State Department Reps Join Students to Paint School
John Boris, Director, Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Division in the Office of the
Coordinator of Assistance for Europe and Eurasia joined students of Sveti Sava School in painting the school wall on October 4 to mark the beginning of the school rehabilitation project.
"We know a good education is critical not just for you, but for all Kosovo. We know this building is your home away from home, and we want it to be safe … to be comfortable … and to be a place where you can learn without interruptions," said Boris at the inauguration ceremony, followed
by Andrija Vukomanovic, Sveti Sava school director who thanked USAID for supporting the school project.
The painting of the wall marked the official start of $110,000 school rehabilitation project, part of USAID's Community Enhancement Project implemented in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and Mercy Corps International. The renovation includes a new roof, new windows, exterior repairs and painting, and new toilets. The $1+ million project works with communities in Leposavic/q, north Mitrovica/e, Zubin Potok and Zvecan on small infrastructure programs.
