I liked the video of the students from Vulcanesti, because they helped people with disabilities and together with the children they played. The message they wanted to transmit, is that we are not different, that we are equal in spite of any disabilities

The material video that most impressed me is the one of the students in Drochia (Funny English for Everybody). I seems it a brilliant idea to teach English to kindergarten children and it seems to me a brilliant idea that they learn english from students. Being of close ages children learn more easily foreign language from pupils than from teachers, thus communicating and learning more easily. I would very much like to participate in the future and to be actively involved in these projects, which, in my opinion are very useful to society.

You are right! It's a really good job to teach English to little kids. They should understand the importance of English as an internatinal language since early childhood.

Most of all I liked video of the students from Floresti, because a few students decided on the Global Youth Service Day to teach English to children from the kindergarten . At the end of this project through amusing activities, children were able to learn the basics of English. My opinion is that every one of us, regardless of age, needs to know the English language that will help us at least once in our lives. Finally, I can say that such projects need to be organized more often.

I liked the video of the students from Taraklia, because they mobilized and cleaned the river, they also created flyers to be spread to people through parks and the city. The message they wanted to send is not to throw away waste in rivers or running waters.

Most of all I liked the video "The Future of our Planet is in Our Hands" , because they are right. We are the ones who can change something in order to make the worl better. We all are the future. If we don't protect our Planet and don’t respect those around us all efforts of our parents and ancestors for a better life would be in vain. In conclusion I can say that everything we can do it is to help everyone who needs help and never forget who we are.

I liked the video "Let's help every child go to school" On Balatina Theoretical Lyceum, because the students organized a fundraiser for children who have to go to school you are in difficulty. They gathered smiles from them gifts and self-confidence. I my opinion, these pupils have done a noble thing because every child is going to go to school.

My favorite project is "Teaching English to kindergarten children". I consider that this project is very useful, because some pupils who know English well taught kindergarten children the English ABC, counting from 1 to 10 and many other words in English. They spent much time playing various games and singing songs. The little kids learned a lot of important things and also had fun with their new friends. I think that this project was a great experience.

The video of students from Florești (Teaching English to Kindergarten Children )impressed me most because kindergarten children are curious and want to learn new things, especially when they are taught by students in more captivating ways. In my opinion, this project is very userful to them, because learning English in kindergartens is based on information that will be useful in school and life.It is very nice when the students are engaged in charity projects, trying to change the society for better.
