about the war - to help preventing it in the future.

CREATIVITY, ACTIVITY 02/12/2018 My trip to Kraków

It was the best idea I could have with my father! I and my dad decided to have a very intensive Sunday. He read about the Stanisław Wyspianski's exhibition in Kraków National Museum and we together decided to see it... But living in Warsaw, how could we do it? Go there! We departed from Central Railway Station in Warsaw around 6am. It was really early, but it was all worth it. Firstly, I could see a city that is so famous for being beautiful and I heard a lot about Krakow being the pearl of polish tourism. I was unfortunately negatively surprised by the amount of garbage on the streets and the air pollution that I could feel breathing. I am aware that Warsaw is not perfect, however... I could feel it was cleaner. Nevertheless, I feel like I opened for a different Poland. Kraków with its art, magnificent architecture was inspirational. Moreover, I did more than 20 kilometers walking and trekking around Kraków, as I had seen wonderful places such as Wawel, Stare Miasto, Suk...

22/09/2018 SERVICE Help on the student’s body event - celebrating 100th anniversary of Batory High School It was such an amazing day. My dear friends organized an event that celebrated the anniversary of Batory and being there and helping was one of the best memories I could ever have! My job was to help with food - as we had BBQ&Grill. I prepared the meat, grilled (it was really hot near there!) and basically just make people that came to our event have fun and create an opportunity for them to be happy - it’s all about happiness, isn’t it? Moreover, I learned that managing even a small group of people that we don’t know very well might be challenging - but I think I did a pretty good job! It also showed me that school and activities connected with it can be an interesting experience and that we have to cherish every moment that we can spend together with friends and family. It was all about caring and having good time.
