Environmentally- friendly summer camp “Hand to Hand

Our first project is the building of a summer camp for orphans, children with special needs and those of poor economic conditions of all ethnicities in Kosovo. Initially, three languages will be used in this camp: Albanian, Serbian and English, and others will be added accordingly.

The camp will be functional from the 1st of June to the 1st of September, every year.

During these three months there will be exchange of volunteers, local and international.

There will also be fundraising for scholarships for the children in the camp.

During the remaining nine months, the camp can be rented from Embassies and other institutions in Kosovo for different purposes: trainings, conferences etc. In this way, the money from the rent will be used for the camp to be self-sustaining.
