Hello dear colleagues and friends,

It is time to update our newsletter with the activities we carried out during in this month. We hope youwill enjoy the reading and you will keep being interested in Beyond Barriers activities.

The first whole month that we went to the Luigj

Gurakuqi School passed so quickly hmmm

It happens like this when

you like what are you doingbecause we have no words to

explain how wonderful the kids

are.

At school there as a lot to do

from playing simply board games,

watching cartoons to drawing,but during this month mostly of the time we were focuson decoration school. Together with the lovely art

teacher we hanged childrens pictures in the corridor and

we became master of walls painting and nailing.

But also we were so active in the physical education

lesson. We were playing soccker, basketball or just were

running with kids.

We have enjoyed every moment with the kids and staff.

Even the children of the L.G. have made their contribution to the celebrations

in honor of 100 years of independence of Albania.

Not with large statues or large parties, they did it

with music.

The children sang for us some of the most popular

patriotic songs in Albania, it was wonderful to see

with what joy they were happy to share this

moment with us.

Thank you for the most welcoming celebration.

After the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933,

Jews were subjected to increasingly discriminatory

treatment accompanied by organised violence. On

November 9th 1938, the Nazis started a pogrom

against the Jews.

Jewish shops had their windows smashed across the

country, which gave rise to the name "Kristallnacht",

which freely translated means the Night of Broken

Glass. Many Jews were physically attacked too. The

"Kristallnacht" pogrom is usually seen as the symbolic

beginning of the Holocaust.

The International Day against Fascism and Anti-

Semitism is an annual commemoration of the

'Kristallnacht' pogrom that occurred on the

November 9th, 1938.

European volunteers of the organization have prepared a short film with film sequences with

well-known films about Fascism.

We are always used to think about fascism as a very far away age, with black and white picturesand strange men with elegant uniforms. Sometimes we forget that when we talk about the

Second World War we also talk about families, men, women and children.The message inside the movie was about the wrong direction that the society can take even

nowadays. What can we do for don't repeat it again?

After five months together in Albania, we (EVS), organized a dinner quite

original and dynamic!In what were our special guests, office team and us!

We had one intercultural dinner. Another energy-rich conviviality...

It was also presented a film, produced by us, with many different photos so

far, and lots of gossip's moments! In reporting so far all that we have shared

together!

A really funny moment and also full of

emotion!

We were in this activity with local volunteers. When we arrived, the Social

Worker Lozana Kadiu, began by telling us about the institution, andexplained to local volunteers in advance some of the rules and regulations

of the school, before they start the activity with the kids! She also explained

the conditions for volunteering in a row in the same institution!

Then all the bureaucracy (important things and papers), the children

entered the room where he was already prepared to music and games, in

which all had fun together, playing and dancing, colouring and drawing ...

In an environment full of colour and warmth!

In the framework of the International Volunteer Day 2012 and in the framework of the 100th

Anniversary of Albanias Independence, we were invited to participate in the realization of a

short movie.

This was an initiative aiming at promoting volunteerism in Albania and recognizing the work and

efforts made from more than 20 years now from volunteers coming from all over the world,

contributing to the development of Albania and helping people in need.

The video will be launched in the Tirana International Film Festival (TIFF) 2012, starting on the

would celebrate this day and take few pictures as a

memory of this event.

After walking around the crowed city and getting

squeezed in the big crowds of people we decided to

have dinner in Beerhouse. After the dinner the planwas to go and enjoy Rita Ora singing but

unfortunately it started to rain extremely hard so the

show, at least for us, was not a good idea and we

went home.

!

Do you have some spare time and do you want to use it for active

participation? Do you have an idea but you dont know how to implement itor just lack some resources?

Come to visit us or contact us and become one of our volunteers!
