Making a collage wasn’t an easy task for me, because it seems impossible to fit a whole year in one picture, so I made five pictures for every season + a bonus. (It’s not because I want to show off, it’s just my system of analyzing my year) And as you all know, my life is all about DOBRO and my organization in general, so it’s no surprise that all the pictures show our activities. On one hand, it may seem miserable that I do not have many memories outside extracurricular activities, but on the other hand, it’s a great opportunity to finally show you that what we do is not useless and we do a lot!

P. S. These photos are 1/10 of what we actually do, because it’s truly impossible to show everything.

Let’s start with winter, January and February.

  • My year started with the School of a Professional Teacher, when we were preparing for our Camp Counselors School. Dozens of lectures on how to motivate new people.
  • Then we had a cozy gathering to say goodbye to our old members of DOBRO. It’s called старикование.
  • We went to some school to talk to students about soft skills and career opportunities.
  • Visited trampoline park for fun.
  • Camp Counselors School started and I met my group for the fist time (from that point all of my Saturdays were filled with lectures and constant control)
  • Spring is usually the busiest season for us.
  • First quizz where we won a certificate for 1000 rubles an a bottle of champagne;
  • A cute performance with my students during “OpenMic” (Dora’s also here);
  • Our annual Drama Evening for the whole region;
  • Our annual gathering of counselors of our two camps (the best event of the year, we go there for three days to have fun and prepare for summer ((no alcohol!));
  • Our annual quest with a unique plot;
  • Our (yeah) annual camping (actually I hate it, because I’m all for comfort and sleeping in a tent for two days is not for me);

Summer!
Everything is simple: camp, kids, friends, forest, no sleep, no money, brightest memories.

Back to school, extensive work.

  • Agitation campaign;
  • Ecological quest;
  • 5 years of DOBRO;
  • and many other events.

These pictures were taken yesterday. We have 4 unions in our university that are united under one штаб. 2 unions of camp counselors, 1 of train workers and 1 of animators. Till this year we didn’t communicate in any way, but now we are becoming friends and I just want to leave these photos here to make a wish that we will stop fighting with RespekT and our unions will live peacefully.
