Our NGO’s humanitarian actions to help children, youth and socially vulnerable families last throughout the year, with an emphasis on the increased number of beneficiaries and activities during the Easter and Christmas holidays. This year’s Christmas action collected, packed and distributed 184 food and hygiene packages and 40 clothing packages to those in need. The total value of the collected monetary and material donations is EUR €40,700.
Throughout the year, our NGO collects food and hygiene supplies and various other items and helps those who need it most with clothing, food, furniture and necessary equipment. The following items are collected: ready-made meals, rice, biscuits, cured meats, oil, pâtés, flour, salt, sugar, coffee, pasta, canned goods (fish, ragout), clothing, blankets, bedding, socks, sweaters, hygiene supplies. The actions were carried out in the areas of Varaždin, Krapina Zagorje, Vukovar-Srijem, Sisak-Moslavina, Istria, Zagreb, the City of Zagreb and the municipality of Novi Marof, in whose municipality, based on a tip directly from the field by our volunteer of the year, an electricity enumerator in Varaždin County, since last year (2023) we have an additional 12 new households (residents) that we care for, and these are elderly and/or infirm persons and families with several small children and difficult life stories of people living in inhumane conditions.
In addition to humanitarian work, we have been working on educational programs for children, youth and friends of the association for 20 years. The priority of building the “Bajka” picnic area in Veliki Gorenec has gained importance. Today, the program includes autumn, winter and spring educational gatherings and activities such as hiking, archery, shooting, cooking traditional dishes, mushroom picking, making furniture from old materials and pallets. In order to bring young people closer to nature and the way of life as it was once lived, and to teach them how to handle various tools. We currently have accommodation for 4+2, an outdoor covered kitchen, a workshop and a tool shed. Our life goal is to additionally build the association’s picnic area, which includes the construction of a Pub, a Hall and a dormitory with 20-30 beds.
