Young Volunteers Make a Russian Riverside Cleaner and Greener
Saturday, June 13, 2015
Losevo, Russia—Several dozen young Russians spent a weekend caring for nature as part of an eco-tourism festival on the banks of the Bournaya River.
The festival titled "My Country—My Home; It's Nice and Cozy in It!" took place on June 12 to 13, 2015, in the village of Losevo in Russia’s northwestern Leningrad Region.
The project was organized by the group Youth for Morality, in conjunction with the Northwest Russia chapter of UPF, with the information support of the Done! project.
In two days, the young volunteers cleared debris from the favorite recreation places of many residents of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
In addition to the work, the program included whitewater rafting, team games, competitions and a “talent night” around the campfire featuring a guitar and singing.
The two days spent together featured friendly meetings, team spirit, mutual assistance, situations that helped one's character to grow, and a lot of positive emotions and impressions.
Such a collaboration of people and organizations benefits nature, society and the world, helping people to unite in a matter of moments.
With each project, our world is becoming cleaner, kinder, friendlier and happier.
