Presentation of a project about volunteering titles “Volontiranje je cool” (“Volunteering is Cool”) was held today at the International Center for Children and Youth Novo Sarajevo, with participation of 22 primary schools and 1,000 kids from six B&H cities.

During past year, with the help of their teachers and pedagogues the students have donated more than 100,000 BAM to their communities and worked over 50,000 hours as volunteers.

On this occasion, students from primary schools from Mostar, Stolac, Konjic, Goražde and Sarajevo presented their works and activities they have conducted in the past period, with the aim of improving the community in which they live through socially beneficial work.
