Hi this is Kyra! 
I am the third volunteer and I just started working full time at the Eko Centar this week. My first job was to clean the fridge - good news for all visitors! Really, though, it wasn't too bad. Next I was put to the task of finding rocks. The Centar is building a low wall as a gathering place for people to sit on. The workers and volunteers are doing it all by hand and they are doing a fantastic job! The rocks helped level out the land so that the wall is straight. It's a big project but it will definitely add a lot to the Centar.
Check out the pictures!

You can see the steps to building the wall in each picture.

Looks impressive but they only let me do this for about 2 minutes before they took over again.

 
Happy Independence Day!
This is Lindsay and Kyra. Today we threw a party at the Eko Centar in honor of our American holiday. It was a big hit!
We made hamburgers and hot dogs, potato salad, watermelon, and potato chips for lunch. Classic Fourth of July foods. For dessert we had apple pie with vanilla ice cream- delicious! One guest told us it was the best dessert he has ever had. Not sure if that's true but hey, we'll take it! :) Then of course, we had to teach everyone the very tradition American game of Beer Pong. To say they loved it would be an understatement. Some of our guests were so happy we invited them to the party that they searched ALL over Mostar for t-shirts with American flags on them! After the festivities at the Eco Center, Ado was nice enough to take all of us to the River Bunica for a swim! The water was SO cold, it took us a few minutes to actually get in, but after a while we got so hot sitting on the bank that the icy water felt great! The day was super chill and it was a really great time, especially being able to share our culture with other people! We hope everyone in the U.S. had a great Fourth and we love all the pictures that are being posted on facebook! The one thing we didn't have was fireworks so seeing all the pictures is nice!
