Mirsada in an interview with STELP

STELP: Why don’t you briefly introduce yourself. Who are you and in which country are you working with STELP?
Mirsada: My name is Mirsada Hodžić, I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the town of Bihać and I am the mother of a child with developmental disorders (diagnosed with microcephaly). We work with STELP in Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina, through the organization “Radosti druženja”.

STELP: What is your main task in your project?
Mirsada: My job is to raise funds for work with children aged 4 to 50, write projects, coordinate them and prepare reports on the funds donated. I also do all the other tasks related to the organization, as we have our own premises and there is a lot to organize.

STELP: How did your club come to work with STELP?
Mirsada: We work with STELP on the recommendation of a friend who made Serkan aware of our organization and our financial problems. We have been working with STELP since 01.09.2022.

STELP: Which aspect of the project is particularly important to you and why?
Mirsada: Our organization has been working with children since 2024, initially mainly with children aged 15 to 40. However, in recent years we have introduced workshops for children aged 3 to 15 and although we thought there were not so many children who needed help, unfortunately the number has turned out to be greater than expected. As we didn’t have enough funds to support everyone, we were glad that you found us and helped us so much. Without your help we would not have achieved such results. Our project is most important for children between the ages of 3 and 15, as they make the most progress at this age.

STELP: What work do you enjoy the most?
Mirsada: Despite all the work I have to do, I enjoy it most when the children come to the workshops with a smile and go home happy with their parents. There is nothing better than the joy and laughter of a child.

STELP: Do you have a life motto?
Mirsada: My motto in life is to help children and young people who need help, as well as their parents. As there was a war going on in Bosnia when my daughter Alma was born, I didn’t have many opportunities for her at the time. That’s why I now want to give other children more than I was able to give my own child. My current goal is to help a boy to enroll in a secondary school in Zenica or Tuzla, as he has no parents.
