Paper Collection Day

We got up early in the morning to come to school and meet everyone for the paper collection campaign. On the way to school we could see many bottles thrown all around the streets in Mostar. As we were prepared, we decided to collect plastic bottles on our way and then to send them for recycling. Once we arrived school we started cleaning the fountain from plastic bottles.
We then split up in groups and went in every house, knocked at the door and asked for old paper to recycle. I still remember the lines I memorized that day. "Stari papira za recikliranje" -with this phrase we asked Mostar's citizens weather they had old paper or not. Yes, the language was a little bit of a problem as we didn't have a local language speaker but we could understand their reply. Everyone was willing to give their papers to recycle.
By the end of our mission we turned to school with a large amount of papers. We knew that the paper collection company would be delighted to help us. We then went home satisfied and glad of our work. As it was a good day we decided that next term we will do another paper collection campaign. I'm really looking forward to collection paper again.
