Following the easing of the border restrictions, the PONT team visited some of its beneficiaries in North Macedonia. The trip started with a fruitful meeting with the Mayor of Vevchani Municipality. The journey continued to the new and bright offices of the Association of sports “Sport for all – All for sport” Ohrid. This new office with three rooms gives space for the ever-growing work around the Ohrid Ultra Trail and others sports events happening in and around Ohrid for young and old.
