Voluntariat Moldova

Last Saturday, 17 EVS volunteers and 2 ADVIT coordinators travelled by bus in the early morning to explore Soroca, a beautiful city in the north of Moldova.

Of course, Moldovan placinte and Christmas sweets didn’t miss. Thanks to everyone for making such a great evening possible.
