A RETURNEE'S STORY “I met new friends from various countries, and learned a lot in working with people with a new perspective. And what I realized the most during my project was my ability to speak and my leadership skill are very well improved.” Hi, I am Winda Siadari, I am a final year student in my college. I went to Korea last December to take part in Global Volunteer. Global volunteering for me is a very valuable opportunity. Spending 6 weeks abroad while teaching is an experience that I won’t get anywhere else. The challenge of teaching children in Korea who don't really understand English is a bit troublesome, but I'm grateful to have many friends from AIESEC Korea who always help me to translate my words. The weather and culture of Korea, which was very different from Indonesia, was initially considered to be a barrier, but after feeling it I really enjoyed the time with winter and also I enjoyed learning a lot about Korean culture. Life is so short, also time passes so fast, grab your turn to join your project and change the world! Winda, Exchange Participant South Korea, Winter 2020
