The Suncokret Association rents part of the Community Center building from the Municipality of Gvozd. It has been nearly 3 month since part of the roof collapsed, making the space unsafe and unusable. Since then, the Association has not had a safe space for work and activities. The building was severely damaged in the 2020 earthquakes and has waited 4.5 years for renovations. 

Our activities include helping children learn, organizing free time, working with young people and vulnerable groups in the community, international volunteer camps, ecology and nature protection, and human rights.

We urgently need a replacement space so that we can continue our work in a safe and continuous manner. 
Over the past three months, the Association has repeatedly contacted relevant institutions with a request for assistance, but to date we have not received any concrete support. We secured two containers for office needs, which were delivered on July 21, 2025. However, to date, the Municipality has not connected them to electricity, water, and sewage. We have not received a response to any of the emails we sent. 

Last week we sent this petition and our local petion of another 200 signatures to local, regional and national government. We will not give out. Our community deserve quality services and programs. Please keep sharing our petition. Each signature helps.

Udruga Suncokret iznajmljuje dio zgrade Društvenog centra od Općine Gvozd. Prošla su gotovo 3 mjeseca otkako se dio krova urušio, što je prostor učinilo nesigurnim i neupotrebljivim. Od tada Udruga nema siguran prostor za rad i aktivnosti. Zgrada je teško oštećena u potresima 2020. godine i čeka 4,5 godine na obnovu.

Naše aktivnosti uključuju pomoć djeci u učenju, organiziranje slobodnog vremena, rad s mladima i ranjivim skupinama u zajednici, međunarodne volonterske kampove, ekologiju i zaštitu prirode te ljudska prava.

Hitno nam je potreban zamjenski prostor kako bismo mogli nastaviti s radom na siguran i kontinuiran način.

U protekla tri mjeseca Udruga je više puta kontaktirala nadležne institucije sa zahtjevom za pomoć, ali do danas nismo dobili nikakvu konkretnu podršku. Osigurali smo dva kontejnera za uredske potrebe, koji su isporučeni 21. srpnja 2025. Međutim, Općina ih do danas nije priključila na struju, vodu i kanalizaciju. Nismo dobili odgovor ni na jedan od poslanih e-mailova.

Prošli tjedan poslali smo ovu peticiju i našu lokalnu peticiju s dodatnih 200 potpisa lokalnim, regionalnim i nacionalnim vlastima. Nećemo odustati. Naša zajednica zaslužuje kvalitetne usluge i programe. Molimo vas da nastavite dijeliti našu peticiju. Svaki potpis pomaže.
