<p>Before I relate how YouthBank (YB) has changed my life, I'll start with a little introduction how I got in this team. I saw an advertisement on the internet as a new YB lauched in Cahul needs a good and talented team, I did not hesitate one moment and sent my CV and letter of motivation to the selection Board. <br><br>Within a week they called me and I invited me for an interview then another interview over 3 days and I was pleasantly surprised and excited to find out that I was accepted as a member of the YouthBank Cahul team. For me, the beginning was a bit difficult as I had to be permanently organized but being a crazy person, I started alone to motivate myself to do my tasks on time and to keep the promises I made at YB meetings. YB is and will be a lesson for every young person, especially for the 17 young people involved in this project.</p><p><img src="/uploads/551bd70e3e4f9.jpg" style="width: 220px;"> <img src="http://beacon.by/uploads/551bd729cbb1f.jpg" style="width: 216px; background-color: initial;"></p><p>YB has taught us to be organized and responsive to others, not to be indifferent, and to help young people who hope to bring color and perspective in our locality. YB continually impresses us and motivates us.</p><p><img src="http://beacon.by/uploads/551bd7772962b.jpg" style="width: 215px; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" alt="">
</p><p>It gives us the enthusiasm to work and make someone happy! We changed by its terms to be always positive and good 'business' managers. We have come a long way compared to how it was at the beginning of the activity. We have organized and we have trained ourselves through various activities, putting ideas into practice. One of our challenge is - from little things big things to do.</p><p>Up to now our greatest achievements have been the activities planned by 17 ingenious and courageous young people that bring smiles to loved ones at home,school, on the streets and in different public spaces because we young people can do great things to help others. </p><p>The most successful and joyful activity was The Carnival of Children that gave us a new impetus to implement other activities. We were all full of happiness and energy: for the children it was countless fun and games, and for us it was the pleasure of giving a gift and make them smile.</p><p>This kind of actitvies have motivated us to move forward regardless of the situation and the difficulties that will arise, because I am sure that together we will overcome all!</p><p>I am glad that YouthBank unites us and gives us reasons to be together. Any work done gives us courage and I hope that these activities are not in vain. </p><p> </p>
