Explore Europe with the ESK Volunteer Service

Victoria Hollerer (19) from Dornbirn currently lives in Latvia. She is doing a ten-month ESK voluntary service there and works in a local kindergarten. She plans and organizes activities such as game mornings, festivals, sports games, learning support and much more. When Victoria Hollerer moved to Gulbene, a small town in Latvia, in early September, she had little idea of ​​the small Baltic state.

In the meantime she has got to know and appreciate the country and its people. “I’ve already had the opportunity to get to know the exciting culture and a lot of great new people, be they other volunteers or local residents. It has been a valuable experience so far and I’m looking forward to the rest of my time here,” said the young woman from Dornbirn. She is happy to share her previous experiences with interested parties as part of an online information evening on the ESK voluntary service, where she will be connected live from Latvia.
