Volunteer activities for August Month

by Tatjana Stamenkovska

The month that just past August 2013, was a month full with some good volunteer work what the volunteers of the association “Pavel Satev” did, and shown their true volunteer spirit right in action. Nikolas from France was holding free Hip Hop dance lessons. This was his own perso-nal project that he chose. His idol is Mi-chael Jackson and the dancing style he had. Niko knows all the Michael Jackson choreographies of his songs and he is very good in dancing them. The outfit what he is wearing during his dance performan-ces is identical to Mi-chel Jackson outfit.Another all together activity of the volun-teers was cleaning the damp “Gradche”. In this they got help from the local institution “KJP Vodovod” what is in charge for clean en-vironment. They provided big plastic bags for the garbage what the volunteers collected. Plus

the employees of KJP Vodovod cut the grass what had grown all over the place. The local TV station supported this environmental action.http://kanal8.mk/index.php/358-volonteri-ja-cistea-gratceBut the volunteers didn’t do just volunteer ac-tivities. There was enough time for friendshi-

ps, shorts trips at the wee-kends to the near towns, exploring Kocani and the near places. So much good energy at one place. Young people who want to leave trace on the world where they are going , at the same time the world is living his trace on them. As well this month was pe-riod when we said goodbye to many of our volunteers. No matter how long they were here or how much time we all spend together,

always is sad when someone is going home. In August first left us Fazilet and Esra after that Emine, followed by Yusuf, Meli, Onur, Ismail, Burcu, Sena, Zinayda, Asta, Nikolas, Lucas...

Goodbye our dear friends, you will always stay in our good memories !

For Helpfull Material

From Turkey and Skopje

1)İnsanlara yardım etmeye nasıl karar verdik?2)İnsanlara yardım etmek için neler yaptık?3)Bu insanlar için başka neler yapacağız?

1)Öğrencilerimizin aileleriyle tanışmak için evlerine gittik. Gördüğümüz manzaralar bize ailelerin mad-diyatlatrını az çok anlattı. Daha sonra da Kasarna ile tanıştık. En fazla sorun oradaydı. Her bir odanın ayrı ayrı problemleri vardı. ’’Bir şeyler yapmalı. ’’ diye düşündük ve bir haftalığına Türkiye’ye giderek çalışmalarımıza orada başladık.

2)Türkiye’de küçük çaplı bir yardım kampanyası için afişler hazırlayıp astık. Giyim ve kitap yardımlarının bir kısmını bu şekilde elde ettik. Yakın çevremizden de giysi,kitap ve kırtasiye malzemesi yardımı aldık. Giyim ve kitap desteğin-de bulunamayacağını söyleyen bazı kişiler de para desteğinde bu-lundu. Kırtasiye mal-zemelerini (defter,ka-lem,silgi,kalemtraş,boya kalemleri) bu paralarla sağladık. Aynı zamanda yine yakın çevremizden alışveriş çantası dikmelerini istedik ve toplam 19 çanta elde ettik. Makedonya’ya dönüş zamanımız yaklaştığında ek bagaj aldık. Toplam 96 kiloyla Üsküp Havalimanı’na geldik. Üsküp’te bir gece kalmaya karar verdik. Kaldığımız akşam gezmeye çıktık. Kapalı Çarşı’da gezerken bir sergi gördük ve bu serginin yardım amaçlı olduğunu düşündük. Koçani’deki fakir insanlar için bize daha fazla yardım-cı olabileceklerini düşündüm ve o anda onlarla bu konuyu konuşmaya karar verdim. İlk görüştüğüm kişileri beni,Forumi Rinor İslam Derneği’nin başkanı Esma SHERIFI ile tanıştırdı. Esma Hanım’a gözlemle-rimi anlattım. Yardımcı olacağını söyledi. Biz ertesi gün Koçani’ye döndük. Esma Hanım’la telefon ve internet aracılığıyla iletişimimizi devam ettirdik. Bizi,giyim,ayakkabı,ve gıda yardımlarını sağlayabi-leceğimiz Kalliri i Miresise Yardım Derneği’ne yön-lendirdi. Sponsorumuz olan Dambolino Oyuncak Mağazası’nın sahibi bize yardımları Üsküp’ten ge-tirebilmemiz için araç ayarladı. Arife Günü sabah erkenden yola çıktık. Derneğe gidip yardımları aldık. Daha sonra Koçani’ye döndük. Ayakkabıları

odaların ihtiyaçlarına göre paketledik. Araca te-krar yükleyip Kasarna’ya geldik. Dağıtım yaptık. Ayırdığımız bazı eşyalar olmuştu. Onları da Kasarna dışında yaşayan başka fakir ailelere ulaştırdık. Bay-ram günü ise bir diğer sponsorumuz olan Pembe Panter Hamburger Dükkanı’nın sahibinin bize ver-diği beş kutu çikolatayı,gezerek çocuklara dağıttık. Bu çikolatarı hem Koçani’deki çocuklar hem de Vinitsa’daki bazı çocuklar yedi. Sponsorlarımızdan olan Amazon-R Baskı ofisinin sahibi Zvonko KO-

COV da ihtiyaç sahibi insanlar için giysi yardımında bulun-du. Bana,Semra’ya ve Seven’e Türk ve Makedon bayrağının bulunduğu baskılı tişörtleri hediye etti. Kısa mesafe yol-culuklarımızda bize sponsor olan Sebastian ARİFOVSKİ’yi de yardımlarından dolayı an-mamız gerek. Ayrıca geçtiğimiz günlerde Tür-kiye’den Koçani’ye ziyaretimize gelen arkadaşımız Abdullah ERDEN giysi yardımı ile birlik-te geldi. Aynı zamanda arka-daşlarımız Burcu ERDEĞER ve Sena ERDEĞER’in ailesinin sec-cade,başörtü,lif gibi yardımları oldu. Bu yardımları da ihtiyaç sahibi insanlara ulaştırdık. İki

kez Koçani belediye başkanı Ratko DİMİTROVSKİ ile görüşme yaptık. Ondan bazı sözler aldık ve bun-ların takibindeyiz.

3)Sırada Kasarna için konut projemiz var. Türkiye’ye döndüğümüzde bazı yardım dernekleri ile görüşe-ceğiz. Koçani belediye başkanının bize verdiği Kasarna Konut Projesi’ne katkılar yaparak görüşe-ceğimiz yardım derneklerine sunacağız. Umarım projemiz kabul edilir ve insanlar sıcak bir yuvaya kavuşur.

The dangers in dating sites

Dating sites are meant for lonely people who don’t have the cour-age to talk to anyone face-to-face. Unfortunately it has been badly used by people who have everything but good intentions. They make you feel like you can trust them and at the right time they will take advantage of you.

by Mari Põldma

In 2008 a 14-year old Estonian boy met Spanish girl on the dating site. She was sexy and he was into that. They started talking and they added each other on MSN. They became good friends, always talking and even if the boy was at school they texted each other. The boy felt a big trust towards the girl and as

time went by they start talking about intimate things. At some point girl wanted to see the boy through the webcam and he showed himself even though he did not see the girl. As the time went by boy started showing the intimate parts of his body. The girl wanted more, some actions. He showed some. Later the boy refused because he never even saw the girl. As the boy refused the girl started threatening the boy that if he won’t do anything else she would show all the pictures and videos to his family and friends. As it turned out the Spanish girl was actually a pedophile. The sexy Spanish girl was a bait to put boy’s hor-mones storm and when the pedophile had the material he needed he started to blackmail the boy. As the boy ignored the pedophile he started to threaten him again. Eventually the boy didn’t know what to do. He was too embarrassed to tell his parents and as the time went by the boy couldn’t take it anymore and killed himself. Investigation showed that the “Spanish girl” has had more victims in Estonia and probably in other countries as well. Moral of the story is that you cannot trust anyone you met on the internet even if you get along really well and you feel like you can trust him. You can’t.

The other story is about a 15-year old girl who met a 15-year old boy also in the internet. The kids also tal-ked a lot and started to get to know each other. They felt that they can trust each other and the girl really started to like the boy. After a while they decided to meet face-to-face. Since they lived in different cities they decided that the girl will visit the boy. At first it seemed good but after some time the girl discovered the negative side of the boy – the violence. She had felt it so hard that she had to be taken to the hospital. The boy apologized and they made up and as she was not in her hometown she decided to go back to the boy’s place. Everything was good for a while. It was, however, a fatal decision. The girl was killed by the 15-year old boy and his 33-year old sister later. When the girl was found she had several stab wounds and she had been raped before she was killed. Moral of the story is that when you decide to meet someone you met online you should ALWAYS do it in public.

These two cases are not common and extreme but you should still remember them. You should never trust the person you met online because you never know what she/he will do with the informati-on you shared with them. But if you have some trouble here are some tips for you!

Don’t answer to the messages and letter that harasses you – answering can make the bully

even more harassing.

Keep the disturbing letter or message – in that case you can always prove that you have been harassed. Remember that not only text and pictures but also videos can be record at both

sides of the conversation.

Always tell if you have some pro-blems – you can always talk to someone about your problems, either to your parents, brother, sis-

ter, teacher or even the police.

Block the harassing person – where you can, block the per-son. It is the easiest way to get rid of him/her. If they still can

reach you, tell someone.

Deal with the problem as soon as possible – preferably as soon as it

comes to be a problem.

HONEY + MOON

by Tereza Šamšulová

When I left on my EVS, so my concept of family has been expanded by two artic-les. One four-legged and two-legged

second. I departed with a heavy heart, because I have had to leave. But time passed quickly and I enjoyed. One fine morning came my prince on a white horse. He took me to Greece. We found a small village, a beautiful small hotel with be-ach across the road and an excellent restaurant next door. Idyll. We went on trips to explore the surroundings. We were arguing mountain and found themselves on the other side of the coast, where meter waves beating one another. And to the mountains not enough, we awoke on Friday morning at sea level and falling asleep in the evening about 2100 meters altitude above. Our home has become a chalet Refudgee A. Such extreme we experienced while climbing to the base camp on Mount Olympus. After several months of doing nothing, it was very difficult hike. In fact in the life of my first major. Hole is chewed into the field, and I climbed up piece by piece. Sweating like a pig, but I had a goal! We spent the night at the cottage, on the bunk bed where I had a fear of falling down. Early morning after breakfast, we headed towards the top, the seat of the Greek gods. The road was incredibly steep and the climb was slow, but we‘ve reached the top, if not the highest, but now it underne-ath. That was some 2908th My nm ragweed was purely consumerist, a relic of the 21st century. (Maybe I should be ashamed, but not!) Yes. KFC

! On the way down I reached the last remnants of his forces. It was very challenging truth. Under Olympus have made himself a man and went to Thessalonica search KFC. We found ! It was in-teresting comparisons. Access to the customer the option menu variations, fries and coleslaw leading Czech, but there were spicy thighs and they were very good. Everything we ate at a gas station for a car. Long live the culture of dining. Another difference between Czech and Greek culture should be in stores. In Greece, on Sa-turday and Sunday are not working, even some cafes and restaurants have opened. It was inte-resting to compare Greece Macedonian border. In Greece, the city was asleep and it was an hour later and just a few kilometers further shops were opened at ten o‘clock in the evening and everyone happily entertained. At night we have moved to Macedonia and the next day regene-rates the whole body aching. Next week, it was only Macedonian and major regeneration. We discovered the beauty of Macedonia, tasted the local cuisine and enjoyed the quiet. On Thursday we visited Bulgaria, except the mountains there was not much of anything. Skopje was our aim to Saturday. And again we saw the mountains. I guess we have to think about. Well, Sunday was our last day. Monday morning ? Crocodile tears.

We are already looking forward to October. Longer order !

making a

webpage

Futu

Anyone who is using the World Wide Web knows

that it consists unimaginable amount of web

pages. Every day more and more businesses and

services move to the Internet. It’s easy to use and

accessible on almost every device. How are web

pages made? Let’s look it up in the example of

how a young company in Estonia does it.

by Gertrud Koima

In Estonian captal city is located a web marketing company named FUTU. FUTU comes from the word „Future“ and it means - For ultimate technology upgrade. FUTU was founded in 2012 of May next to an advertising agency, because nowadays most of advertising and marketing have moved to the Inter-

net. FUTU is a young company, but they already have a lot of clients, big companies like local tv station (http://kanal2.ee/), one of the biggest estonian furniture company chain (https://asko.ee/est/esileht) and ticket sale company (http://www.piletilevi.ee/eng). Some examples of small companies are wood export company (http://genetrade.ee/), real estate company (http://tondilinna.ee/eng/frontpage) and a furniture company (http://inin.ee/est/esileht). Also FUTU is the only one in Estonia who who offers VOD (video on demand), they made a webpage for renting movies online – www.vifi.ee.Workers in FUTU:• twosystemanalysts• foursoftwaredevelopers(programmers)• twoprojectmanagers• onedesigner• onetester.

Services that FUTU offers: web-page, e-stores, web marketing, portals, apps, campaign pages and everything what associate with the Internet.In general the work is in four phases: analysation, design, programming and testing.1. Analysts are making a webpage vision, functionali-ty list and a mockup scheme (Figure 1) according to clients wishes

Figure 1. Mockup scheme

2. The scheme is handed over to designer, who creates the visual side of the webp-age3. When the design is re-ady, then a programmer takes it to web shape - HTML ver-sion, a prototype that looks ready to use, but with no fun-ctionality (Figure 2)4. Programmers program all the functionality, content management and combine with the design5. Last step is to test the functionality and find any mistakes to be appear in the webpage.Project managers actively commune with clients. Eve-ry phase has to be approved by the client before going on with the next step.

Figure 2. HTML version and the final work looks the same, but one has not functionality and the other has, but it is not ob-vious to eyes.

Project managers actively commune with clients. Every phase has to be approved by the client before going on with the next step.Average working times on web pages are:• SmallwebpagestaketimefromtwoweekstotwomonthsSmall web pages are so called business card web pages. They consist in only content management, simple and minimalist design. This kind of webpage usually gives company’s contact information, services and some news, for example http://alternalaw.ee/eng/about-us. • Bigwebpagestaketimefromthreemonthstooneyear.Special solutions in another word big web pages are that offer specific solutions to client’s needs, like e-stores, product catalog, online buying and selling, for example https://asko.ee/est/esileht.

For Homeless People“UMUT DÜNYASI” KASARNA

Meğer hemen her gün yanından geçiyor-muşuz kasarna nın. Yolun biraz daha solu-na gidip başımızı eğsek görecekmişiz orada

yaşamaya çalışan insanları. Erken olmadı belki onları görmemiz ama bu çağda her şeyiyle “geç kalınmış” bir yer diyebiliriz Kasarna’ ya.

Kasarna; suan 22 haneyi içinde barındıran, ortalama 110 kişinin yaşadığı, ikinci dünya savaşından kal-ma bir kışla. Fiziksel çöküntülerinin yanında, içinde yaşayan insanların acılarını da taşımaya çalışıyor bura. Çatısı; bir kış mevsimini daha nasıl atlatabile-ceğinin derdinde pencerelerin camları yok. Bu; göz kapağı olmayan bir insanı getiriyor gözümüzün önü-ne. Savunması olmayan çeşit çeşit gözler.

Korunmak için bir naylon, bir kağıt ve ya bir kumaş parçası gerilmiş pencereleri. Şanslı olanların soba-ları var. Bu sobalar, içlerinde yanan talaşlarla Balkan soğuklarına kafa tutuyor kışın. Yazın ise çocukların bazıları yalın ayak ve yarı çıplak dolaşıyor. Her şeye rağmen çocuklar; kapitalist düzenin oyunlarından uzak, kendi oyunlarının içindeler neşeyle. Örneğin; duvarları karalıyor diye ellerine vurulup kalemleri ellerinden alınmıyor çocukların. Yetişkinler ise dü-nyaları kadar tepki veriyorlar her şeye. Mutlu ve te-bessüm sabihi insanlar görebildiğimiz gibi somurt-kan ve asabi insanlar da gördük burada.

Kasarna da ortalama 110 kişi yaşıyor dedik. ne mutlu bizlere ki; o insanların yüzlerce sorunundan bazılarını çözebildiysek.by Sermin Çetin and Semra Kurt

FOLLOW YOUR HEART

BUT TAKE YOUR BRAIN WITH YOU

Hello, my name is Emine Dikmen. I come from Ankara, Tur-key and I was EVS volunteer in Kocani, Macedonia . First of all, I hadn’t got any idea to participate in this kind of volun-

teer activities, but then one of my friends who by the way is my supervisor from Ankara University where I’m assistant professor at the faculty of History, talked to me about this project. He said me “please go and learn something new”. So I followed my heart but took my brain with me as well, and decided to go in Mace-donia. I know that the traveling experiences teach us as much as books do, so I prepared my suitcase and the next morning found myself at the airport in Skopje . As a volunteer in the Association “Pavel Satev” I did diffe-rent kind of voluntary work. One of them was to go to the local library where I was putting stamps on the book after that I was classifying them by alphabetic order. Also I was having everyday communication with the children and people who were coming in the library to borrow a book. I will like to say that I had good relationship with the librarian staff. All of them showed me how to do my work in the library and teach me little bit of the Mace-donian language plus how to read and write on Cyrillic Alphabet . Other voluntary work I did was to teach Turkish Language to children and adults who were having very basic knowledge of my mother tongue or didn’t speak at all. During my project in Kocani I stayed in the same house with volunteers who were from Estonia and the Czech Republic so by the everyday communication with them not only that I improved my English communication skills, but this experience helped me the opinions and feelings what I have about life to be-come much more clear to me. The most important thing for me personally is that I established friendships and contacts with pe-ople from different cultural background thanks to the travelling trips I made. At first I went to Skopje, the capital and diplomatic city for Ma-cedonia. There I met people from different nationalities who live there, for example: Macedonian, Albanian, Turkish, Roman... After Skopje I went to Ohrid which is one of the bigger towns in Macedonia and according to me Ohrid is adorable city. This lake was like dream to me and by my opinion Ohrid has gre-at touristic potential in the future. In Ohrid I visited the museum “Bay of the Bones”. It is a museum about prehistoric time and gave to me many information from the past. The other important buildings what I visited were the monastery St. Naum and the Church St. John of Kaneo. All of this historical places are beau-tiful and I most warmly recommend everyone to visit them one day. At the end of my project I learned a lot of new things for different cultures, languages, experience, people… I hope that I was teaching my students good and I succeed to presented on the right way many different things from my culture to the Mace-donian people and my volunteer friends. Now I know very well that the life is not a contest, but an experience!

Düşün EVS yapıyorsun başka bir ülkenin şehrinde seni hiç tanı-mayan ,dilini bilmediğin insanların arasına karışıyorsun. Sana “me-mleket neresi ” dediklerinde cevabın Türkiye oluyor. Ve kimsenin

sana “kimlerdensin” diye sormadığı bir başka diyardasın.Soyadın, hangi üniversitede okuduğun kimsenin umurunda olmuyor.Türkiye’de az çok bilirsiniz bir yabancının yaptığı her harekete “turist işte” der geçeriz.Bunu az çok bilen bir Türk olarak turist olduğumda aklıma ilk gelen “mahalle baskısı” sınırlarından çıkmış biri olarak biraz doğal olabi-leceğimdi. Turistsen arkadaşım öncelikle insanlarla iyi geçinmenin püf noktasını bil-melisin.Belirli başlı kelimeleri öğrenerek başladım.Merhaba, nasılsın gibi.Ama bunların yanında tamemen devrik bir şekilde o dili bilmediğinizi be-lirten bir cümlede öğrenin. “и така и така македонски јазик= Biraz biraz Makedonca” .Bu cümlenin çok ekmeğini yedim desem yalan olmaz.EVS yaparken öncelikle kendi fikrinizi hayata geçirebileceğinizi unutma-manız gerekiyor. Düşünün ve uygulayın. En önemli şeylerden biride EVS esnasında dillerini, kültürlerini bilmediğiniz bir çok arkadaşı yakından tanıma imkanınız oluyor.Bu gerçek anlamda sunulmuş en iyi fırsatlardan biridir. Eğer bu fırsatı iyi değerlendirirseniz harika arkadaşlıklar edinip onları,kültürlerini yakından tanıyabilirsiniz.Ve umarım bunu yaparsınız.
