As we grow, we all come from different backgrounds that not every time tend to make our path easy to achieve goals of education. It is not every time that we have all the conditions to attend school and get educated.
But, despite these, it is also every time that people think about others, besides themselves. Think about making a change in wider society, beginning with some small steps. It's their thought and action afterward that enables these changes, make opportunities for people with different backgrounds as we're all the same.
That's the story of Majlinda, whose fate took a wonderful turn for a good start, thanks to all of you donors, and your generous hearts.
Majlinda is a child, whose family experienced so many adversities, starting with the death of the father and of her brother, continuing with difficult living conditions and another paralyzed brother, which in this case for her mother it was and still continues to be a great challenge every day that she faces. Considering this, her mother indeed didn't have conditions and time to take her child to school, until The Ideas Partnership, from amazing donors, provided transportation for her to school by bus, and provided her with books and other necessary school supplies, that definitely made her smile again.
She started the first class this September, and when speaking with her she mentioned that she started learning letters and the alphabet, and also that she got a lot of congrats from her teacher. Except this, she says "I really enjoy sports we make outside with friends and the teacher", and tells about the great time they are having together learning new things and practicing, which her bright eyes tells it all.
Slowly reaching the end of the lovely conversation with her, she states that her hope is to continue education and thereby help her family, and I told her that in this dynamic world good people still exist to help us achieve our dreams, we only need persistent courage, everything afterward comes like a river flow.
Thanks to all of your support, she has regained the belief that everything is possible and can be done if we help each other along the way.
