Hey, I am Marko Pintarič, and I live in Slovenia.
I am 20 years old and I study Mechatronics engineering.
Since I was 17 I joined the Firefighter unit in our city and that was for me the first taste of volunteering to help people in need even if you don't know them and risking your life for them on daily basis.
At the beginning of 2020, I joined the Red cross-organisation of Slovenia, because of the Covid-19 case. I was volunteering in our Hospital and on the Slovenian – Austrian border, and I'm volunteering still on daily basis.
Coming to Turkey was my second Erasmus+ project, but first of this type. I really like the topics we are covering, and it gave me the different insight of people whit special needs, some of them were really helpful for me to understand the needs in positive and negative sight of disabled people. This is my third time visiting Turkey and I really like it, because of its rich history and culture and if I have the chance I will come back for sure.
