Young women, ambitious and ready to pursue their professional dreams amidst challenging times of coping and overcoming the COVID-19. Future lawyers, researchers, clinical psychologists, women who are gaining professional skills in their fields of studies to find sustainable employment, pursue their dream and become future leaders.

Donjeta Gjonbalaj is planning the schedule of activities for the children in the kindergarten. It has been nearly a month since she started her internship at a kindergarten in Prishtinë/Priština, as part of the Internship Programme supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kosovo and the Ministry of Culture (MCYS), Youth and Sports.

As a recent graduate in psychology, Donjeta among many other young people had to put her plans aside due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Now that she has been given the chance to start the internship in a profession of her choice, she is focused in matching her academic knowledge and professional skills and turning them into practice. She is tirelessly committed to bring happiness for children, especially the ones with special needs or developmental delays, thus contributing to resilience among children and providing care for them while – allowing their mothers to focus on their professional lives, as well.
