Lechovo Local Community

My project doesn't have a logo, so I uploaded a drawing I made of the church here.

The project is in Lechovo, a village in the north of Greece.

February 2022-February 2023

Since this project is very new, and I'm the first volunteer to ever be in Lechovo, it is still in development. The first few weeks I worked in the local library to help catalogue a english book collection. After that I started to work on gathering information about the community and write about this. Soon I hope to also write and research more about the history of the village. Lechovo is a so-called Martyr Village and has a very interesting past.

I have a lot of people around me. Since it's such a small village, I'm in contact with most of the people that live here. Besides my mentor, greek teacher and tutor, I am basically adopted by a Greek family. I often talk with grandparents, since many of the older generation have worked in Germany and it's easy with them to communicate. Or with the younger people and their struggles.

I love the fact that I really became part of the community here. Everybody is so welcoming, and it's just such an amazing experience to live in such a strong community. To learn more about their culture and their traditions. It's very special to be part of that.

In the coming weeks I will work on setting up a website of the project as well, so when that is ready I will publish it here!
