Did you think about something different, I mean did you tried to talk with somebody a little bit different than you. Well, I will tell you our story, about impact and freedom.
Firstly, it starts from AIESEC, organization with a lot of projects that is on aims to help bring awareness of the SDGs to the youth of the world, promoting leadership opportunities, international internships & exchanges and participating in a global learning environment.
Secondly, it starts with Up! The unique project that changed my vision, my passions about some people. The project aims to integrate into the community and develop the abilities to speak in a foreign language of young people with Down Syndrome together with 12 international volunteers. We meet Adriana, woman with bigest heart from Raluca's center of syndrome down in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), and hers 8 young people, with dreams and sooo big love for life and to the whole world.
Our sessions have become more than a few lessons of English lessons, have become stories, soul stories, full of unique experiences. Besides the purpose of developing young people in certain areas, thanks to this project, I discovered that some people are able to make you see the world differently, appreciate, smile, in fact even they taught me to "be open-hearted, love the big world, and more the world in you"(Raluca, Adriana's daughter, singer, zumba dancer, music lover, confident leader, storyteller, dreamer, cute girl...young woman with syndrome down).
I mean, we did it, they did it, an impact for them for their dreams and hope. You can be just a simple man, volunteer, mother, dancer or dreamer - you're more than you think, more Up-er!
