🍃Filluam vitin mbarë së bashku me aktivistët e Youth Care for Kosovo, dhe nxënësit e shkollës “Ganimete Tërbeshi” në Llukar. Diskutuam për elementet përbërëse të ambientit, dhe si t’i mbrojmë ato. Një prej mënyrave më të mira të mbrojtjes që u diskutua ishte edhe energjia e ripërtrishme♻️🔋⚡. 🙋Ndërsa, nxënësit e kësaj shkolle treguan se kanë klubin e gjelbër aktiv në shkollë, përmes të cilit organizojnë aktivitete të ndryshme.

In the beginning I was shy and I thought that working with such an organization wouldn’t be such a valuable experience, but the opposite happened. PEN’s staff with whom I’ve had the pleasure to work have astonished me with their modesty and restless work and the way they behaved towards each other. I am overly content with this experience and I hope that one day I will be a part of them.

Herolind Ymeri

My experience with PEN has been one of the most beneficial ones. During this time I have gained new experiences, meet new people, became aware of actual issues for the citizens of Kosovo, and most important I have made memories to cherish for life.

Bleonë Blakqori

When I was in High School, at a time when we’d need counseling the most, I became a part of PEN by joining the Be a Man Club. As part of the Be a Man Club they’d teach us many things on behavior, prejudices, stereotypes, sexually transmitted diseases, preventives, and one thing that has stuck with me is the respect I was shown, and the respect one should show to everyone. Being part of the Club, has helped us towards creating a healthier society.

Jetmir Fejzullahu

Volunteering gives people a chance to help themselves firstly, to give and to gain. Being a part of PEN gave me the opportunity to develop a lot of personal skills, in enhancing my language, leadership, management and coordination skills. Working with such a motivated team, with youth motivated for change, has led us to a common goal: “Change the world starting by yourself”.

Teutë Gërguri

Not all young people of Kosovo get the opportunity to become involved in social activism; whereas I also had the same approach some time ago. However, my experience with NGO PEN has been a spark of encouragement to do more for my peers, while working on the aim of an equal, more inclusive and better society.
