Hello! Welcome to the Wild Vibes recap. Since February 2025, we hosted 7 young people for 3 months and more in Mrachenik, rural village in the Sredna Gora region. All working together to renovate an old school into a volunteering and training center while connecting with rural life and locals.
We currently have two volunteer staying for 6-12 months and nine others staying for 3 months this summer!

Wednesday was another day of work, during which we continued our efforts, pulling weeds and restoring the wood. The results are becoming apparent little by little as the workdays go by.
However, we also have some less positive news. Some volunteers began to show signs of illness, and the best thing they could do was rest their bodies and minds so they could recharge their energy and return to physical work with renewed strength. Those who were feeling well took care of the volunteers and took steps to prevent the spread and worsening of the virus that has decided to visit our village. They created new schedules for the cleaning and kitchen teams and set up a space for all of us to rest safely. Despite the social distancing measures, I believe this challenge will bring us closer together as a community and strengthen our work.
So, the afternoon was spent recovering, and tomorrow will be a day of rest. We’ll be back soon with more updates!
