A year has flown by very fast since the first bulldozer prepared the land and the foundation trenches were dug. It's been a year with plenty of work, commitment, and challenges, and we've been grateful to all those who have supported us. After a break in the building work for several months, a new company has picked up the final stages of construction and we have glimpses of the blue sky ahead and are beginning to believe that our centre will become a reality later this year.
We are particularly happy that the Swedish Embassy in Kosovo has offered to support the completion of work in our new centre, through a contract we've now signed with the Danish Refugee Council. With this help, not only will we be able to open the doors to the Azure centre very soon, but we're able to support members of the community in Fushe Kosove to access the labour market. Workers from families who live near the centre will be on site in the coming weeks contributing their muscle and skills, and earning a fair wage as well as experience on this flagship project.
By the end of the summer, we hope to be making an opening announcement and inviting every single person who has contributed to come together to mark the opening of the Azure centre.
The faces we see in the community in Fushe Kosove reflect a bright future. Thank you for opening up these horizons!
With love,
The Ideas Partnership
