Hello, I am Ahmet Emin Yılmaz. I am 20 years old. I am studying Computer Engineering at Erciyes University. I participated in the project "I'm Sports+ Volunteer" in Sorgun in September as a volunteer. The main objectives of this project are to bring young people who do not do sports due to Covid 19 into sports, to teach young people the importance of sports and physical activity and to encourage healthier lifestyles, to make sports accessible to everyone regardless of their background, to equip participants with solid practical knowledge and skills to do sports. 

Before participating in this project, I was a person who did not move much in daily life. With this programme, we spent a month in a more fit and active month with our volunteer team by participating in various sports activities such as volleyball, badminton, bocce, football, rafting, hiking, orienteering. In addition, with English, Italian and Turkish courses, we had the opportunity to teach something to both our foreign friends in our team and the incoming participants. 

In this process, we had the opportunity to socialise a lot by making new friends. In addition, under the coordination of Selahattin Ciritci, we received a training on who is a volunteer, what is volunteering, who is a youth worker, which I think was very useful. I would like to thank Sorged and Halil Uğuz for providing these opportunities. I would also like to thank my friends Alperen, Fabio, Matteo, Meryem, Rüveyda, Lorenzo, Mary, Merve, Gamze and Ahmet, with whom we spent this September very well.
