The spring has brought fourth our team spirit and
our will to realize our actions.

be as successful as the previous ones.

travelling opportunities, made new friends and

Do not be rotten
Statistics say that in Serbia, 8.3% of inhabitants
have all teeth, and 9.5% do not have any teeth.
Many problems could be overcome by proper
hygiene and to promote healthy habits is the
most important start in childhood.
Rotaract Club Beograd organized workshop
for 21 children of the home for children with-
out parental care Dragutin Filipovic Jusa. We
received donations of brushes which we gave
to the children and the workshop was led by
the dentist. The impressions were great.

of Beograd, Aleksandar Vraton-
jić Gligorijević, at a conference
in Zlatibor, presented his pro-
ject - a platform of Rotaract
clubs for better communicate
with each other.
The platform would avoid the
organization of the actions on
the same day and backfilling
mails. The platform is very easy
to use and it will begin to be
used very soon.

What you are looking at is a “Sun Halo”. These are
formed when sunlight or moonbeams are refracted by
small ice crystals. The formation of Halos is most
commonly associated with thin, high cloud levels, such
as cirrostratus cloud formations.
The 22° Halo is the most prevalent type seen - it is, as
the name suggests, a ring of light 22 degrees from the
sun (or moon). It is formed by hexagonal ice crystals.
As light passes through the crystal it is refracted twice;
the light is refracted when it enters the crystal, and
once again when it leaves. The two refractions bend the
light by 22 degrees from its original direction,
producing a ring of light observed around the sun or
moon.
