Think green, act red and read what you've missed :)

2008 edition of Youth Red Cross Summer Camp "Leaders for Tomorrow" was a great event, to benefit from superb weather, excellent participants and supportive partners and sponsors!

Between 3-10 August, in Rasinari, on Steaza Valley from Sibiu County, Romanian Red Cross Sibiu Branch and Colors Association, financed by Ministry of Youth - Local Department of Sibiu organized the 7th edition of a regular summer camp for youth volunteers.

This year, 50 youngsters between 14 and 35 years old, gathered together to learn how to be better leaders. They came from different places: Agnita, Bucharest, Hunedoara, Resita, Salaj, Tandarei, Tulcea and Sibiu to spend one week sleeping in tents, cooking by themselves and participating to interactive activities. The workshops challenged them to think and act, proposing different themes from ecological behavior and first aid to peer education and motivation to be a volunteer. The rest of the program was fulfilled by sports, games, a day program in Sibiu and social program around evening fire.

After 2 days of cleaning Steaza Valley from the garbage left by insensitive tourists, all the participants agreed that it's definitely better to prevent!

At the end of the project we would like to thank to our partner, Primaria Rasinari and to our sponsors: Albalact, Elio Prod, Extrasib, Simonis, Simpa, Tarpi, Toi & Toi, Metro Oil and Imperial Motors that help put our project into practice!

2009 camp is intended to take place at the beginning of August. Stay close, don't miss the news and don't forget: Think green, act red!
