First of all, we would like to wish you all happy holidays from all the staff members in CIM. December has been a very busy month for us, and no doubt you have been very busy too. We hope you will have an amazing new year, and may most, if not all your resolutions become reality.
Our Peace Camp participants from 2014 are no exception to what usually happens after the training: a good number of people we train develop the confidence and skills they need to become leaders in their own community. So what have they been up to? Mili, one of our group leaders has finished building a tennis court for children in his town of Doboj in Eastern Bosnia. The project was built entirely with volunteers and most of the materials were donated by local community members. He has negotiated his way through achieving this. Moreover, he works for a local grassroots NGO and is also contributing to organising an interethnic peace camp in his area. From project participant to project leader, we couldn't be more proud of him!
Two other participants, Dinka from Tuzla and Edin from Visoko were selected to be responsible for taking a group of young people from Sanski Most to Germany for an exchange programme in Koln. They supported and mentored the high school children, were in charge of all the logistical arrangements and delivered workshops with both Bosnian and German young people.
Nejra now works for her local youth centre in Visoko, and is implementing some of the learning she got in peace camp in her work. She is a restless activist for social change, and with a wonderful, energetic, and motivational attitude, we are sure her work makes a great impact on the young people she works with in her town.
We will keep you informed about the progress of our project participants in their own communities. We would like to say a massive, sincere thank you for all of your support in 2014. Your generous donations have helped us continue our work, and now CIM is growing into an internationally renouned organisation.
With much gratitude,
Adelina & the CIM Team
