Istanbul Transit Visa

The story of a unique adventure: The BAFA

"Animate is to love without N and without hatred. .
That Lawrence, a trainer of my internship general, said when I started training BAFA in late June. I was not sure what I was getting, I thought that during the internship, we sat for a week, and that trainers spouting rules, laws, techniques ... NADA!

During my stage 1, I learned many things, including how to make a castle with a cardboard box for manual activities, I also learned to lead a vigil at the building, feed it. If I were to summarize the course of a technical standpoint, I would say evenings, games, construction, education.
But that's not all, there is also the exchange, team spirit and friendship. This training
create a unique bond between everyone in a few days, when I started the internship, I did not really such links could be formed in such a short time.
the last day, when they announce the verdict of the course, namely "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory", I realized it was over, and I certainly never see jamais une très grande partie des autres stagiaires, qui sont devenu pour la plupart mes amis.


Lors de mon stage 2, le stage pratique, je devais être l’un des premiers a le passé, la colonie de l’Aubette a commencé 6 jours après la fin de mon stage 1. Dans l’ensemble il s’est bien passé, malgré quelques histoires plutôt dérangeantes. Ce n'était pas le pays des Bisounours comme dirait Sophie !

Enfin voilà le stage 3, l’approfondissement. Quand j’avais la fiche d’inscription devant moi, j’ai rempli avec comme spécificité « grands jeux, veillées, animations festives . I mainly chose this one to the festive ambiance, history to use the equipment I already own.
The first day for those taking the bus, we had an appointment at 7am in Issy-Les-Moulineaux. It was 10.
Nobody has spoken of the whole trip. On arrival at the "pot of arrival" (hot chocolate or coffee) almost no talking. Then when
4 trainers, JP, Jean-Yves, Eli and Sophie we gather in a room for us to be this is where I said that ... it was really the BAFA. They
asked us to make drawings on a sheet of what we liked and what they disliked. The atmosphere was relaxed, we were all in the same boat.
When we moved into the rooms, we each took a bed, then looked at each other without saying a word. Then a brief review of the first names that I can not remember right now, it was more story to break the silence. It is
As for hours, meals, activities that one has discovered. During the first 2 days, with Tristan and I was pretty boys in my room.
Sunday evening I asked Jean-Yves, if I could change the group, and go into the theater. Done the next day.
I changed because I want to do theater for 2 years but I have no time, and Jean-Yves told me they would festive animation in both groups.
The first day of my score because I incarnated theater oak Oak and the Reed, or a character from the famous painting The Raft of the Medusa
... But I'm really broke at the time of writing, with all the theater, the evening show. The number of times it was going delirious avec Jean-Yves, notamment pour le spectacle interactif, celui où le public choisissait le déroulement de la suite, c’est lui qui a déliré sur les deux petit amis de Jennyfer qui deviennent gays et qui vont prendre une douche pour arriver trempés sur scène ! N’empêche, j’ai beaucoup ris.
Comme au stage général, j’ai aussi fait connaissance de personnes inoubliable, être en internat pendant 5 jours et passé beaucoup de temps avec des personnes qui sont là pour la même chose, ça créer des liens, des liens forts. Je sais bien que je ne reverrais pas tout le monde (à moins d’un « After » chez Jean-François !), car j’étais closer to some people than others, it's normal in five days, we can not create a great relationship with 40 people, but there are some people who stand out.
For once I start with the guys: Tristan, one of the guys in my room, one of the first people with whom I was beginning internship.
Christopher, the oldest of the course without anyone noticing, as he said, he took a shot of old, but it's a guy who is still young at heart and I do not ask myself the question of his age, for me everyone was the same age, that of lead.
Jean-François (JF for short) , he was part of the club of theater people, but like all theater people, he was very open.
Willy, also theater people, a little guy probably shy at first but was able to play its role as "woi" and "father of Jennifer" and her role as "sad clown". The savior of the evening went shopping, I have raved with him too.
For girls, there is first Pauline, the theater people, the blonde of the troupe, a girl who knows how to let go when necessary.
Marion, I would say the most crazy in the best sense of the word, that which does not head and making everyone laugh.
Julie , as theater people, perhaps the biggest mouth of all, one who wanted to live in the 70's I think ^ ^
Eleanor , the girl who takes her accent noble sometimes is laughing all the time who can not get a word when I talk (from it) is the Jessica group!
Anita , 1m48 personality, the smallest of all, the photographer of course, la mascotte, la plus petite fille que je connaisse qui est plus vieille que moi!
Nathaly , le clown, avec ses mimiques, elle me faisait rire pendant les sketches !
Rifaat , une fille que je n’ai pas beaucoup connue pendant le stage, mais plus après, une fille qui délire autant que sa cousine.
Gulshan , la cousine de Rifaat, une fille qui rigole beaucoup aux bêtises que je peux dire, que j’aime bien taquiner, que j’adore.
Et enfin Josépha , un petit bout de fille dont j’ai fait connaissance seulement 2 jours après le début du stage, et avec qui je me suis tout de suite entendu, on a beaucoup ri, beaucoup screwed up, I teased a lot for a little while, we had already told our life after the third day of training, we were on the same wavelength.

I did not quote anyone because I do not have much affinity with each of you, unfortunately, 5 days is short and I wanted to know some more people like Anaëlle, Audrey, Nelly, Anthony and others ... BAFA is one of the best things that ever happened to me being completely disconnected from your monotonous life for a week and be immersed in the community and sharing, it makes a world of good. I realize that now, when I'm at my computer, like almost every other day of the year, my life of daily routine, schedules, anxiety, boredom, has remained cloistered in Regardless, I regret almost 3 "Bon Appetit" yelled at each meal by Victorio ^ ^ ...

ULTIMATE So I say a thank you to everyone I have met during this exciting training, in addition to those set out just above, I speak also of those of stage 1 as Clemence, 2 Sandra, Eloise, Adele, Amanda, Danae and Jeremy. Thank you to the trainers, stage 1 as Lawrence that I saw during my stage 3, and 4 trainers of the course 3, Fantastic 4, 4 which complement!

Thank you all!

And I end as I began:
