The second science fair in the first part of this year was successfully organized and gathered high school students from the very best Sarajevo high schools: Bosnjacka gimnazija, Prva, Druga, Treca gimnazija, and Dobrinjska gimnazija. As usually, Lecture Hall A was decorated with promotional material and stands were set up to represent the various programmes offered at our University. Some of our finest students presented school projects, literature and methodology of studying at SSST, while the band made the whole even event more cheerful. Science Fair is ENTER’s endeavor to appeal to a large number of secondary school students and get them acquainted with our university's educational program. Two more events of this kind will be organized during the spring semester.
On November 9, 2007, Enter SSST organized this year’s first charity event, called "Welcome party @ SSST". The party started at 21pm and continued till one hour after midnight. Two DJs and a lightshow amazingly added to entire atmosphere as well as two floors with the sounds of R&B, hip-hop and local pop rock music.
The entrance fee was 3 KM and all the raised funds from the tickets and drinks (approximately 1,000 KM) were to be donated sometime in the future.
Thinking of where to donate the funds gathered from previous charity activities, we felt that there could be no better place to start than helping those in need that are closest to us. This thinking resulted in the humanitarian deed of donating all the remaining funds (800 KM) to “Mjedenica” – Institution and boarding school for children with special needs. Following a meeting with the Director of “Mjedenica” - Mrs Sadeta Zecic, it was decided that 200 KM were to be used for buying sweets for the 75 children in “Mjedenica” and the remaining 600 KM were to be transferred to their bank account. We also arranged to pay a visit to the children and spend time with them at their school.
And so, on Tuesday, March 4, 2008, ten of our members went to “Mjedenica” with the sweets that were packed in 75 sweet gift sets. Spending just a few moments with these children was enough to see how little it takes to bring a smile to a child’s face…
Enter SSST aims to continue its cooperation with “Mjedenica” in the time to come. According to their words, next time we don’t need to bring sweets - just our good will and kind faces.
In the end, the photos from our visit to “Mjedenica” speak for themselves.
In cooperation with the altruist organization "DOBRO", Enter SSST organized a two-week charity action "Paketici za sve" (December 12th-26th, 2007) with the purpose to help socially endangered children and make the forthcoming holidays happier for them. Two boxes were posted in the school hall and SSST students and staff brought some toys, candies, clothes and other things. At the end of the second week, these things were taken to the facilities of the “DOBRO” organization, to be packed and distributed to the children in need. ENTER also decided to donate additional 300 KM (collected during previous charity events) in the name of this action.
