Barbara Woroch, Poland: “I have always been interested in Russia and a plan to go there has always lived independently somewhere back in my mind. So, after the graduation, when I asked myself this fundamental question ”What do I want from life NOW?” there was only 1 possible answer. 3 months later I entered the office of NGO “One World Association” in Poznan. Agnieszka, my best coordinator ever, who has known me earlier, wasn’t surprised that I wanted to go to Russia. “Find a project for me”, I asked. “I have to go to Russia.” After 3 weeks I knew that I was accepted, I would live and work in Nizhny Novgorod for 9 months and take part in a project “Konkort”, working with mentally disabled youngsters. At that time I was simply happy.”
