Now we know more about Ukraine!!!

Last friday we had an oportunity to get to know Ukraine better.

Our monthly event "intercultural night" was presented by ukrainian volonteer Inna. We could try a lot of ukrainian national food and get some fresh look from insider personally. Also we had time to have a good conversation with all the volonteers, new and old. We had fun!!!

Do you know that Ukraine became independent not so long ago, in 1991?! Its a young country which tries to join EU and deal with armed attack of Russia on the east.

First Intercultural night! Meeting Bulgaria

Intercultural night! 

Meeting Bulgaria!

Once a month, the MOJU team gathers at dinner time. One of the international members presents his or her home country displaying the traditional culture, music, food, etc.

Starting to prepare during the afternoon…

… to have typical Bulgarian dishes ready for the night!

When the table was set, we were ready to begin the presentation…

We summarised interesting facts about Bulgaria and its people in some minutes, so that everybody would get a taste of one of the Balkan countries.

Afterwards, we enjoyed the food, the drinks, the music and the company!

All volunteers and…

… whole MOJU team.

Everyone enjoyed the night and was happy to be able to get to know more about Bulgaria and its (sometimes) unknown culture and history.

We are eager to go to the next Intercultural Night to have the opportunity to meet an other country!
