For more than one year, the whole world is still in the same situation – prevented from functioning as before, for people to hug each other, to have a regular education, to breathe without masks… It seems that nothing is under our control. Young people especially feel unmotivated because they are prevented to live the best years of their lives the way they want to. For those who love to be active, to do some good stuff for society, it seems that there is no chance for it anymore. Pandemic has stopped many planned activities and, although everything seems uncertain and unpredictable, life cannot be stopped. Life always flows and gives us a second chance for things we truly want.
