<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nADRA evenings about volunteering in the Philippines<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Volunteer Barborka \u0160i\u0161kov\u00e1 spent eight months working on development projects in the office of ADRA Philippines. At two ADRA evenings with the subtitle \u2018Philippines - Behind the curtain of paradise\u2019 in Bratislava and Ko\u0161ice, she spoke to the attendees about how during her activities she had the opportunity to get to know ordinary people who cherish their family above all else, who are selfless and warm-hearted, despite frequent natural disasters in their home country and persistent poverty among most of them.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Important work with children from Albanian communities<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Another ADRA volunteer is Veronika Zimov\u00e1. In the office of the partner organization ADRA Albania she is involved in the implementation of four projects - focused on working with children - with learning disabilities or from local minority communities. The country has grown close to her heart and although it is full of contradictions, it never ceases to fascinate her. Veronika is excited that the school year has already started and she will be heading out of the office and into the field again. We are already looking forward to her immersive activities back home in Slovakia.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We recently saw off another volunteer on his stay, this time to Georgia. This was again thanks to the support of SlovakAid, which finances the sending of volunteers to developing countries. Martin Pavelka will be in Tserovani together with the local organization For Better Future to support the social activities of internally displaced people (IDPs). Prior to his departure, he completed pre-departure training and an internship with us in Bratislava to better understand the principles of effective development cooperation, community development, ADRA projects, and working with people from different cultures, ethnic or religious groups.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We volunteer to the fullest and help at home, in Slovakia. And not just for one week a year! Young volunteers in Ko\u0161ice prove this by getting away from the computer, tablet, mobile phone or textbooks and actively participating in the Volunteering Week event. Our co-worker Peter Mi\u013eko from DC ADRA Ko\u0161ice enjoys the day full of selfless volunteer work and good deeds: \u201eIn the Care Facility at \u0164ahanovsk\u00e9 riadky we cleaned up the flower beds and part of the yard for the elderly who found their temporary home there. We thank the Ko\u0161ice-North Municipal District for offering us the opportunity to be useful and spend an afternoon working together.\u201c<\/p>\n Text: Boba Markovi\u010d Baluchov\u00e1 and ADRA team; Photo: Peter Mi\u013eko, Alena Horv\u00e1thov\u00e1 and ADRA team<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Na\u0161a organiz\u00e1cia sa dlhodobo venuje dobrovo\u013en\u00ed\u010deniu a budovaniu kapac\u00edt v\u00a0oblasti dobrovo\u013en\u00edctva, a\u00a0to rovnako doma, ako v\u00a0rozvojovom svete.
