Querida Linda, Carmina, Consol y Gianni nos han contado como fue el encuentro en Glasgow. Nos ha parecido muy interesante, en particular como fue organizado todo, la acogida que les hicisteis y tambien las relaciones que establecieron con los amig@s de Polonia. Glasgow les gustó mucho y tenemos muchas ganas de venir a visitaros pronto. Esperemos que en ESlovenia, donde voy a participar, podemos continuar este buen intercambio. HAsta pronto! Un abrazo.

aw, am so glad that there are such positive comments, it was a great privilege to be the hosts in Glasgow and I was only sorry not to have been able to go to more of the “activities” my personal favourite was catching up with some of the people we met in Vienna, getting to know some of the other Glasgow delegates who went to other places after Vienna, I enjoyed all the speakers I heard and the meals. on the second evening at the Corinthian I suddenly remembered that is was near the restaurant that my son has a part time job so I texted him to see if he was at work and he texted back “Mother you have a better social life than me!”
so thank you for being such an easy group to entertain! and for your patience with people like me that cant speak other languages, I was so impressed with the levels of english and for you to be able tounderstand our Scottish accents! I hope we can continue Skype chats in the future.it was great fun being involved in making the welcome packs and being available for delegates generally, didnt Lynda so well! All the best from Mana

We agree with gianni! The meeting was all the time exciting, informative and stimulating. As we wrote in our report there were al lot of highlights last not least the excursion to Loch Lommond and the “Ross Priory”. Once more our best thanks to the excellent and careful preparation, organization and supervision by Linda! Hope to see you all again in Ljubljana! We are looking forward to the last meeting!

Indeed, it was a very interesting and lively meeting. It was good to meet again our friends from the other countries an to keep on the dialogue. The introduction about volunteering in Scotland was very good, although I don’t share all the statements made – in the next meeting, in slovenia, we could maybe come to some approach of this concept, without getting too theoreticla…. Thank you Linda (and all your team) for the work done.

I was one of the participants from the Glasgow group of Tell me… at this year’s international meeting of volunteers and it was a great pleasure to meet again some of the people I had met in Vienna last year. I was particularly impressed by the particiants from Poland who showed such enthusiasm and dedication. I found these meetings very stimulating bringing people together from different countries who all have one thing in common: how best to help those people who need our help. And in working towards that goal, there are no political boundaries!
