Lucas stayed for his « European Voluntary Service » six months in Uganda. He worked in a school with three other volunteers form Germany, Italy and Romania.
He decided to make a SVE, because he wanted to learn english. His english was not very good and he thought that some skills in a foreign language won´t be bad for him. So he decided to do an exchange for about six months to make some progress in english. Of course he was also interested in discovering a new culture. Finally, the project itself was also fitting.

Some advices from Lucas:
- Prepare yourself and get your inscription as soon as possible to make a reasonable choice and to be sure that you really want what you are going to do.
- Do as much as you can do inside your SVE to get out a maximum.
- I recommend a SVE to everyone, because it´s a rich experience that can teach you things you never learned before.
