As the founder of our charity, I’ve always had a passion for making a difference in the lives of children. It’s this commitment that led me to write “The Balkan Voyage,” a children’s book series aimed at celebrating the rich culture and diversity of the Western Balkans while supporting our charitable endeavors.
One striking observation that spurred me to action was the absence of literature featuring diverse friendships from the Western Balkans. Despite our shared heritage, language, and culture, there was a notable lack of representation in children’s literature. This realization saddened me, but it also ignited a determination to fill that gap.
“The Balkan Voyage” introduces readers to four friends, each representing a different region of the Western Balkans. While not a perfect representation, these characters serve as ambassadors, showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of their respective homelands.
The series begins with a journey to Belgrade, a city close to my heart and a place where the idea of our charity was born. The story unfolds on a playground, a symbol of our charity’s future goal to provide safe spaces for children to play and thrive.
