HEYYYYY AIESEC...

First I want to start saying I love Finance Power Team!!!

Last weekend we had in Madrid 8 wonderful people expended two complete days learning and practicing finance, that's the spirit ¡Finance spirit!... yeah yeah we have spirit

Thanks Bea (ZA), Carmen (CZ). Jose Carlos (SV), Pedro (MA), Zubi (GR), Angel (UCM), Dayana (VD) and Jose (BE & ENAF) for all your passion and commitment, for me is really important you can see the relevance of finances not just at local level but at national and personal level; I love when you can see things clearly and you can find the way to your development. Since national office in Madrid, I will keep working with Jose to provide you all the support we can.

Also this has been a learning week for me. Everything started with the external audit preparation. All the work sheets, bookeepping, invoices and of course the environment was really strange; but today after three crazy days the external audit finished and I want to share with you this words because for me is a pleasure to work and contribute to the AIESEC in Spain growth!!!

I'm sure If we (all those who are part of the organization) work continusly and hard by the end of the term the result wil be reached.

P.S. I want to share with you my secret to work under pression and to control the stress :P

Bye bye Barcelona

What a crazy time... after two weeks in Barcelona I'm back in Madrid and already missing the LC-feeling I had the opportunity to live with UB, Pompeu Fabra, IQS and Bellaterra. But I have to go back a bit and tell you about what happened after I finished the coaching with UB.

First of all, thanks a lot to the other three LCPs (Cris - Bellaterra, Ali - Pompeu Fabra and Pepe - IQS) for their hard work, their cooperation and openness, and especially for making me feel so confortable and welcome in Barcelona!

So what happened after I left the "Universitat de Barcelona"? First of all I spent a weekend at Alicia's place and with the newies of Pompeu Fabra because they had their assessment day. Congratulations for organizing and facilitating such a thorough and complete assessment center for the potential members, we saw some amazing talent there!

At the same time, Pepe was doing a great job at IQS - imagine working without an office, having to convince the dean and the professors that they should support your work and getting a bunch of extremely ambitious people to be excited about what AIESEC can offer them. It was a challenge and it still is, but the energy and conviction Pepe puts into IQS was really inspiring.

And last but not least, living the Bellaterra-Feeling! :-) Reviewing their planning, giving information on feedback principles, discussing the kind of culture they would like to see in the LC and being able to use their spacious office as a working space. I also had the luck to spend time with each and every one of them personally, really incredible individuals and I can say that I learnt something from each of them. Thanks a lot as well to Cris and her family who took care of me like a real family, curing my cough and bearing with my constant coming and going, thanks a lot!

As you can see on the pictures, some of the LCs in Barcelona had support from a very famous Alumni, Dey, who's currently living in Barcelona shared his AIESEC story with the Newies and definitely left an impression on them, judging by how many mentioned his experiences later on.

And that's how two weeks working with four committees come to an end, thanks a lot to all the AIESECers in Barcelona and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again,

Petonets, Sarah

My last but not least LC visit

Finally Granada, beautifull city, great people, and an amazing committee.
After 1 hour by car from Malaga, (thanks Palomeke) I arrived to Granada, after being lost like 30 minutes (GPS not working) we saw the faculty and the committee, and a group of amazing individuals were waiting for me.

I really get surprised with the passion, commitment and the environment these girls are living.
We set the goals of the LC visit and we worked very hard to fulfill them. Take a look to all this girls working.

The pink (or green, Tami understand me) committee didn't disappoint me.
We work but we get fun too, thanks for planned this visit to Granada, it was simply amazing.

I also got some unforgettable memories, I really want to say thanks to all this people, thanks Ceci, Kenza, Zoubi, Tami, Anna for make me fell part of you.

After two weeks, the LC visits finished but I'd got a lot of memories and I'll never forget any of these cities and any of this people.

¡¡¡¡THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
