20 HOURS
I spent several hours during my summer vacation on work with Red Cross. I was very interested in collaboration with this humanitarian organization. Firstly, I called them to set up a meeting. At the meeting, we discussed about many voloneer works that Red Cross has. On the 12th of July we went to a children's camp in a poor town Bijela in Montenegro where we brought clothes, food and movies to watch with the children. It was a really amazing day. We also spent few hours of teaching them few basic things on the computers, like using Paint, Word and playing games and music.
We came back the next weekend with more volunteers to cheer up the kids and we got to know them and promised them to come back as we did. I also contacted Red Cross in Paris, where I was able to donate clothes and books as they had a certain group of volunteers that was of full capacity, but I did my part by visiting them and donating clothes as well.
