Volunteering in a kindergarten in Rezekne, Latvia, was a rewarding and memorable experience.

The small city’s close-knit community made me feel welcome from the start. Each day with the children was filled with joy, as their curiosity and energy brought life to the classroom. I especially enjoyed connecting with the local teachers, who generously shared insights into Latvian culture and educational practices. In return, I was able to introduce them to Armenian culture, creating a beautiful exchange of ideas and traditions.

This experience not only strengthened my teaching skills but also deepened my appreciation for the role of early childhood education in fostering cultural understanding and personal growth.
