Welcome to Jordan! So we were met our guide at the Jordan airport .


Jordan is one of the most ancient historical places on Earth. Over the period of its existence, this country has replaced many civilizations, but has absorbed their unique features. Many monuments and relics of those years have survived to this day. Well, why did I go to Jordan? I spent a month there as a volunteer. And why in Jordan? Our university had 4 countries to go to serve and volunteer with children.And I have to go to Jordan, we have free-visa with Jordan for a month and I was a volunteer there and served children from Syria. We lived and served with a team in the Jordan capital city Amman. A city that is distinguished by its special painting. After 3-4 days when we prepared all our programs , we met with refugee children from Syria. They are so cute and "just like children" ...like angels.

In the beginning it was difficult to come to another country and be a volunteer and serve children. But after several days we were already accustomed to the children, were friends with them, even remembered their names. And the children also fell in love with us, told us their dreams for the future, and the time was wonderful .

Jordanians are very hospitable, and although most of the country's citizens practice Islam, they do not impose strict requirements on clothes, and you can speak with local residents in English. Jordan has a well-developed urban infrastructure, including roads. There we found friends and ourselves and they invited us to visit to exchange culture.

In addition to volunteering as we lived in the city of #Amman, we visited the Amman Citadel or Castle Hill. The #Romanamphitheater is also located in the city of Amman.   And we visited the ancient city of #Petra, considered one of the wonders of the world.

Petra is an ancient city built thousands of years ago. Petra is included in the list of new seven wonders of the world and the UNESCO World Heritage List.

#Wadi Rum First we got to the village of Ram by bus, then by jeep to the #Bedouin tent where we spent the night. And of course, with our own eyes we saw the rocks “the seven pillars of wisdom” Ancient #Jerash, #Madaba, with access to the #RedSea, the #DeadSea and the #JordanRiver. Swam in the Dead, Red Sea. And a few more places we went, but I don’t remember the names.



This is very cool when you yourself will visit those places where historical people used to live a few years ago. I`m very grateful to God for giving me such an opportunity to be a volunteer and to all the guys who were with me such an important moment. Actually, working with children and not only sharing love with them and giving them love is not a simple thing. We ourselves want someone to love us and ourselves want someone to serve us and it’s very difficult to do it ourselves.


It was a very big practice in my life, I want to return there again. To reassure those children as they became achieved their dreams, and to meet friends. Really miss~



P.S

I didn’t put a photo with the team and friends because I did not ask permission to insert a photo on the show, as well as many more photos.
