Samanta Bajrami, freshman at the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, University of Montenegro: Be ready to step towards your goal

"Be patient, without giving up, everything will pay off one day because you are building your future" - Samanta Bajrami would repeat to herself every time she was discouraged. She graduated from Vocational High School "Spasoje Raspopovic", majoring in garment technology, and minoring in hairdressing. She is a beneficiary of our mentoring support program - Increasing access and participation of Roma students in secondary education and the transition to the labor market funded by the European Union, and implemented through the Roma Education Fund.

During her schooling, Samanta did an internship in a hair salon, the Dress-press company for the production and sale of textile clothes, as well as in the Atelier of Marina Banovic-Dzuver. For her, traveling means living, so guided by that dream, she decided to continue her education and enrolled at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management at the University of Montenegro. Her greatest support on the path to education is her mother, who always helps her with endless enthusiasm. Bajrami was our collaborator on the project New beginning for 500 students. She helped Roma families enroll their children in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools. She participated in trainings, project activities, and the opportunity to motivate, strengthen her community, and send them an important message that means a lot to her.
