Bring Together Lithuania 2021 is coming to an end. This summer 15 motivated World Lithuanians from the US, Ireland, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Russia joined the summer internship program and explored beautiful modern Lithuania.

Aside to all the important work done during his trip to Lithuania in June, Peter Kazickas found time to visit some dear relatives and family friends, as well as see few of the most amazing places that make Lithuania so beautiful.

While continuing his very busy trip to Lithuania, Peter Kazickas dedicated time to visit few of the programs that KFF supports. “On Sunday, June 20^th we attended a mass in Mamyte's honor and presented a Literacy Award in Memory of Petras Butenas and his student Alexandra Kazickas to one of Lithuania's great linguists,” shared Peter using a sweet name that all the children and grandchildren of Alexandra Kazickas call her – Mamyte.

The pandemic postponed everyone's plans for some time, including Peter Kazickas'. However that didn't stop him to move forwards with his initiative Uncommon.lt. Finally, after some bumps along the way, Peter made it to Lithuania in June of 2021 and to put it in Peter's own words "in typical KFF fashion, we hit the ground running and were busy from start to finish."
