“This is great, when will we be visiting again?” are the words of one of the 43 attendants of The School of Friendship that spent their Sunday, 21 November, at the Thermal Riviera of Ilidža. The attendants got to know each other better on that day, played in the water, spent time together. Even though most children knew how to swim, those who did not, learned from the volunteers who were in charge of them. Besides, the volunteers involved in The School of Friendship attended the educational workshops for working with children, held by the Pedagogist Alena Velagi? and Sister Magdalena Schildknecht, Psychologist and Pedagogist and President of the Narco-No Association. After swimming, the participants moved to the second area of the Thermal Riviera Complex. In the tropical garden, a karaoke show was organised, with awards for the best singers. While some were ashamed and lacked courage to step in front of the audience and sing, others held the microphone like actual professionals and bravely sung their favourite songs.
The free-of-charge entrance to the Thermal Riviera for all 43 attendants and 13 volunteers was provided by the management of this socially responsible company that takes care of youth. Their staff was at the disposal of both the children and the volunteers at all times. On this occasion, we thank them on behalf of all the children that walked out of the Thermal Riviera of IlidĹľa that day smiling, happy and with new friends.
