Not long ago, I became a part of a program European Youth Parliament. Its aim is to bring together young, creative and open minded people from all across Europe to debate on the most pressing issues of our time - for example; climate change - and encourage them to speak up and find possible solutions for given problem. In January, I attended my first session and worked very hard to make my voice be heard. Last week, I woke up to an email from vice-president of EYP Slovenia, asking me to participate in a national session in North Macedonia. My efforts seemed to have payed off. I nearly hit the ceiling and rushed to tell my parents about it. Everything was perfect until we came to realize that the delegates have to cover travel fees on their own. I've been trying to save every penny since, but the truth is that I will likely not be able to afford the trip on my own. I have a great urge to go there because: 1. I worked so hard and will never get an opportunity like this again and 2. Because North Macedonia is where my roots are, where my family originally comes from and I have not seen it once so it would be very meaningful to me to finally explore it. I want to thank you from my heart for any donations!
