In the first week of October we marked the International Children’s Week, hoping to raise awareness of the importance of respecting the rights of every child in Bosnia and Herzegovina, without discrimination, applying the principles in the best interest of our children.

The ASB representatives, Sava Pantelic, the Desk Officer for Southeast Europe and International Samaritan Cooperation, and Rusmir Hanic, the ASB SEE Project Manager, visited the Childrenโs Educational Center โGive us a Chance โ Little Starsโ in Banja Luka.
Within the project โ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ญ ๐๐ญ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ณ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐โ, ASB had installed specialized devices in the sensory yard of the Center, that help develop motor skills in children with disabilities.
Since this is the only sensory yard of this kind in Banja Luka region, the โLittle Starsโ Center has become the regional center in providing therapeutic activities for the youngest population. Their services are now being used by beneficiaries with disabilities from other neighboring associations as well. This made them initiate the process of developing a formalized program for service provision to other similar organizations through the Center for Social Work in Banja Luka.
