We are completely overjoyed to share the story of our very first volunteer, Tea Brnicevic, whose time with the Eco Valley Foundation has been nothing short of transformative. Tea, brought with her an incredible blend of talents and passions that have left an indelible mark on our community.
When Tea joined us, we had high hopes for the impact she would make, and she exceeded all our expectations. Her background as a dentist and yoga teacher combined with her artistic flair allowed her to contribute in diverse and meaningful ways. Tea’s involvement in our foundation was multifaceted touching various aspects of our operations and community activities.
Tea played a crucial role in enhancing our digital presence. With her asistance in digital marketing and graphic design, she helped us craft compelling narratives and visually engaging content. Her efforts ensured that our message of sustainability and ecological living reach a broader audience. This newfound visibility has been vital in garnering support and engaging more people in our cause.
Beyond her creative and digital contributions, Tea brought a focus on wellness to our foundation. She facilitated yoga sessions that offered our community members a peaceful retreat to practice mindfulness and physical well-being. These classes were a highlight for many, providing a much-needed balance and helping to promote a healthier, more harmonious lifestyle.
Tea’s impact wasn’t confined to visible activities. She was also instrumental behind the scenes, helping with event organization and administrative tasks. Her meticulous attention to detail and organisational skills ensured that our operations run smoothly allowing us to focus on our mission and expand our reach.
Reflecting on Tea’s time with us, we are filled with gratitude and pride. Her journey has been a pioneering experience for the foundation setting a high standard for future volunteers. The positive changes she initiated have laid a strong foundation for continued growth and community engagement.
As we look to the future, we are excited about the potential for welcoming more volunteers. Tea’s experience has demonstrated the profound impact that dedicated individuals can have on our community and mission. We are committed to building on this momentum, thanks in large part to the support from the European Solidarity Corps, which made Tea’s participation possible.
We encourage young people everywhere to consider volunteering with us. The Eco Valley Foundation offers a unique opportunity for personal growth, learning, and making a meaningful difference. We are eager to see how new volunteers will continue to shape and enrich our community building on the legacy that Tea has helped establish.
We hope that the next chapter of our volunteering program and the many passionate individuals who will join us on this journey will also grow themselves and contribute to our community. Together, we can continue to inspire and create positive change, one volunteer at a time.
The Valley of Knowledge project is coordinated by the Croatian organisation Ocean Znanja, hosted by the Eco-Valley Foundation and supported by the Croatian Mobility Agency and European Union projects through the European Commission’s European Solidarity Corps programme.
