Rri'ON
The Rri'ON active youth program in Balaj village aims to empower local youth by fostering new knowledge, values, and skills through play, engaging activities, and volunteer work within the community. In the initial phase, we focused on developing critical thinking, social skills, problem-solving, and decision-making, highlighting the importance of volunteering as a valuable contribution to the well-being of our society.
We are very grateful for our collaboration with the "Pavarësia" elementary school in Ferizaj, and we extend a special thank you to the school director, Mrs. Safete Tahiri, for her unwavering support and assistance with our initiatives.

Unforgettable Visit to the Cave of Gadime
We had an unforgettable visit to the Cave of Gadime with the young agents of change from the village of Balaj, as part of the Rri'ON program!
This inspiring experience allowed us to join forces and explore one of our country’s natural treasures. The adventure fostered teamwork and deepened our appreciation for the beauty of our environment.
Celebrating Art and Positive Change

Art, games, and endless fun were all part of the successful activity with the wonderful youth of Balaj village, who have just completed their first project for the village school. They created a vibrant mural aimed at conveying a message of positive change through art.

DAY OF CULTURE
We had a fantastic day of culture that left a lasting impression on us!
Our journey began at the city museum, where we learned about the rich history of our 150-year-old city. Next, we visited the art gallery, where we enjoyed the creative expressions of various artists.
This enriching experience provided valuable lessons from the past and sparked inspiration for the future for our change agents!
Agents of Change Take Action for a Cleaner Environment
Change starts with our actions! The change agents in the village of Balaj, involved in the Rri'ON active youth program, have successfully completed their second environmental care project. In July, we placed waste baskets on village streets to help preserve our precious environment.
This initiative represents another important step in community activism and inclusiveness for the common good, paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable countryside for future generations.
