"the most important thing is not nationality but to be a good-hearted person"

Valentina Slavić and Milijana Ilic are our two lovely PLAYers from Lepine. Together they are part of EDI Plus youth programme and have been participating in PLAY’s activities in Kosovo for one year now. They talk with passion about volunteering and working with kids from their town.

 As community leaders, Tina and Mia try to do as many regular activities as they can. They like sharing the cooperative and collective games that they learn from PLAY with other kids from their community.

When asked why they enjoy working with youngsters from their community, their answer was that they find the motivation in the trainers from PLAY, which worked with them in the near past. They think that the activities were so helpful for them and now they both love sharing what they learned with kids of different religions and communities. They are happy when they can put smiles on kids' faces. 

They say: When the games are over, kids always ask to stay longer and play more with one another. You can witness the creation of new friendships. 

For them, the most important thing is not one's nationality but to be a good-hearted person and get together to get things done no matter what. 

Tina and Mia believe that the best thing about PLAY is meeting interesting new people.
