Matej Zámečník

Matej works in Bratislava. He came to Trencin for an hour, but Adrian’s friend, who called him home, didn’t tell him it was because of us.

Matej is a quality engineer in the automotive industry. Outside of his work, he is devoted with great enthusiasm to volunteering in the field of ecology or quality of life in the city. He was the one with the other source of the idea to save the cut-out ginkgo from the park at the railway station.

I knew that they wanted to cut the tree down, so that the monument would be preserved, we collected seeds around it, and the second year we grew up some seven hundred trees, and Matej said. Seedlings gave out around the neighborhood, and we got away with three. He wrote one of his books on ginkgo writing for children.

He built a herbal oasis, i.e. raised beds with herbs and a drink for birds in a school where they have two classes with autistic children. The oasis offers children experiences for all senses and contributes to training their attention. As a volunteer, Matej also settled book booths in a nearby kindergarten, founded a bee house in the city, built a dog training course under the settlement South. He regrets that the city has taken on some of the projects they have made in cooperation with him without even mentioning the civic association that came up with the idea and implementation.

In addition, she cooperates with a project of DARK octopus that travel to the hospital and enter the incubators of premature babies. They help babies stabilize their vital functions because their tentacles resemble the umbilical cord in the womb. The babies feel safer and are also employed by squeezing the octopus, so they don’t pull all the tubes introduced into their bodies, and Matej explains and adds that the book of Octopus for babies will come out in autumn.

He believes that the book will help the whole project to popularise and perhaps reach out to potential sponsors. The funds obtained could help families who care for premature babies.
