Vica Receives New School for its Young Students
June 8th will be remembered as School Day in Vica, Shtërpce/Sterpce municipality, following the official opening of a new school building by Dr. Douglas Menarchik, USAID Assistant Administrator for Europe and Eurasia. Students showed their appreciation for USAID support by treating Dr. Menarchik to a festival of song and dance.
Menarchik called upon the residents of the mixed community of Vica to continue their work, urging, "You, as students - study hard; and you, as parents - help educate your children to become responsible citizens in a peaceful and democratic Kosovo."
The school construction is part of USAID's Municipal Integration and Support Initiative (MISI) project, implemented by Mercy Corps.
