This year, we are celebrating
Peace Corps being in Moldova for 20 years. And one of the many celebrations we’re
doing is Turul Moldovei, a walking tour across Moldova. There is a group of
volunteers starting in the south and another group starting in the north. Each
group will walk for two weeks towards Chișinău, where both groups meet in the
end for a big celebration.
Each day, the groups visit a
different town or village. And today, the north group stopped in Criuleni. Over
the past couple months, I helped organize their stop here. I worked with UNIT,
the youth center here. We had a tour of Criuleni’s culture center as well as
the town’s museum. Then we had a round table discussion, where we talked to
town members about volunteering. Afterwards, we had dinner at a local café
before heading down to the Nistru river for singing songs and playing games. We
ended the night back at the youth center with more games. The next morning, we
had breakfast at the café before the volunteers started on their walk to the
next town.
