🏢 About the local organisation
Obrenovac is one of the 17 Belgrade municipalities. It is named after the royal family Obrenovic, whose summerhouse and library are still there. It is surrounded by three rivers, with a recreational area and a spa. Obrenovac is proud of its rich cultural life. In May 2014 the town was severely flooded. In some parts of the town the water remained for more than six weeks. The damages were terrifying. Our five workcamps organized since gave great results as the volunteers were helping families in the renovation of their homes. Dozens of homes were renovated. The host of this workcamp for the past six years are Youth office of Obrenovac and Obrenovac Youth Foundation. They say now it is time for something different.
