Dear Sir or Madam:

I am Jamie, a 24 years old Spanish who lives in Valladolid. With this letter I would like to apply for participation as a volunteer in Leszno. I found your program in the database and I hope it is still active. I love the opportunity to volunteer for an EVS project at first sight, and I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of it.

I think that to participate in social work, in a project like this, is the best way to do something that really fits to me. I feel the need to grow as a person, enriching my culture, language and learning from people that are working.

In September 2011, I had the opportunity to go to Bulgaria during my Erasmus program. Altogether studying English Philology I had the opportunity to enrich myself meeting new cultures and people all around the world.

In 2014, after finishing my degree, I worked at the “Fringe Festival” in Edinburgh as a bar assistant. In this, I had the opportunity to improve my English level and meet people from all around the world. As you can see, I am a curious person who likes people and tries to know as much as I can from everyone.

I also have a high interest in being a volunteer, especially cultural events. Aside from the University, I work in a group that organizes social and cultural events in a non-profit organization for people at risk of social exclusion.

I am particularly interested in your project because my aim is to work in an international field related to teaching languages. I’m sure I can learn much from you and I hope to contribute also.

I enjoy working with people and know how to deal with conflicts. I can adjust easily to fit into any work environment and have no problem working as part of a team. I am quick to adapt to new situations and enjoy challenges in my work.

I am ready to learn and I would be very grateful if you would give me a chance to contribute to this project. I thank you for your time and hope for a positive response.

Sincerely,

Jamie.
