What do we do?

Over time, our activities have focused on various aspects. We have always tried to answer some questions, needs, or shortcomings, so that almost always our projects have reached more areas of interest.

We learned from year to year and from project to project how we can do meaningful things that fulfill Tășu's mission and pass it on to others and have an echo.

ENVIRONMENT

The projects that we are mostly known for are our tree plantings. We have always done environmental projects, with the main goal of making people aware of the problems that nature faces and providing solutions to save it. People need to understand that the forest belongs to everyone, and if it disappears, then so will we. Environmental problems cannot be separated from social problems: an ecological catastrophe will always be followed by an economic catastrophe and, implicitly, by serious social problems.

SOCIAL

We have carried out social projects, which have never lacked the educational aspect. Thus, our soul project, “ The Christmas Truck” - through which we distribute packages with goods of strict necessity and other gifts, to children from rural communities in the counties of Bistrița Năsăud, Cluj, Mureș, and beyond. These packages are Christmas presents coming to Romania from children in Germany that are trying to do good during the Holidays. This project was initially aimed at those children with a precarious financial situation. But in time, it became a way to teach the little ones how to receive. This action started to become an exchange for the community in 2015, when we first organized “Good day - the day of the little Volunteers!” - through which the children volunteer for the benefit of the community, as a “thank you” for the gift received for Christmas ( the activities they engage in range from planting seedlings to collecting tons of plastic).

Since 2011, we have had a classroom in nature in the Pedagogical Forest, where we have taken over 9,000 children, trained generations of volunteers, and talked about the importance of forests. Young people learn to plant seedlings, what the role of trees and of the forest is, why it is necessary for riverbeds to remain clean, what the solutions for selective waste collection are, and also how to work in teams or coordinate projects.

CULTURAL

In a community, culture is not just about appreciating a work of art, but about taking care of the 4 square meters around you, living cleanly, respecting others, and sometimes, even saying "Hello." Caring for the environment is part of our culture because nature is what gives you everything you need to survive. At Tășuleasa Social, culture, care for the environment and social involvement cannot be separated.

Over time, people of culture and opinion leaders came to our association's headquarters and printed out models for our volunteers, supported us, and promoted our actions. It is important for young people to interact with outstanding personalities and to be introduced to potential role models.
