This volunteer project

Hello the world! It has been two week seens my lat message here and all this time i was (and i am) in my volunteer project, near small spanish town Aranjuez. This project is very different from anything ive ever done. This place is a rehab center for people with AIDS. I cant say that work is very hard, but it is quite hard mentally to stay here: be surrounded by this people and to feel guilty just because you have normal life - this is hard, but i am very happy to be here, to do all this work. Also every person in this center has its own story, and when you know it you understand that your problems are so easy to solve. It is very strange place, it is like another world, where people try not to think about reality and live in a perfect socialistic community. Is it good? Yo no se, but this is it. 
As it is a volunteer camp there is an international group of volunteers here: 7 amazing people from all over the world with whom i am happy to share all this experience. Here we are doing many different types of work: cutting vegetables, cleaning, washing clothes, helping with disables and of course cooking (my favorite one :) Also a lot of other people work here, lie EVS volunteers, or former residence of the center. 
This project is really amazing, it is an opportunity that only some people are willing to use, it is a very important experience for me. But if you ask would i like to cme back here i wont be able to answer you, because, as ive already said, it is very hard to stay here with all this people, to stay with them and to know that after two weeks ou are coming back to the normal life, while some of them never can do the same.
