The power of mentorship - Momčilo Amović
One of the most precious, popular and useful Foundation’s activities is its Mentorship program, where we match students with professionals from the same or similar relevant field of study. In that way, we pursue further growth and development of our scholars. This program has been launched a few years ago, and the fact is that many scholars got the most out of it, through internships, conferences abroad and similar activities. We are proud of our scholars. This time we have conducted an interview with one of such scholars, Momčilo Amović, who has really achieved amazing and outstanding performance during his mentorship activities.

Milan Kusmuk: Responding to our rapid growth in 2019
This answers the question how we actually came to this point where we are one of the fastest growing Foundations and brands in Bosnia & Herzegovina with only one half-time paid staff member. It is a result of large group of leaders that work around the clock to deliver. All of them work full time or study full time and they are still able to do so. Think twice, how you spend your time.
