Chemistry Lab!

Today in Juventude!
Our kids had the pleasure to participate in a interesting and funny chemistry class hosted by two of our volunteers: Ana Machado and Ana Olival. Playing with safe reactions, they were able to learn in a more practical way why the color of a liquid changed when adding to it a neutral colored catalizer. How a balloon can inflate itself with the help of the carbon dioxide reaction inside a plastic bottle and many other entertaining lessons. Juventude is the perfect place for kids to enjoy their time and learn new wonderful things at the same time. Nothing better than leading them to a brighter future full of joy!

Meet Marta, EVS Volunteer from Poland

My name is Marta, I am a volunteer from the EVS program in Juventude Cruz Vermelha (JCV) in Braga from Feburary 2013. EVS is for me an opportunity to change my life and do something for me and others. In JCV I work with kids, especially having dance classes with them. In addition, I help JCV in logistic, organization and communication tasks. EVS is also an opportunity for me to improve my portuguese language and to live in foreign country. What I like the most in my EVS is that every day is different and every day brings a new challenge for me.
