Kindergarten children sell products in the square, the money goes to help children with cancer

On Wednesday, the little ones from the "Magic House" kindergarten from the village of Besi, occupied a space in "Skenderbeu" Square where they sold their handmade products during the day.

Food and cosmetics, prepared and decorated by them, were displayed for sale to passersby, and the money that will be collected will then be used to help other children whose lives are being challenged by cancer.

The director of the kindergarten, Saime Alshiqi, says that the products do not have a set cost, it will be up to the contributors how much they want to offer.

"We are the 'Magic House' kindergarten, today, due to the pink month for awareness of people with cancer, as part of the activities, we have chosen to hold a humanitarian activity where the children of the kindergarten, with the help of educators and parents, have prepared small products, where the collected funds are dedicated to children affected by cancer. We will send them to the children's pediatrics. They are cosmetic products that the parents have brought, they have prepared them, we are selling them, they have no price, but it will be based on the volunteers how much they want to contribute", said Alshiqi.

According to the director, through the activity, children are learning about life and being humane with others.
"The children are preschoolers, but we are implementing this initiative with them because they are the oldest in the kindergarten. The children know about the activity, they know the importance of helping children who need help. In my opinion, it is not only a humanitarian activity, but we are teaching the children about life, we are teaching them human feelings, emotional and moral education, they are learning that kindness and solidarity are values ​​that they should develop," emphasizes Alshiqi.

The funds raised will be distributed to the 5 children currently being treated in pediatrics, or toys will be purchased for them.

"We have done such activities repeatedly, but this one is different, for children who need support. Since the children are small, the activity will only be today and they will go immediately to the pediatrician. We will see how much money will be collected, because there are 5 children with chemotherapy, it will be distributed to these children, but if the funds are less, we will buy toys to make them happy because we motivate them with them", adds Alshiqi.

Parents were also key supporters of this activity, Alma Ajdini says that her son was engaged and curious about every detail that was being prepared for the activity.

"As a parent, I am happy to be part of this initiative. My child is in this kindergarten today. We are united by a single goal, to give love and hope where we are needed. Our children learn how important it is to help each other. The boy has been very curious in preparing the food, he has participated in the decoration, even though he is small, but he has been curious why the color is pink," says Ajdini.

"Self-care is a gift for life. All mothers are strong" is the message that 5-year-old Troi Dragusha conveyed at the event.

"I am Troi Dragusha, 5 years old. I came with my friends to sell things that we have made ourselves. We will sell these foods that we have prepared to help other children. Taking care of yourself is a gift for life. All mothers are strong," he emphasizes.

Several groups of children and parents were involved in the activity, but only 7 children stayed to sell, and the interest from passersby to contribute was satisfactory, and there were even other children who were curious about the activity and bought something.
