Djurdjina is a second-year student at the Faculty of Traffic and Engineering in Belgrade. She came to Belgrade to study from Krupanj, a small town near Loznica city. Big floods hit her town in 2014. That was when she and her family became homeless. Like all families who experienced this, they went through a very difficult period, not only financially, but it also affected them very much on an emotional level. The flood and losing a house left them with an indelible mark.
Despite all that, when arrived in Belgrade, Djurdjina entered two universities, decided to be a hard-working student to make it easier for her family.
And really, Djurdjina`s effort gave her family the strength and joy they needed to go on, to feel proud of her, wanting to continue and live better. Even as a first-year student, Djurdjina achieved the right to free education and the right to a student dormitory, where she still lives.
Moving from a small town to Belgrade was a big challenge for her, but the desire to fight and succeed was stronger. Now, her family is waiting for her to become her person, with a university degree. When speaking to Djurdjina`s parents, when mentioning her studies, they have a smile on their faces.
They were lost after the floods, and say that it wouldn`t be possible for them to support Djurdjina`s education, because they lost home, all their belongings, their gardens, sources of income, jobs. They are thankful to us, for providing Djurdjina`s opportunity to fulfil her potential.
And we are thankful to you, for supporting her education with your donations. Seeing her proud, successful, cheerful and motivated makes us want to do even more for all children like her, who are ready to show the best they have and make our society a better place.
