Resumo: The hosting organization is situated in a city and municipality in eastern Croatia, and the biggest river port in Croatia located at the confluence of the river. The city is the center of the county. The city's registered population was 30,126 in the 2001 census, with up to 31,670 in the municipality.

The city was one of the decisive points in the war of 1991.in Ex-Yugoslavia, and completely destroyed during the war and up to now it has not been rebuilt properly. Due to the circumstances that no bigger companies have been allowed to open factories here in the region, there is a high rate of unemployment, and it is especially hard for young people, and most of them strive to leave the town and region. The population is practically equally made up of Serbs and Croats, with some members of minorities (Ruthinians, Hungarians, Slovakians, Ukrainians, Roma,). As from kindergarten on, there is segregation between Serbs and Croats, and it is very hard to bring them both together without any prejudices. It is a process which will take some time, and which is one of the main focus of the hosting organization work.

The community of this small town, with the basic infrastructure, supermarkets, post office, different shops, doctors and hospitals, theatre, different coffee bars and some places to go out.

Volunteers will be placed in the organization premises as idea is if there is for example 3 of theme to overlap so volunteers can help each other and be support. If there is more volunteers there would be other house rented.
