We finished collecting clothing, footwear … for children and adults in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, India. This weekend we were sorting, packing, and recording them. We are preparing the packages to be sent out.
We would appreciate notebooks, schoolbags, and children underwear. Contact us at 040/613-373, 040/318-290.

I'm thinking how our world is unjust and divided. Some people live in excessive luxury, surrounded by nice cards, houses, clothing. Also average people have enough. How many coats in our closet, how many nice shoes.
And despite our spring cleanings, we still have many old, but nice and useful things in our closets, which would satisfy many a man; some mother would be happy to save money.
I'm not ashamed to take a second-hand thing, if I like it. To make room in my closet, I give away one of my clothes. And everything goes around and circulates; someone helps me, I help another person, we do good for humanity, and less good for merchants.
But probably not everybody thinks like that, and to be honest, I occasionally wander into a shopping mall to get new trousers, shoes, etc. You see, we have everything – talking about material goods, of course.
Imagine how little some people have.
Let's be thankful for what we have, and let's not be selfish, working only for our own good; let's have compassion for other people.
We first visited Dječji dom (Children Home) "Mladost" Bijela in September this year. We met the management of the organisation, as well as children.
Upon our return to Slovenia, we started collecting school requisites. We linked up with the head of Primary School Lava, Ms Marijana Kolenko, in Celje, and with her help we collected schoolbags, notebooks, crayons… We also collected numerous clothes – from underwear to coats for the youngest, as well as for older children.
Representatives of our organisation handed everything over, to the joy of children and the management. We had a meeting to discuss other collaboration possibilities. We agreed to sign a collaboration agreement.

Representatives of "EkoAltVindol" ( Ayana Pešec, Branka Laznik, Nevenka Mulej) continued the journey to Montenegro.
First, we visited Sarić family in Nikšić and delighted Mrs. Darinka with a wheelchair.
As her knees are severely worn out, her living space was up to now limited to her room. Now, her son and daughter in law with children, who take care of her, can take her to other rooms, as well as outside, and enable her a better quality, fulfilled ageing.
The wheelchair was handed over to her son Vojislav.
Mrs. Darinka will use the wheelchair for as long as she needs it.
