Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
I can teach Bangla and English. Want to learn French and Spanish. I can impart my basic (and practical) veterinary knowledge to anyone who's interested. For eg, I know how to cure maggot wounds or give injections to dogs and cats. I can share my movies and books with you (provided they are handled carefully). I can talk endlessly about movies and fiction with anyone who is similarly excited about them. I would like to learn how to prepare some basic cocktails and some simple vegetarian dishes. I can share my experience of working in villages (of West Bengal)especially those torn by political violence . Want to learn the basics of photography as well.
