Grade 8 Community and Service Trip to Bresje

 

On Tuesday, June 3^rd our Grade 8 students visited the village of Bresje for the second time. We had already visited Bresje earlier in the year and the purpose of this vist was to clean up a local creek and spring and plant trees in an area to be used by the students of a local elementary school. Unfortunately due to the floods that hit Serbia in the past weeks, the cleanup of the creek was deemed unsafe. Nevertheless, we went on to the local elementary school and helped in the maintenance of the school yard. Our hosts in the Dilkic household were exceptional and we hope to come back next year with the new generation of Grade 8s when we will work on a bigger and better project.

Poseta CAS učenika selu Bresje

 

U utorak, 3. juna, naši osmaci su po drugi put posetili selo Bresje. Ove godine smo već jednom dolazili u Bresje, a svrha posete ovoga puta bila je čišćenje lokalnog potoka i izvora i sađenje drveća na mestu koje koriste đaci lokalne osnovne škole. Nažalost, zbog poplava koje su pogodile Srbiju u proteklih nekoliko nedelja, čišćenje potoka se smatra nebezbednim. Ipak, otišli smo do lokalne osnovne škole i pomogli u održavanju školskog dvorišta. Naši domaćini na imanju, porodica Dilkić, bili su izuzetni i nadamo se da ćemo se vratiti i sledeće godine sa novom generacijom osmaka, kada ćemo raditi na još većim i boljim projektima.

March 19th ISB CAS in Bresje

CAS Corner

Dear ISB Community,

 

We had a very interesting week of Community and Service, as we spent a day on a real farm in central Serbia. On Wednesday, March 19^th our Grade 8 students visited a farm in the village of Bresje approximately 80 km southeast of Belgrade. The purpose of our trip was to experience a day in a sustainable rural environment and think about ways in which we could contribute to this specific community. For the day, our students spent time working in the garden, tending to livestock, doing household chores and enjoying the beautiful, serene environment that Bresje had to offer. For some of our students this was a first encounter with a rural community. Our hosts were wonderful and exceeded all of our expectations. We hope to come back later on in the year and clean up the trash from a local creek. We would also like to extend our invitations to any parents or other community members that would like to join us in this project.

 

Sincerely,

Vladimir Stanojlovic

CAS Coordinator
