My youth work

It's just beginning, so probably I'll have quite many posts ;)

I thought today about many things. Too many to write them here. Chosen one is youth work :p Surprisly. When I've started my volunteering it was middle of 2002. Just to see what it is about. And now? I'm in 4 NGOs and some people are asking me about creating one in our village. But I think it's too much for one person. I must make selection. Choose the most important things. Let's see.
Polish Youth Council - I'll stay there. I like it, even if it is very hard work. Through 2 years nothing happened. In last year we made a "revolution", have a new board. It started to change, but very slowly, not so efficiently as it could be. Still there are problems with communication between people in the board. And also identification of member NGOs with PYC is not so high. There is still soooo much work to do. And not many people. And no money at all :( But we're figthing and we will!
AEGEE - I'll also stay inside. I like it also. Good ideas, interesting people. I'm not occupied with my things there, so it's not matter of this NGO at this moment.
Fundation "Partnership for Krajna and Pałuki" - our regional, very new foundation. I think it is really good possibility for our community to develop. At this moment I'm coordinating only one little thing. But it is just beginning, just register in court. I think I'll try to help them.
And two things which I consider now:
Foundation "Szansa XXI" - small local foundation, which is not really efficient. And I don't like very much way of thinking of the board - they are most important, not things which are they doing and people for whom they are doing those things. It's rather kind of business. Let's wait a bit and see.
And last thing is this idea of association in my village. I think it is really good idea to have one here. But two things are not really clear for me. First - why they choosed as a topic peoples' culture, not culture in general, but only local peoples' culture. It's important, but they are saying so much about development of our village and in this situation they will not have many possibilities for that :/ But about this maybe I'll have a more info tomorrow - there will be a meeting. Second thing is my role (if they will have only this topic I don't see myself in it almost at all) and other question is - will I have more time to involve in this?
So many things to do. At this moment it is almost like a normal job. And it is not paid. I may afford on it only because I don't have "normal" job at this moment and my parents help me. But I must start professional work very soon and after that I really don't know how it'll be. It would be perfect to work professionaly in one from those NGOs and be volunteer in rest of them. Just ideal situation :) But not really possible.
