Jaunųjų kelininkų dienose triumfuoja sunkioji kelių tiesimo technika

Abstract

Kiekvieną pavasarį šalia Aplinkos apsaugos fakulteto išsirikiuoja ir vėliau pajuda į Vilniaus miesto gatves sunkioji kelių tiesimo technika. Taip jaunųjų kelininkų klubas „Kelelis“ švenčia Kelininkų dienas. Šios dienos – tradicinės, tačiau kas kart vis kitokios, nes pusantro šimto narių vienijantį klubą, atsinešdami naujų idėjų, vis papildo nauji nariai.

Every spring, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University junior roadmen’s club “Kelelis” (Little Road) holds the event “Roadmen’s Days”. Even though the event is an already established tradition, each time it is altered due to fresh ideas of newcomers, who join the club uniting 150 members. Is the road of homeland really smoother for junior roadmen? Are they looking forward to work in Lithuania? Adolfas Kuzborski, a president of the club “Kelelis”, gives a generalized answer of the members to the question: “We work and will work because Lithuania is ours. I am a patriot and I am certainly going to devote the largest part of my working capacity age for Lithuania. I do resist negative and populist talks about how bad life is here. I think that people who do not expect anything good to happen experience the worst times. However, among my peers there is already forming the youth who are not complaining but successful and not wasting their time”. During the “Roadmen’s Days”, there is always road-building technique lined in the yard of VGTU Faculty of Environmental Engineering. One can try safety equipment, and ascertain the benefit of safety belts. After familiarizing with technical exposition and decoration of a charabank with a celebrative attributes, every year future roadmen are heading to the centre of the city. “We do not hear any complaints from passersby that the streets of the capital are bumpy and we are celebrating”, laughs one of the event organizers, Master student of Road Traffic Safety at the Faculty of Environmental Engineering Andrius Žolynas.
