Gabija Riaubaite photo exhibition

Gabija Riaubaitė is a student from Kaunas Versvu Gymnasium (form 11c) and she has never attended the school because she has a serious disability. She learns at home. The girl is interested in nature and especially in insects. She has three stick-bugs in the glass terrarium, the beautiful butterflies come into life from the small cocoons in the glass jar which stands on the table. The girl takes photos of these small creatures because she has no possibility to go out to see nature. The whole world of this amazing girl is in her room, in her photos of the butterflies, stick-bugs… Gabija explores the plants and insects through the microscope and makes photo of these views. It is really hard for Gabija to hold the camera, to press the button, but she is so patient and persistent so she tries to beat all the difficulties and not to surrender to her disability.

Students of Kaunas Versvu Gymnasium Helping Animals

“Our Animals – In Our Hands“

The most beautiful celebrations are coming, so the students from 8i grade and their teacher Ieva Kriauciuniene have decided to pay some attention and their time for the homeless animals in the animal shelter “The Fifth Leg“. All students gave their money for the animals, they have bought about 100 kg dogs‘ food. 20th November the teacher and eight students visited the shelter. Now, there are 150 animals there. A lot of dogs met the students with their barking and happy yelping. The students walked with the dogs for several hours. Everyone here needs the attention – one dog should be outside at least for 45 minutes. Everyone was really tired, a little bit sad because the students had to leave the dogs there. However, they felt happy and proud that they could give some help and happiness for the animals. It is so good to do good works.
