Children from orphanages in Lithuania are invited to "ŽvejOK" ("Go Fish") every year on October 1. The initiative aims to introduce them to amateur fishing and give them the opportunity to learn alongside professionals. This year, refugee children from the Rukla Refugee Reception Center and Roma children from Vilnius were also invited to participate. It is hoped that these children, who have more difficulties integrating into society, will not only discover fishing, but also get to know their peers from all over Lithuania. More than 500 children plan to participate this year.
