Katarina's Story

  Participating in the S.O.S program was my first experience I ever had. At the beginning of the program I was really afraid especially when I arrived at Bretta. But in the next few days it began to be really fun. It was brilliant to work in teams doing things like painting, gardening or moving furniture. It was great to see such a lot of happy faces of people to whom we had helped. It was great to work in someone’s garden and know that that person is in need and he or she is really glad that we are there to help. I have learned a lot of things during the program, for example that we have to help those who are in need of it, because then we are happier and we are more smiling. I have made lot of friends too. We may never meet again but thanks to email and internet we can stay in contact.

The S.O.S program is not only about work it is also about yourself, because there you learn where your limits are, and if you are tired there are others there who will give you a hand and help you out. When you help others than others will help you.

The S.O.S program is for hard working people, but it is also for people who want to laugh, have fun, and make lots of new friends and for those who want to help from the heart. It is also about team building, games and big deal is praying which is really cool too:-) But what I like on S.O.S so much was Fr Bobs Pearls of Wisdom I really enjoyed them all.

And on the end one BIG THANKS to the S.O.S team, to: Bob, Sandy, Alana, Sam, Soo, Isley and to Jacek, every one of them are great and kind people and thanks to them the S.O.S program was the best.

Try it and you will see it is great fun.
