Goodby Clem, Moritz and Paul! (17-30th of August)

The last two weeks of August were not so easy for JACis team. Vija and Agita together with the youth and Georgiana had to say officialy goodby to Paul, Moritz and Clemence.
Monday they prepared the last party for the three volunteers. A lot of emotions and memories filled JACis. We remembered together about all the activities that volunteers prepared during one year: a lot of ideas, teamwork, beautiful results, friendships... But their EVS arrived... We were in that point where we sayed thank you and see you soon.
The volunteers received each of them a beautiful presend from JACis team and enjoy for the last time the speciality of latvian cake. Very tasty! Also, they were very serious interviewed by the youth and had a lot of fun remembering the good moments that they live as a volunteers.
It was very interesting to discover their future plans but specialy the fact that there will be a lot of opportunities to meet them again.
The rest of the week was full with the last arrangement: tickets, lagguages, saying goodby to the friends from Rezekne etc.
Moritz left on 19th. Tamara had lead him to the airport and after that she spend the night in Riga in order to do the same for Paul and Clemence who had the plan on 20th.

After she sayed goodby to her friends, on 20th in Riga, Georgiana traveled to Sigulda where another romanian volunteer organized a nice event: SkirtBike. During 3 days, Georgiana meet local volunteers and youth, talked about EVS, her project and helped with the organisation on the event. She was very impressed about the city and she enjoy a lot the activities that she took part in.

The last week was pretty strange in JACis. It seems that all the youth left in the same time with the volunteers... So not so many activities happend in these days here.
Of course they were enjoying the last days of holiday and prepared for teh beguining of schools. We are waiting for them next week, with new ideas of projects
