Home is more than the building we live in. It is also the garden, the playground, the greenery and the places where children play and create memories.

On 6 November, “Unexpected Good” volunteers dedicated their time to SOS Children’s Villages in Dren, helping improve its outdoor spaces.

Their work included cleaning and improving green areas, as well as painting and refreshing outdoor play areas, with the aim of creating a more welcoming environment for the children.

The results were visible at the end of the day, but the initiative carried a broader message too: caring for a place is also a way of caring for the people who call it home.
