Building of a New Elementary School in Montenegro

Action for the Construction of the New Elementary School in the Village of Vishnjeva, Guci-Plav region of Montenegro!

The Elementary School in the Village of Vishnjeva (Gusinje-Plav Municipality) is in great need of your support. We, the former students of this School, are undertaking an initiative to build a brand new school and demolish the existing school building which currently is in a dire condition and unsafe for the students, faculty, and staff. Since its first day of opening in 1968/69, this elementary school has served many children from the surrounding villages of Vishnjeva, Kukaj, and Hakaj. This school produced generations of students, many of whom now reside in various western nations and other countries around the world.

Building a brand-new school is not only for the good of all those poor children who presently are being educated, but also for the good of the homeland in general. For the above and many other reasons, we cannot allow the closing of this Albanian Language School. To us, this school is a temple of knowledge not only for our past generations, but also for those students who are presently being educated as well as for many future generations. Therefore, dear compatriots, we ask for your financial support. Your support will enable us to successfully complete this humane action which is of great value and vital importance for the village of Vishnjeva and the villages of Kukaj and Hakaj.

The committee conducted a study by gathering all the necessary data and ordered a blueprint for the construction of a new building. To date, we have made all the necessary preparations and coordination with the relevant educational institutions at the local municipality as well as state level. The study suggests that, based on local construction and material expenses, the total cost of building a brand-new school, obviously with a modern standard, shall approximately be $150,000, and thus far, between GoFundMe and in person, we have raised $150,905.

We are are eternally grateful for your generous donation and support.

 

Respectfully,
