OUR SMALL COMMUNITY WORK

While speaking about volounteering we agreed that it would be nice and valuable to do some work in local environment in order to make it nicer. While seeking for needs we found out a story about local wells. There are three wells that local people were using for drinkable water before pluming arrived. After that for some period of time none was taking care about it. A year ago, NGO Pozitiva Samobor started a journey to give those wells former glory. Therefore we decided to put some effort in that story. We took initiative with clear idea of making it cleaner and easier approchable. After collecting appropriate tools we left towards wells. As soon as we arrived a pile of trash was found near by. Half an hour later there was no more :)

Also we cleaned water path so water from spring can float and be nicer to fetch some fantastic natural water. Also surrounding was cleaned from leafs and big stones.

We also cleaned and widened path towards wells, so local citizens can approach them easier.

After all work was done it was time for some reward. So we collected plenty of fallen dry branches to bring back to Greenville for the nice evening enjoyment arround fire pit with guitar celebrating nature and out initiative. Good vibes that we felt is hard to describe so here our story will end but we hope we tackeld your imagination and woken up some will to do something similar in your own reality...

Entry level nutrition!

One of the most important things in our lives, that we love to underestimate, is our nutrition. Throughout the project we tapped into the basics, as it's something that anyone can simply understand and incorporate into their daily lives. Our bodies are complex biological machines and they need a plethora of various different types of minerals and molecules alike. For an individual to have a sustainable and nutritious diet, they need to integrate lots of vitamins, minerals and a healthy amount of calories. In our personal opinion, it is always a good idea to replace the overly processed fast food with many veggies and fruits, that you could even grow in your own personal garden! Veggies like cabbage, peppers etc etc, contain lots of vitamin C B and A, that play an essential part in our metabolic processes. Fruits can serve as a great substitution to overly sugared sweets, as they are generally lower in calories, and also bring along many minerals and vitamins. It is important to ha...

Tools used in the project

In order to achieve a remarkable result throughout some activities that involve people with a common aim , there have to be implemented some tools that would help in learning and understanding a topic, so that is why some magic tools are important for a project that provides sustainability, too. Furthermore, these are the ones used in our LLLS journey: Firstly, some icebreakers aka activities to get to know each other For example, making a circle with the whole group so each person, one by one, says his/her name and associates it with an animal and a gesture. Another game is the Clock game: the one that help people meet and discuss on a topic for about 3-4 minutes for every hour of a clock (12 meeting per general) Secondly, to start the team-building there is another activity by staying in a circle with eyes closed and trying to take 2 random hands and then untying the formed knot of hands connecting to the nature and learning more about what it means, what everybody is doin...

Getting your hands dirty and being in touch with beautiful, living plants can promote positivity for the mind, body, and soul.
