10 years of our organisation
In 1996, when REVIA had been created in Pezinok, the idea was based on a handful of enthusiasts and a conviction, that if projects similar to the one like REVIA were meaningful abroad, why should it not be the case here, in Slovakia.
"In the years that followed, I reduced my involvement to being just an observer, but with great pride, I watched the growth and maturation of this Organization. In the ten years of its existence, REVIA has dispersed uncertainties and fulfilled numerous dreams. Organization, which had passed through such process is now successfully walking towards reliance and stability." (Ladislav Briestensky, one of the founders of REVIA)
