On the International Volunteer Day, December 5, appointed by the General Assembly of the UN in 1985, to proclaim the power and potential of volunteering, various organizations and groups organize different activities in order to raise awareness on volunteerism, but also to thank the volunteers for their efforts in the community and increase public awareness to contribute in the society.
The Regional TV in Shkodra, “Star Plus” has invited in its special edition of the programme “Open Studio” the Malteser Albania volunteers to talk about their activities and experiences as volunteers.
For about 30 minutes, Engji and Mateo have told about their experience as volunteers at Malteser, confessing about their personal growth within this organization, being part of it since they were 12 years old. They have also told about various projects where volunteers are part of them, especially for the Summer School – Camp at the Velipoja beach with children of marginalized families.
