Looking at the current events when social distance is already an everyday habit and people gave it in, to celebrate 100 years of prominent volunteer work of SCI is a great challenge. But when you have a spirit of a fighter and don’t have the word ‘give up’ in your vocabulary, you start producing the new ideas adjusted to new realities. Social Tea is one of these initiatives dedicated to 100 years of SCI to get SCI family together and share the stories in order not to forget what was done and to commemorate the anniversary.
