The Klokočinský jarmok (Klokočina Fair) is one of the 3 largest annual events in Nitra and it is estimated that 10,000 people attend each year. The I Love my City team went bright and early (like very early) on Saturday morning to clean the entire fair grounds of Friday’s garbage. The organizers were shocked that… Read More I Love my City Report – Klokočina Fair and Kids Programs
Making a visible impact on the city was a high priority but having points of connection was equally as important.

We ran ads in the local newspaper, put posters on doors, had posters placed… Read More I Love my City Report – Connecting Points
Komunitné Centrum (literally Community Centre) is an organization that serves as host to several social programs housed in one building.

The kids camp, entitled “A Journey Full of Adventure”, ran daily from Monday to Friday. The core team running the camp were people from Mozaika.

It was… Read More I Love my City Report – Kids Camp

With all the big things in place, these past weeks have been full of details. Our days have sped by propelled on little detailed-sized rockets! Tonight marks the start of our week of prayer. With teams arriving at the end of this week and the I Love my City project beginning on Saturday, Mozaika will… Read More I Love my City Prayer Week
The I Love my City Project is just over 2 weeks away now. We’re working hard to be as prepared as possible, but it’s becoming more and more clear that there needs to be some serious prayer to back up our actions here on the ground. Last Tuesday we had a great meeting that started… Read More I Love my City Update
