Egzona Bokshki (left), president of Rotaract Club Illyrian and a recent University of Pristina graduate, greets attendees as they sign in for a Violence Free Future workshop and Play2Educate youth event Sept. 19, 2015, in Mitrovica, Kosovo. These events, sponsored by the U.S. Embassy and led by Rotary Club Pristina, promote pro-social behaviors for young men and women in Kosovo regardless of gender or ethnic background, and aim to keep students positively engaged in school and their community. Hungarian and U.S. soldiers assigned to Multinational Battle Group-East attended the event as volunteers and mentors in order to demonstrate the importance of impartial, consistent values in building cooperation and respect within communities. Rotary Club Pristina is created with the aim to offer services for the Kosovar society, to create friendships between Rotarians and to develop and implement humanitarian projects such as Violence-Free-Future and Play-to-Educate.
