Internships at MOJU
During the
month of August, the Mais Sucesso Project received two Social Worker
internships. Let’s read their story…
My name is
Anna De Bona, I`m 24 years old and I live in Muenster, Germany. There, I study
social work and enjoy the life as a student.At the moment, I`m doing
an internship at MOJU for my studies and travel around Algarve.The objective of this internship
is to find my way through the whole world of Social Work and get
to know the work with kids at this age. I am doing it in Portugal because I can imagine myself working abroad and also to gain
experiences about this topic.
I am really
happy and thankful to get the chance and hope I make the
best out of it.

ihr lieben,
My name is
Josi and I have the fortunate opportunity to be one of the newest members to
this nice little EVS Family in Olhao. Originally, I am from Germany where I
have just started to study Social work this last April. In this course of study
it’s mandatory to finish an Internship in the Social Work field. Because my
friend’s friend we got to know of the Mujo Mais Sucesso Project, which fits
with what we were looking for and they were happy to take in new volunteers.
In Germany
I am originally from Nürnberg, wich is in Frankonia a part of Bavaria (South of
Germany / Oktoberfest ;)). Bavaria is known for its Beer culture. We even have
our own Beer commandment which is called: Bayerisches Reinheitsgebot. Next to
beer, the food is what I miss most from my home country (Bretzels and Bread).
Especially, good dark bread with a nice
crust which is hard to come by outside of Germany… With those three B’s you
cannot go wrong!!!
At home I
am a very active person, I really like to be outside and find new adventures
that want to be done. As a hobby, I have found climbing. Here in the Algarve
with all of its cliffs along the coast there are such nice climbing spots. I
hope to be able to try one of them before I go.
Since my
start at MOJU, quite some time has already past. I started on the first of
August and will finish on the 31st. Sadly, since I only have a little
time to get to know the way things work here, I will probably leave before I
could completely integrate myself into the work. But I see the chances in this
situation. I think it’s a great opportunity to be involved in this kind of
organization; away from my home, to see the cultural differences, how things
are handled, etc. Besides, I think a month is (also if short) enough time to
fit in the position I work in. I am very excited to see what the next week will
bring!
Liebe Grüße
Josi
