O njegovom iskustvu nakon provednih mjesec dana u Petrinji možete pročitati u nastavku:
Ovdje u Petrinju sam stigao prije 37 dana, od tada smo puno toga napravili, i u udruzi i u slobodno vrijeme. Prvo, došao sam ljeti, pa je manje aktivnosti jer su svi na odmoru, ali smo ipak mogli napraviti neke super stvari.
Prva aktivnost koju smo odradili bila je s Udrugom slijepih, gdje sam naučio kako se svakodnevno nose sa svojim invaliditetom, kako igraju igre poput pikada. S njima smo radili i aktivnost prepoznavanja mirisa i primijetili smo da su im ostala osjetila razvijenija u odnosu na nas.
Druga velika aktivnost bio je ljetni “Socijala festival”. Trajao je 2 dana, radili smo na dekoracijama i aktivnostima za događaj i sudjelovali u njima s ljudima koji su došli. Naučio sam organizirati prostor i pripremiti takve događaje unaprijed.
Potom smo se vratili u Udrugu slijepih, ali ovaj put na bazenu, organizirali smo male vježbe – aqua gym. Uglavnom sam naučio kako pomoći slijepoj osobi da pliva, kako hodati s njom i kako se ponašati s njom, bio je to sjajan trenutak.
Tijekom ovog mjeseca s udrugom smo odradili i nekoliko malih aktivnosti kao što su vježbe na otvorenom u javnosti za sve na tržnici npr.
Za kraj, u slobodno vrijeme radili smo puno dobrih stvari, poput posjeta Zagrebu, Ljubljani…, planinarenja u šumi, upoznavanja ljudi, naučio sam kako žive ovdje u Hrvatskoj, razlike i dodirne točke.
Druženje je jako lijepo i ljudi ovdje su nevjerojatni, nadolazeći mjesec bit će sjajan već sam siguran!

You can read about his experience after spending a month in Petrinja below:
I arrived here in Petrinje 37 days ago, since then we have done a lot, both in the association and in our free time. First, I came in the summer, so there are less activities because everyone is on vacation, but we were still able to do some great things.
The first activity we did was with the Association of the Blind, where I learned how to deal with his disability on a daily basis, how to play games like darts. We also did the smell recognition activity with them and noticed that their other senses were more developed than ours.
The second big activity was the summer “Socijala festival”. It lasted 2 days, we worked on the decorations and activities for the event and participated in them with the people who came. I learnt how to organize the space and prepare such events in advance.
Then we went back to the blind association, but this time at the pool, we organized little aqua gym exercises. I mostly learnt how to help a blind person to swim around, how to walk with them, and how to play with them, it was a great moment. During this month, with the association, we also did a few small activities such as outdoor exercises in public for everyone in the market place for example.
To finish, during our free time we did a lot of great things, like visiting Zagreb, Ljubljana…, going hiking in the forest, meeting people, I learnt how they live here in Croatia, the differences and common points.
The association is very nice and the people here are amazing, the upcoming month will be great I’m sure already!
