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...

4Rs

Before reading this diary it is very important to define some terms about sustainibility, known also as the 4Rs - reuse, renew, reduce and recycle. Every one of them is a bit different and specific in its own way.  Renewing is repairing old things instead of buying new ones. For example fixing the old electronics, sewing up or fixing the clothing. Reusing represents repeated use of components or elements. It's about choosing to reuse the materials rather then throwing them away. We made small flowers from old clothing but with a little bit of imagination and initiative I am sure you could do anything you want. Reducing means decreasing the materials we are using on daily basis. Reducing use of water, car transportation, usage of electricity, leftovers, packages, plastic materials or clothing.  Many people don't know the difference between recycling and separating. Separating stands for dividing waste into plastic, paper and glass. Recycling is making things from materials that...

Samobor

Samobor is a city located in Croatia near Zagreb, part of our project agenda was to visit the city and learn things about it. We met in the moring and grabbed some snacks and also each of us had an orange that we were supposed to trade with someone for information about the town. We got to the centre through the wood shortcuts and there we started gathering knowledge while drinking coffe and enyoing the sunny day. The locals were friendly to share information so that we could complete our tasks to answer the questions given to us. Samobor has a lot of hidden gems like its famous dessert Crame Šnita and Razom the beer brewery. In the center of Samobor square is the Tomislovan Trg filled with beauful caffe bars. The name of Samobor river is Grabna. People of Samobor gather on Saturday on a bazzar that is called Samište.

Day 2 of the LLLs project

 We're on day 2 of activities and I think there is more that awaits us. In the morning we've done some energizers to wake us up. We took a walk in the forest and we've played something called deer and wolves. It was a fascinant moment, for it reminded me of a joyful time in the past. We were discussing about what nature means to us and what we can do to protect it. We were also taught that we have to live more sustainable so as to make our life easier and to be against of wasting resources. Everything is good so far, especially the meals. The staff is nice and my collegues also. I can't wait to learn about gardening 😜. I was obsessed with ecology when I was little, and seeing that we will learn about how to grow your own garden I can only be eager towards it.
