Date offoundation: 26 November 2011 Location: Croatia – Rijeka, Pula Members: 34 Regular meetings of the community: twice a month Volunteering: once or twice a week
Three groups inourcommunity 1) those who work with children and youth
3) Those whoparticipate in different creative workshops (we produce rosaries, greeting cards, cookies etc.) using the products for self-financing
Ourspecificactivities • 1) We animate different workshops and meetings for our juniors (elementary school kids)
We volunteer at the shelter for the homeless led by the Sisters of Charity in Rijeka
We organize projects in which we raise money for those in need and also collect food, clothes etc. for the poor
We participate in different creative workshops (we sell the hand made articles)
Through this yearin VMYwe have learned: when you work together, even the toughest job passes quickly and we have fun in it
Working with the elderly, the young, and learning about homelessness has opened our eyes towards a new way of thinking about human life and people in need.
VMY is a fruitful path that allows us to come to know God and to know the Virgin Mary.
