Storks (and Guerilla's) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The highest number of Storks that are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, live not all that far away from us, on the flood plains near Gradiška.
Hello I’m David, and this is my Blog/Vlog/Podcast about my life and experiences in a rural village in North-West Bosnia and Herzegovina. I’ll be giving you a unique look, through the eyes of an immigrant (me), of this much misunderstood country. My goal is to replace the many negative perceptions of both the country and its people, that you’ll be served by international media outlets. Thank you so much for dropping by.
Fun Fact:
The highest number of Storks that are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, live not all that far away from us, on the flood plains near Gradiška.
Whilst researching the storks I found out that a large amount of projects concerning bio diversity in Bosnia and Herzegovina were funded from the UK and in particular by Rufford Grants.
There have been 2 stork related protects over the past years.
Not everyone is leaving BiH for good. Some do come back, and storks are one of them.
That's a @funkyguerrilla quote BTW 👍

I talked to Predrag Borojević from Funky Guerilla to learn more about what they do. ⬇️
In this episode of the podcast, I talk with Predrag Borojević, co-founder of Funky Gorilla, a youth-oriented startup.
Predrag shares the history and challenges of starting the business, originating from an NGO's initiative to tackle youth unemployment.
We discuss the evolution of the company from an online store to a wholesale operation, overcoming logistical and financial hurdles.
Predrag emphasises the importance of evolving from a non-profit mindset to a business-oriented approach while maintaining a social mission.
Our discussion highlights the potential for Funky Gorilla to inspire and support new generations of entrepreneurs in the region.
The Funky Guerrilla Story. An innovative startup from Gradiška in the north of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The idea, the obstacles. highlights and downslides, and the rocky creative road to success.
In a country (Bosnia and Herzegovina) where success stories are really so far and few between, The Funky Guerrilla are, in way, trailblazers!
