Why wouldn't I do that when I have time and I have the capacity
From Grandma, who takes care of the roses in front of the panel, we’re going to see another person. He takes care of the bushes outside the side entrance. A small act that beautifies the surroundings. We will visit the award-winning Adriana at work, where he is responsible for the logistical provision of the various components of the Ministry of the Interior. Once we find out what the neighbors don’t know about her.
For Adriana Blacksmith, volunteering is a way of life. Cutting shrubs in front of the house and participating in events promoting good neighbourly relations is a small thing. He’s been involved all over town. It helped build the first dog track under the settlement South or rescue the ginkgo that had been cut off in the park at the railway station by collecting seeds with volunteers. The small seedlings were then distributed to people in Trencin to preserve the trail of this precious tree in the city. You can also meet her in the city as she collects garbage with the homeless and puts soup under the bridge every third Saturday. She’s also agreed with friends and friends that they’ll go clean the house for the disabled next week. The day after our visit, she was going to the hospital, where she would bring a octopus – knitted octopus for premature babies, crocheting along with a bunch of older ladies. The project was created in kindergarten, where he and his friend installed book boxes a while ago. In the next school, they started a herbal oasis for children with autistic spectrum disorder. Another joint project was the apiary with city bees, which built opposite the aforementioned dog track. She was also involved in the Voluntary Civil Protection Association, where she was in charge of child education. He also teaches this topic to students in college.
Helping people and enhancing their environment is considered a natural way to exist. Why wouldn’t I do that when I have time and I have the capacity to do that? She said and added that she spent four hundred hours volunteering in the first half of this year.
