Hi dear friends!

We are Dimitar and Dobromir from Bulgaria. We are really happy to be part of the project’’ PLAY, BE FREE!’’

We had an unforgettable week in Lowicz, because we met so many new friends from Poland, Czech Republic and Italy.

We arrived on 15th May at Warsaw airport.

Weronica and Artur met us at the airport.

Later, the groups from Italy and , Czech Republic arrived too.

We went to Lowicz by bus. At last we arrived in the town.

All the boys and girls from host family’s were there. The teachers from Lowicz school were there too.

The first day, 16 May, we visited school.

All the children from school welcomed us. Then we went to a big gym and watched a traditional dance called Polka. All the children,partners of the project Play Be Free! got gifts. Then we went to the Town Hall. It was perfect! We saw a mayor of Lowicz and Bulgarian group give him a T-shirt of Smolyan. We came back to have lunch in school canteens. It was very delicious. Then we had a game (Find Treasures) in the center to find some famous buildings (Gallery, Museum and cinema). We went back to host family’s house .

The second day, 17 May, we had a trip to Maurzyce museum. We had lunch in school canteen. Later we visited Lowicz museum. It was nice! After wards we went to school disco. It was very fun and emotional! Then we came back to host family’s house.

Then we went back to host family’s house.

The fourth day, 19 May, we had a trip to Warsaw. We visited many landmarks and monuments. Some of them were museums- of science and culture- Old town, Royal Castle, Monument of Adam Mickiewicz, Monument of Warsaw Hero, Museum of miniatures and any more.We bought souvenirs form Old town.

We liked Warsaw Hero monument because a girl of group said, “I will defend the city from evils.”In the museum of miniatures there were very beautiful miniatures, famous buildings too. Then we went to mall and had lunch there.

That day was really great!

The latest day, 20 May, we went to school. We played game with our presentation artists. Then we presented our things from workshop. We played football, volleyball, basketball in the gym. Then we had lunch in school canteen. Then we painted pictures in the classroom.

Next we visited a country house- 15 km away from Lowicz.

All the children were a little sad because the next day we shoud leave from Poland. We had a camp fire there and played and sang a lot ! We ate sausages roasted into the camp fire. It was exciting! The children said,”Bye-bye” each other. On the 21st May we waited a bus from school to go to Warsaw airport.

Thanks polish students, families and teachers for hospitality. Thanks everyone who gave us the opportunity to know new countries and cultures. Great thanks to our teacher, Mrs Dafinca Nikolova, being a part of this lovely and unforgettable project!
