Description
This is Claudia, volunteer, world citizen, mother of two amazing young ladies, English&Italian teacher and translator.
I would be honoured to offer my tiny contribution to valuable projects. I am hard working and versatile, and available for any tasks, from teaching (my main qualification and experience) to house chores and community services. Volunteering is, to me, a way of being. Life has taught me that giving is gaining, and that what’s around you is not outside of you. I have an environmental spirit, reaching out (not so much humanitarianism) makes me feel whole, I possess the most unwavering faith in good vibes and positive people, and I look at the world as full of wonders and endless discoveries.
I truly hope to find hosts that are not age-prejudiced. Unfortunately, prejudice always manages to find new outlets, age included.
