Service and Creativity: Pen Pals in Poland!

Hours:10

Learning Outcomes: Initiative and Planning, Showing perserverence and commitment

I found the organization Girls Future Ready through Instagram. A friend had posted about it on their story, and I decided to get involved!

For the last few weeks, I've been meeting for one hour each week (for most weeks) with two different Polish girls online. They're really nice and we get along well! There is one issue, which is that one of the two girls doesn't speak great English, so it's a bit difficult to communicate well with her. Still, we are able to talk. The idea of this program is that I help them learn English, but I am also learning about Poland and Polish traditions! :) Additionally, I am meeting for 40 minutes per week with a Polish class' after-school English club online. We usually talk about different cultural traditions.
