About Projekt Duga

Project Duga translates to Project Rainbow, where the rainbow symbolizes a covenant as seen in Noah's story after the flood. It represents God's covenant with "every living soul" where everyone has an equal opportunity to live through His Life. Our project and its name have absolutely nothing to do with LGTBHKLMOP politics or any other political agenda.

Our project is located in "Kordun" (formerly Krajina), an abandoned region in the inland of Croatia, near the border with Bosnia. The region is characterized by the presence of minorities: returning Serbs, Croatian Muslims, and Croatians who fled from Bosnia after the war. It is a forgotten region, presenting a great challenge to work towards reconciliation and a bond of friendship. The project has been active since May 1999 and focuses on single seniors, children, and youth.

The project has its own campsite accommodating 30 to 50 people. It consists of three camping cabins, each with six beds, a sleeping loft with 16 beds, several caravans, a simple kitchen, and a café in a stable ("Café Bethlehem"). The campsite is maintained by local youth and children from "The Lion Gang" and by visiting groups.

History

Projekt Duga started in 1999 as an initiative of Dutch and Croatian volunteers from different churches. At the moment the project is mainly supported by the Evangelical Congregation Jonah in Ede, but volunteers are participants from different (types of) churches.

Spring in Croatia - 2018

We are in Croatia again. Spring break. In the spring we are always shocked on arrival by the tall grass.

Spring in Croatia means hard work and so far we have never actually written anything about it. Now it is. We are still here until May 12 (2018) and I will try to give an update on the work these days. Who knows, we might find interested parties who would also like to help make the project summer ready.

Mowing

Spring mainly means: mowing the lawn. But that means first of all repairing and refurbishing the tractor, the trimmers (edge mowers), the petrol push mower and the brushcutter. And that means every year being the first to do a round of shopping to get the parts together. Similarly this year. Spark plugs, gasoline, two-stroke oil, cutting line, tractor kit kit and a few other things. Of course it is also important to find sufficient help and that is very disappointing this year. This has to do with the exodus of young people. Young people leave this region because the region itself does not offer paid work.

After two days we mowed the grass around the house and I was able to mow the football field and around the log cabins with the pull. Remains everything around sanitary building, driveways, parking lot, and the rest of the 2 hectares of land.
