In 2019 we did some projects in schools in Nova Bila, Vlahovici and Bijela Buce. We brought a lot of clothing and hospital material with us. We also had some projects in Travnik and in Karaula. Please click here to find our 2019 photos!
A new challenge
We came to Bosnia on three different dates: Arjen and Ciska on Tuesday, Jan on Wednesday and Ada arrived by plane in Tuzla on Thursday. A new Bosnian telephone number, a nice apartment for Arjen and Ciska and our regular pitch for the caravan behind the motel Carousel in Bila, near Vitez. After we were installed, we were able to align our plans. As always, the first days we stay for diner in Motel Carousel. The kitchen is very good so it is an easy choice. We'll decide later for the rest of the period. It was a great reunion with our friends. And we already made a number of visits during the first days!
Enough to do
After many years as volunteers working in Travnik, we found a nice project nearby our Motel Carousel. Here is a small village called Nova Bila with a Primary school. In this school we will replace the old floor with a beautiful new laminate floor. We are going to make Disney characters for a few schools in very small villages and attach them to the wall to make the schools a little more attractive for the children. We have bandage materials and among other things clothes and pajamas for the smallest children in the hospital of Travnik. And a lot of clothing goes to the village of Karaula.
The beginning...
On the morning of the first day we met with the principal of the school in Nova Bila and a number of teachers. Miran is the janitor and handyman. Then we went to the hospital with the necessary stuff for the pharmacy and for the children's ward. We had bandages, incontinence material, tube feeding and, among other things, diabetes equipment. We have brought a lot of clothing and also pijamas for the children's department. For the schools we want to paint various Disney characters on wooden panels. We already ordered the 250x125 wooden plates for the first day. Ada and Jan drove to Karaula where they brought a lot of clothes. Our POC Selka knows how to approach many poor families. In the school in Nova Bila the old laminate is removed by Jan and Arjen. Meanwhile, Ciska and Ada continue with the Disney panels. This will take a lot of time. We have twelve 2.50 x 1.25 panels on which the Disney characters are drawn. At the end of the afternoon three-quarters of the laminate is already in and the next days will finish this project. We also hang new LED panels in some classrooms and we do some paintwork on the walls. .
