BOSANA FOUNDATION

After School Program - Quarterly Report

August - November 2025

Dear Supporters,

We are pleased to present our quarterly report summarizing activities and key achievements across Bosana Foundation’s After School Programs in Tuzla, Zenica, Sarajevo, and Mostar.

Our focus remains on providing educational support, promoting creativity, and strengthening self-confidence among children and youth throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This quarter, we also launched a new Instagram page dedicated exclusively to the After School Program - After School Program (ASP) @asp.bosana · Sarajevo.

We are excited to use this platform to share daily stories, photos, and updates from all our centers, offering a closer look at the activities and impact of the program.

TUZLA - After School Program

The past few months brought renewed energy and growth to our program in Tuzla.
We worked closely with our volunteers to strengthen teamwork and improve how we communicate our mission to the community, especially through a more authentic social media presence.

Highlights:

• Creative Workshop: Children built birdhouses while learning about autumn, nature conservation, and the importance of protecting birds.
• Health & Prevention Session: A fun, art-based workshop on the dangers of smoking, carefully adapted for younger participants, made the topic both engaging and educational.
• Community Building: Strengthened volunteer coordination and increased the visibility of the program in Tuzla.

These activities fostered curiosity, creativity, and awareness among children, while deepening the sense of belonging and teamwork within the volunteer group.

ZENICA - After School Program

Through the After School Program implemented by the Youth Center INPUT at Dom porodica Zenica, children continued to learn through STEM education, combining play, exploration, and creativity.

Highlights:

• Programming & Robotics: Children learned logical thinking and basic coding while building simple robots and understanding how sensors work.
• 3D Modeling & Design: Older children designed and printed their own keychains and small objects, experiencing how ideas turn into tangible creations.
• STEM Learning Mindset: Children practiced problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience, learning that mistakes are part of innovation.

For children growing up in Dom porodica, these workshops hold special value; they build confidence, belonging, and belief in their own abilities.

STEM education is not only about technology; it’s a way of thinking that encourages children to explore, create, and shape their future.

SARAJEVO - After School Program

From July to October, activities in Sarajevo were designed to inspire imagination, collaboration, and continuous learning through play.

Highlights:

• Creative & Art Workshops: Children explored drawing, painting, and mosaic-making, enhancing fine motor skills and artistic expression.
• STEM & Science Learning: Hands-on sessions, such as building a solar system model, helped participants understand basic scientific concepts.
• First Aid Education: Ongoing workshops taught safety, empathy, and readiness, with one group now preparing for a First Aid competition.
• Music Education: Piano lessons introduced musical literacy and rhythm, combining discipline and fun.
• Tutoring & Individual Support: Volunteers provided one-on-one academic assistance, adapting to each child’s learning pace and needs.

In October, volunteers expanded their work to small family homes and foster care settings, ensuring that every child received both educational and emotional support. The month was marked by consistency, motivation, and progress, reflecting the volunteers’ strong dedication and care.

MOSTAR - After School Program

Activities in Mostar continued regularly, focusing on educational support and recreational engagement.

During this quarter, one of the Bosana scholarship volunteers led instructional classes and organized sports and playtime activities, especially during school breaks.
By mid-October, additional volunteers rejoined the program, ensuring the continuity in learning support and fostering teamwork and social interaction among children.

Across all cities, Bosana Foundation’s After School Programs continue to:

• Provide academic support in key subjects while promoting creativity and confidence.
• Offer safe and inspiring spaces for socialization, learning, and personal growth.
• Engage Bosana scholars and local volunteers as mentors and role models for children.

We are proud of the consistent progress made this quarter and deeply grateful for the continued support that enables us to create a lasting impact in the lives of children and youth throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
