MY 2 MONTHS IN GLASGOW

Our UK volunteering phase were consisted of two months & we had to do volunteering work in
Scotland's largest city Glasgow. Glasgow boosts the metropolitan life at its best with easy & best
transport available to move anywhere around the city, with the best place for shopping and with its beautiful architectural laid buildings the city of Glasgow captures ones imagination about working & living in this magnificent city.

My host home was located in the north-east area called 'Riddrie' and my volunteer placement ( VP ) was located in the southern district of city area called 'Toryglen'. It was approximately
2-miles south of city center. The name of my VP was 'URBAN ROOTS' , it was an environment based project, the main working areas included maintaining the on-going forest conservation project in the woodland area, to build wooden board walk in the woodland area, to grow fresh vegetables for local community and to setup and help in running the 'Fruit Barra' that will sell low-cost fresh fruits & vegetables for local community. My VP counter part was Suzanne, she was from Wales UK, she was clever, honest & hard working. We really had a great time working together.Besides VP there were CAD's GCD's MPR & Debrief that we did as a whole group & we learned & enjoyed a lot doing those.

The city of Glasgow had a friendly atmosphere in which working was a good fun with lots of learning. Everything seems perfect in Glasgow. To be as live-audience in BBC Scotland studio,
doing traditional scotish dancing, or being 'Bards' at pub, everything i did in Glasgow was full of fun with lots of learning. From the best shopping places, to the most beautiful vistas of Crainlarich, from the most beautiful buildings of University of Glasgow, from warm welcome by Scotish Youth Parliament in Edinburgh to the cool breeze of Irish Sea, from George Square to Glasgow central station I can honestly say that i had the best time in my life in Glasgow. I LOVE GlasgoWOW : )
