Mehmet Babamusta and Fiqiri Kurti, two elementary schools in Kavaja, are 2 out of a total of 63 schools that are part of the \u201cEU4Schools\u201d program, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNDP.<\/p>\n

The head of the EU delegation to Tirana, Ambassador Luigi Soreca, visited the site along with the representative of UNDP, Monica Merino.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere could have been no better area to invest in other than education and culture. These areas are the bridge to the future, and today I can see that dream becoming true. I\u2019ve seen these projects in paper, but now we are seeing them become a reality\u201d, the ambassador said.<\/p>\n

For Monica Merino, UNDP\u2019s new representative, this was the first visit to a project that has been brought to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to highlight two messages. This program is based on two very important principles: rebuilding back better and together\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

The mayor of the Kavaja Redjan Krali was also present at the event.<\/p>\n

Out of the 63 schools, part of the EUS4Schools program, 15 are ready to welcome their students.<\/p>\n

Reconstruction consisted in improving the conditions also, as schools now will have larger classrooms, labs, and sports fields.<\/p>\n

Several trees were planted at the school\u2019s premises by the end of the visit as a symbol of cooperation.<\/p>\n
