Campaign Story

PROJECT PROPOSAL 

The project is about publishing a book that tackles some parts of war diary in Kosovo and post war experience that helped me to recover and appreciate life in peace and harmony with all community members.                  

Description of the project:

In my book I will promote psychosocial education and urge of society to believe on transformation of Kosovar’s from war nightmare and anxiety to self- search improvement; from perception of hate to love, peace and reconciliation.

In this book I’m traveling with two time dimension, war & peace with sound of love, hope, cry and joy, with colors and melodies that are produced from us and all community members in Balkan.

Book will present lyrical  and epic writing and poetic prose, the book will tune readers from war story to passion for life and humanity and reflects beauty of the nature in Kosovo and neighboring countries.

Book itself will promote activism toward personal development and community building;

Will encourage communities to read books, and inform younger generation that didn’t experience war for importance of Peace Building.

The crisis of the book in Kosovo derives from many reasons starting from transition of society to fragile institution, lack of funds to supporting literacy, art and culture.  

Translating this book in English will help me to introduce my book to broader readers and therefore increase my incomes to translate in German language in addition.

Writers existed thanks to readers therefore I’m kindly requesting to support me finalizing and publish my book.
