💧 Odobren nam je važan projekt „ZAJEDNO za sedam rijeka“ – ostvaruje se davno postavljen cilj! 🌿

Imamo lijepe vijesti! ❤️

Na natječaju dm-a u sklopu inicijative „Žar za budućnost“, među 242 prijave i 30 odobrenih projekata, našao se i naš volonterski projekt „ZAJEDNO za sedam rijeka“!

A što ćemo raditi?

Na izvorima šest kninskih rijeka te na „sastavcima“ kod rijeke Butižnice organizirat ćemo akcije čišćenja okoliša, posaditi stabla autohtonih vrsta i postaviti sedam trajnih edukativnih ploča kojima ćemo označiti izvore i upozoriti na važnost njihove zaštite. 🌳💧

Ono što još više veseli jeste činjenica da su ideju za projekt nas "starijih" u udruzi mladi međunarodni volonteri projekta NEDS samostalno razradili i poslali na natječaj! Ima nade!

Hvala DM za podršku, hvala volonterima ❤️

Did you know that a small change can make a difference?

To help reduce the use of plastic bags, we decided to give simple cotton bags a new life — and make them a little more special. 🎨❤️

Each bag was hand-painted by us, the volunteers, with lots of love and creativity. ✨

And the best part? They’re completely FREE! 🤍

You can take one home and reuse it whenever you need it. And, of course, you can also use it to carry the things you find here: clothes, shoes, toys and other items, both new and second-hand. ♻️

Because when things can be reused, shared and given a new purpose, we all benefit. 🌍

✨ See a bag you like? Take it with you — it’s free!
And don’t forget to reuse it again and again.

Hi everyone!

My name is Julieta Punsola Ramos and I come from a small town in Catalonia, Spain, known for its love of partying.

I studied Humanities and Social Sciences in high school, and before starting university and following the path that most people choose, I decided to take some time for myself to get to know myself better. During that time, I came across this wonderful project, which works in many different areas that I personally find very interesting.

And that’s how I ended up here in Croatia, far away from everything I’ve always known, but excited to learn new things and, above all, to contribute with all my skills and abilities to help others.

So, this is where a new journey begins, and I would love for you to follow it with me.

Olá!
My name is Beatriz Rosário, and I’m a volunteer from Portugal — yes, the country of Cristiano Ronaldo and the famous “SIIIM!”😂
I come from Almeirim, a small town known for good food and drinks and its traditional stone soup! 🥣
I have a degree in Accounting and Administration and a Master’s in Accounting and Business Taxation. However, my dream is to pursue a PhD and become a university professor.
Earlier this year, I decided to challenge myself and explore new experiences. After taking part in an Erasmus+ project in Portugal, I discovered how much I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and learning through new experiences.
I chose NEDS 3 to bem y first experience as a volunteer because I love that the project combines environmental protection, community involvement and education. I’m excited to learn, develop new skills, share my ideas and hopefully make a positive difference along the way.
I’m very happy to be here and can’t wait to start this new adventure in Croatia!💚
