Hey! could u halp with a motivation letter for volunteer organizations.I am awful in english grammer

Dear Sir or Madam,
First of all i would like to give some information about myself.I am Julia Gerda, a 19 year old Russian living in St. Patersburg . With this letter I would like to apply for participation as a volunteer in ***. I found your program in the database and I hope it is still active. I love the opportunity to volunteer for an EVS project at first sight, I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of it. I think that to participate in social work, in a project like this, is the best way to do something that really fits to me. I feel the need to grow as a persons, enriching my culture, language and learning from people that are working. Moreover, the opportunity of a EVS project in Europe will provide me with a huge opportunity of having international exposure and multicultural perspective.
In June 2010 I graduated from high school 506 with and was admitted in the Herzen Pedagogical University in St. Petersburg on the faculty of philosophy, where I'm studying cultural science. My future profession is cultural studies teacher at the school. This is one of the reasons, why I became interested in your project, here I can apply their knowledge and work with children.
In addition I would like to know more about other cultures, learn their customs and traditions.
I already have some experience with people of other nationalities. I took part in a school exchange with Germany in 2008-2009. This program has helped me not only to practice my skills in German, but also learn more about German culture and I found many new friends from Germany. I also had training as an assistant teacher of elementary grades in the German school in the summer of 2009, where I practiced my germane language and learned methods of working with children.
Apart from studying pedagogy and culturology, I study foreign languages. In 2010 I received an international diploma in German language (Deutsch Sprachdiplom, Stuffe 2,C1). Except the German language, I am fluent in English and learning Greek and Latin.
I also professionally interested in photography. In 2009 I graduated from the photo courses. In 2009 I also became a photography competition winner at Munich University.
I also have a high interest in organizing events, especially cultural events. In 2010 I helped as a volunteer in organizing an international film festival in St. Petersburg.
So in the end I would like to emphasize that very important for me to participate in this program because I want to learn more about other countries, to do something for others, as a future teacher to work with children, meet new interesting people to practice their English and also to travel and do a lot of interesting photos
My other activities and interests include listening to music, watching movies and spending time with my friends and family. I enjoy sports especially tanis. Reading is also an important part my life.
I am eager to meet new challenges and find ways to improve myself. I am ready to learn and I would be very grateful if you would give me a chance to contribute to this project.
I thank you for your time and hope for a positive response.
If you have any questions, please contact me via e-mail. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,......
