YFU - Youth for Understanding

Hey,

in diesem Post möchte ich euch meine Austauschorganisation Vorstellen: YFU.
(Pünktlich zum Kindertag <3)


Das Youth for Understanding Komitee Deutschland ist eins aus über 50 Ländern die sich zusammen für den Austausch zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen, für Demokratieerziehung und für die Übernahme gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung einsetzen.
YFU-Deutschland wurde 1957 gegründet und hat seitdem über 60.000 Schülerinnen und Schüler auf ihrem weg ins Ausland begleitet, jährlich fahren ca. 1000 Schüler/innen ins Ausland und 550 kommen nach Deutschland.


Ich persönlich bin durch meine Schule auf YFU aufmerksam geworden, denn dort gibt es ein- oder zweimal im Jahr eine Informationsverantstaltung auf denen ehemalige Austauschschüler verschiedener Organisationen über ihre Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse sprechen und somit auch die jeweilige Organisation vorstellen. Wie ich schon bei der Vorstellung erzählt habe, war ich selbst nie auf einer davon, mein Vater schon und er hat ein paar Broschüren über YFU und eine andere Organisation mitgebracht.
Wir hatten eigentlich nur ein richtiges Kriterium für die Auswahl: Wenn ich weg bin kommt kein Austauschschüler zu  uns nach Deutschland, da dass einfach nicht passen würde. Ich weiß garnicht mehr genau warum ich mich dann bei YFU beworben habe und nicht bei einer anderen Organisation, ich denke der Flyer hat mich einfach mehr angesprochen (xD).

Zu meiner Bewerbung komme ich in meinem Nächsten Post.

Eure Hanna

la mitad de mi año

The half of my exchange year is over, in 5 months I will be back in Germany and this year is just a memory. But not just only that, also we are in the year 2018. I am turning 18 this year. I will, hopefully, get my driver license. All of my best friends are going to graduated next year, just I don't. And so much more unbelievable things are about to come. I can't believe how much time had passed by. 162 days are over . 148 left. One of my best friends, I made here, is already back in the US and he is not the only one whose time in another country is over. I can't even imagine being back right now. To be back at home. with my family and my friends.   My Spanish is not good as I wish it would be, I didn't did as much things I wished I had. Still these 162 days were the best of my life and the next are going to be better. That's a promise to myself. I am so thankful for being here, that I was given this opportunity. I mean yeah, making an exchange year is not...

Say Goodbye to start a new life

Now I am finally in Ambato, with my host family. But I will start at the beginnig. Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday, 22nd August: A friend stayed over in the night and in the afternoon we were going to berlin to meet two other friends: Sarah and Tamiah (love ya guys) cause the one just arrived from Namibia (she live there and was an exchange student in my school). For me it was really hard to say goodby to my house, I have no idea why it was just so sad. When we arrived in Berlin and we meet my friends my wallet was stolen.. and with it my money card for Ecuador... I was so angry and was like WHY? After it we had a great time together and and I spend the night in Berlin, cause my flight goes at 6 am in ther morning. My Dad, his girlfriend, my brother, my friend, my uncle, my aunt and my cousin spend the eve together and it was so nice and a good way to say goodbye to everyone.

2 Weeks in my Host Family & first week of school

Two weeks ago, I arrived in my Host Family. I can't belive that I am here for 2 Weeks now.. I mean HOW?! The time passed so fast.. At the one hand I feel like I am being here for months, but on the other hand it feels like 4 days or something like that. I really like my host family , but the most my host sister, cause she is really nice to me and helps me with everything, also I can speak englsih with her. Her englsih is better than the english of the most people here, cause she tooked extra classes after school to learn english. Here you have to do that, If you want to leran real english... I get more used to spanish in the last two weeks, but I am still not really good with it. Also my fisrt school week is over. The name of my school is "Unidad Educativa Ambato" . We didn't really had classes this week, it was more for organize stuff and somethig like that. My classmates are really cool and also I like my school a lot, but it's soooooo different to Ger...
