Children Day
Children’s day is celebrated in Albania every 1st of June. We consider it as the International Children Day even though it is not celebrated all around the world. The atmosphere in Shkodra was joyful: children holding flowers and balloons in their hands. Different entertaining activities were organized for the children by the respective staff and volunteers of Malteser Albania in Shkodra and Lezha.
