Stories
Once a mission you participate in ends, you can tell us how it went in a couple of sentences ("it was great" won't do).
It's simple: after the end we send you instructions - follow them. This way you earn points and rise in rank , others get inspired and we're all happy.

Бях ме супер добре посрешнати. Организаторите бяха много дружелюбни и ни обясниха с подробности с какво можем да бъдем полезни и как да помогнем. Дадуха ни нужните способия като гумени ръкавици и жилетка на доброволец. Атмосверата беше много приятелска и отворене. На тези мисии идват различни хора с всякакви професии и/или цели и е интересно да имашвъзможността да общуваш с тях.
През лятото няма много работа, но и малкото, което помагаме си заслувава.
