This Friday me and my friend Deividas went down to the National Blood Center to volunteer. I have told him about volunteering here before and he suggested to go there together, because we both understand the importance of blood donations. I already knew the ropes, therefore I could explain what to do and how to … Continue reading Volunteering at the national blood center
This month I volunteered at maisto bankas again after some people from TB2 invited me to do so. I feel like this is a great way to give back to society especially after thinking about the fact that I never have to experience extreme poverty, which to me seems like such a horrid thing. So … Continue reading Volunteering at “Maisto bankas”
I finally got to act in front of a lot of people. I was very excited to do this, since it has been a long time for me without being on stage.

This month was heavy with preparations for šimtadienis. There were numerous tasks that you could do. I chose to act in the play, mostly because I wanted to do something creative and hard rather than make decorations as that would've been boring for me. I did not realize at first how much time it's going … Continue reading Helping to prepare for šimtadienis.

The first thing … Continue reading Volunteering at knygų mugė as a member of Vilnius City Opera
I switched my place from the assistant of the president to assistant of the communications department because the president did not need a lot of help anymore.

This December I remained in the organization as the assistant of the president. This was a much calmer month than November, but there was still work to be done.
