Last weekend, Foundation Second once again organized a trip for a group of girls from the Bjelave children’s home to Ledići, a place that is increasingly becoming their refuge filled with laughter, play, and a sense of belonging.

Nature, peace, and togetherness once again filled the day with beauty and brought moments that will be remembered for a lifetime. This time too, the director of Foundation Second, Belma Mujezinović, received great support from the teachers of the Bistri izvor Association, Anisa Jusić and Rukajja Alić. Special warmth was added by the Qur’an school students, Zenaida and Merima, who came with their children, bringing joy through their presence and engagement.

Zenaida taught the older girls how to make rolls and cakes, sharing little household secrets and showing how preparing food together brings people closer. Merima dedicated herself to the younger ones, filling every moment with smiles through play and attention.

The day was packed with activities: swimming in the pool, riding bicycles, playing football and badminton, shaping figures with playdough, balls, and rackets. As evening approached, the sky above Ledići came alive with colorful kites the children flew with excitement and joy. Yet, the most special moment was the simplest one – when the children ran barefoot through the grass. The touch of the earth under their feet, freshness, and freedom were reminders of how powerful nature is in creating a healthy and happy childhood.

The director of Foundation Second, Belma Mujezinović, emphasized the importance of such experiences:

"Today, children spend more and more time in front of screens – research shows that their attention weakens, they find it harder to communicate, and they often become tired and withdrawn. That’s why it is especially important for us to provide them with different moments – to walk barefoot on the grass, to play, laugh, talk, and feel closeness with people and nature. These are the simple things that build a healthy childhood and cannot be replaced by a screen."

Trips like these are not just escapes from everyday life.They are opportunities for children without parental care to feel the warmth of community, the support of adults, and the security that builds their future. Foundation Second continues its mission of creating spaces where children can live the joy of childhood – free, healthy, and filled with love.
