Zlata Đorđević (25 years)

Now I am gaining new knowledge and skills as an
intern at the travel agency. And I need this so that I can
progress professionally and fight for myself, my daughter
and my mother

“If there was not for my mom, I do not know where would I be today. She neglected her life and fought for me.
Our life stories might be similar…when I think about it, they are actually the same.”

This Belgrade-born girl completed primary and secondary school with highest grades and participated in competitions in biology and English language. After talking about it with her mother, she decided to enroll Belgrade Business Academy for Applied Studies, only to graduate with distinction. She does not regret a single decision she made. She does not regret going to USA as a student and working for 16 hours a day. She does not regret falling in love and having a daughter, nor having to return alone with her, to Belgrade.

“History repeats itself. I fight for my own child today the same way my mother fought for me. That is why I started this internship within REF project. Now I am gaining new knowledge and skills as an intern at the travel agency. And I need this so that I can progress professionally and fight for myself, my daughter and my mother. I am very grateful.”
