The
park is an instituiton that promotes many cultural events and
volunteers are very lucky: they can help in the organisation
and...take part in them! So that’s what I do: I join every event, I
take pictures and I am ready to help if needed.
The
1st of May was the case: the park, together with the library,
organised an excursion along the border between Lithuania and Poland
during the period 1919-1939 to remind and talk about that hard moment
in the lithuanian history. The borderline was passing trough
villages, dividing families and friends
.
Crossing
the line was very difficult, but some lithuanians found a smart
strategy: as Polish were very religious, they would have never doubt
the good intentions of men of faith. Lithuanian traders dressed
therefore as a priest and his driver! This way they could pass from
Lithuania to Poland and were able to sell theri goods.
The
event worked very well: a good walk in the nature, with some stops to
remember the past. I enjoyed the day, the nature, taking pictures and
the company. Indeed there was the park staff and also some volunteers
I met at the on-arrival training. Because, yes, the Evs gives you
also the chance to meet many great people!
