“I plan to start my own organization
when I finish studies.” – Ahmedina Smajlović

Can you tell us how did you come up with the idea to make a social project for youth with cancer disease? What was the program of activities and how many kids participated in the program?

I wanted to do something different that is at the same time both interesting and educative for kids. I came up with the idea to organize a visit to the cinema. Unexpectedly, we got a much bigger response from donators so we made a plan and then we adjusted it. 

Numerous celebrities answered my call as well as local and foreign donators. The first plan was to organize an event only for kids with cancer disease. Then we changed our plan and we also made a program for the kids who are in the University Clinical Centre of Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina) on the department of hematology and oncology. Afterwards, we financed winter rehabilitation for twenty kids from the NGO Pipol. They participated in our project together with their parents. I truly believe that these kids with cancer, have to have bigger support. 

How did you find support for your project?

At first, we got support from our close friends and celebrities. Then we received support from public and private sector.

Do You plan to continue social activism, which may turn in social entrepreneurship?

Yes, I have already contributed founding several social projects in Tuzla.

Beside these projects I regularly contribute to the projects of other organizations too. They are not only for students. The projects engage different target groups and social l categories that require a special care. I plan to start my own organization when I finish my studies.

What is the most memorable impression from the project?

It is surely kids’ gratitude and unexpected support from regular people and organizations. It was ten times bigger than we estimated the initial goal.

“The Academy has helped me to perceive today’s fast life tempo and that I need to use every chance that is offered to me. Also, I have found partly an answer what do I want to be when I grow up which is very important to me. Feelings that I experienced in the days of the Academy left great mark on my heart and in my head.”

Maida Dlakić (Bugojno)

“Participation on the Academy expanded my horizons and my knowledge is definitely enriched. I was really glad to meet all these young and motivated people who believe in better tomorrow and know what they want to make from their future. I would recommend to all youth not to circumvent this type of education. Such education is truly needed if we want to see with different vision.”

Andrej Galić (Mostar)

“I came on the Academy without any expectations and assumptions what is going to be offered to us. But, in the end I went out from it as different person. As a person with regained confidence, I learned how to make a public speech without fear and doubt in myself. I hope that Academy will continue with its work because it is that what Bosnian youth need.”

Ahmedina Smajlović (Tuzla)

“I am of opinion that organization was on the highest level. I liked selection of lecturers. I especially liked those who shared their life stories with us. I think that all participants are motivated to pursue further self-improvement because all of us do have talents that we need to realize.”
