Egy fest: three days in Gheorgheni
In a world that celebrates diversity, few things bring communities together like a vibrant festival: Egy Fest. At the beginning of August, I had the incredible opportunity to participate as a volunteer in a local festival that showcased the rich tapestry of cultures in Gheorgheni (Gyergyószentmiklós). The event was a perfect blend of tantalizing local cuisine, mesmerizing student performances, and the universal language of music. As I reflect on my experience, I am excited to share the unique moments that made this festival truly unforgettable.

A Memorable Children's Day
Children's Day is a special occasion that celebrates the joy, innocence, and boundless energy of our little ones. This year, Green Sun Association went above and beyond to organize a series of exciting games and activities for children to enjoy. We took the opportunity to visit a newly opened cat shelter and spend quality time in the park.
On the first day of our Children's Day celebration, we visited a recently opened cat shelter. Many children, accompanied by their families or their kindergarten friends, eagerly joined us.
My number one hobby
Ah, finally summer is coming to our town. As the weather starts to warm up and the sun graces us with its presence, there's no better time to venture out into the great outdoors. One of my favorite places to escape when the weather becomes better is a park.
In our city Târgu Secuiesc/Kézdivásárhely we have three big parks; Molnár Józsiáspark, W. Wegener Park & Millennium Park, where I like spending time with my friends.
My Third Time at Daily Camp & A Heartwarming Experience with Sweet Children
For the third time, I had the pleasure of being a part of the daily camp for children. As a volunteer, I joined a team of organizers to create a fun-filled and engaging experience for the kids. During the four-day camp, I was delighted to see the children's enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, and affectionate nature towards me and other GSA volunteers.
I could see the excitement on their faces as they participated in every game with enthusiasm. They would ask questions, express their opinions, and provide valuable feedback, making us feel appreciated and valued.

In this blog, I will share with you my journey of learning to play ping pong, my experience of playing with friends and children, and the championships I took part in.
In Dracula castle
Visiting Dracula's castle is an adventure that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who dares to venture inside. And when a group of friends, children, and teachers from Romania and different countries come together to explore the legendary castle, the experience becomes more memorable.
The group arrived at the castle on a sunny and cold day in late winter, eager to explore the dark, mysterious corridors and rooms that have fascinated people for centuries.
Organizing and holding different activities for young people
Organizing team building for volunteers, working with different groups of teenagers, a is a little bit challenging. In this blog, I'll share my experience of working for two months, organizing team building for volunteers, working with different groups of teenagers, holding energizers and games for them. I hope this will give you some ideas on how to make your work with young people more fun and engaging.
