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.

Целта беше да се отделят подходящи зеленчуци от такива, които са за изхвърляне, за да бъдат раздадени на читалища, църкви и други институции, които готвят за бедни и бездомни хора.
