On Sunday, January 17, the young NGO Our action completed a five-day volunteer work camp of renovating the elementary school “Nikola Djurkovic” in Radanovici. In this first phase of the works, the focus of the works was the mathematics classroom, a large hallway on the lower floor of the school of about 150 m2, painting old benches, and painting the classroom doors on the lower floor of the school. The works included a large amount of scraping, smoothing and sanding of badly damaged and old walls, then the substrate and painting. 18 young volunteers aged 14 to 21 took part in the action, and students of the Faculty of Maritime Studies joined for two days.

The material for this activity was provided by the NGO Our action through the Youth Council of Kotor (Kotor Municipality), then the roofing material through the Directorate for Construction of Kotor and the rest of the needs were covered through funds provided by the NGO Our action through the European endowment for democracy. We owe a special thank you to Marijan Santic, who lent us the scales for working on high ceilings, and to all the teachers and parents who brought refreshments and donations in the form of food to the volunteers.

“This is the fourth school organized by the NGO Our action so that our youngest citizens have a better learning environment. In the second phase of the project, the biology classroom will be arranged and the school yard will be arranged. Now we are waiting for the caretaker to finish the roof of the classroom and library. with the material we provided because it is leaking now. Only then does continuing work make sense. We are still trying to provide bookshelves in good condition for the library because many of the leaks have been destroyed, as well as a map of the world the school needs. project Dejan Besovic. We invite everyone who is able to continue to help arrange the institution. It is necessary to fix the septic tank, to renovate the toilets as some priorities.

For the past four days, a small but strong team of our xtreme volunteers (Dejan Besovic, Filip Drobnjak, Slavo Bozovic, Matija Radojevic and Krsto Lalic) has supported the Blacklake xtreme triathlon Montenegro 2020 in Zabljak. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, there are far fewer competitors and even less need for more volunteers, but we hope that next year everything will be in full capacity again. Thank you to the team for their dedication and work. This is always a demanding event but also an amazing experience.

On August 17, 2019, NGO Our Action, with its more experienced volunteers from Kotor and Podgorica, supported a new sports competition in Montenegro – Bjelasica Ultra Trail. This event was first held and organized by young people from this area. In our desire to continue our practice of supporting new organizations, new initiatives especially initiated by young people, we were able to gather a support team and give a contribution in the midst of a very busy season. To the organizers, every word of praise at this first Ultra Trail Globe is an event that will surely have its long-standing foothold in the offering of events in Kolasin. As for the volunteers of our action, we met new wonderful people, a new terrain, enjoyed the Kolasin and Bjelasica, the need to have a fireplace in the middle of August, homemade pancakes, kacamak and a general atmosphere. Bravo Ultra Trail organizers, thank you Kolasin. #NVONasaction #NGOOurAction #YouthMNE #Blasicas #blasicsultratrail2019 # but2019 #ultratrail #kolasin #montenegro

From the 8th till the 12th of May, NGO Our action offered volunteer support for the fantastic Ocean Lava Montenegro triathlon held in Kotor. This is the fourth year in a row we are supporting this event full of splendid positive energy which for us has more than one dimension. As we are a NGO from Kotor supporting event that have such importance to our town is very important to us to not show of our town and it’s hospitality, but for guest to meet locals and make new and lasting friendships, and return for further competitions. Secondly it is of primary importance that our youth volunteers feel this energy, see how a well organized event is accomplished, how it is to work as a team, how people of various ages and with disabilities can do anything including competing, and much more. NGO Our action supported this event with 30 of their own volunteers from 8 different towns in Montenegro, and assisted in event organization and management of volunteers. We thank the organizers Marija and Igor Mayer on their unbelievable vision, work and dedication in continuously bringing fantastic events to Montenegro, and our town.
