Čepovan - Solkan

Reported by Devashishu Torpy 26.0 km

This morning it is raining when we arrive at Čepovan Primary School.

The minute of silence is very profound.

Our final appointment of the day is at Solkan Primary School where we are met by the Deputy Principal.

When we run into the playground there are 150 children who greet us with a song and offer us colourful bracelets.
