About myself
My name is Doreen Lembke. I was born in Germany, since 2005 I have lived in New Zealand. I have a background in the field of Print and Media, and also qualifications to teach English and German as foreign languages. In the 1980s/90s I used to correspond with Parmena Orzetic from Iasi. We reconnected via Facebook and developed a volunteer programme in Podu Iloaiei.
The project involves several activities:
The English Club is an additional English course for students. The course is divided into English language and grammar lessons, and some media projects, for example creation of a calendar, development of a newspaper, designing of some greeting cards. Both, teachers and students are volunteering to take part. Rooms are provided by Şcoala Alexandru I. Cuza.
I am assisting to English and other classes and also visit to local kindergarte to join some group activities. As an intercultural exchange this allows me getting to know Romania, the people and the education system, and passing on information about Germany and New Zealand.
As part of the project this web blog has been created. It is an online presence for the school with contact details and info about school and teachers. Additional pages inform about events and happenings at school. Parmena Orzetic will be the coordinator of website in the future.
Volunteer work at Hospice
Assisting caretakers, nurses and kitchen staff are part of my volunteer work at the Hospice which gives me the possibility to get to know the medical and social system in Romania. As part of the English lesson
students will create greeting cards for people living at the Hospice.
... that is the main purpose of this project. First of all I have a personal interest in different countries and cultures. I am always happy to offer my skills and knowledge to students and people. I am sharing my experience in Romania with people in other countries. Also an article about this project will be published in a local newspaper in New Zealand.
