“The VTIS Association made a great impression on me. First because of the enthusiasts who invited me to cooperate with them, then because of the mission they have, the work program and also - or above all - because of volunteering. Slovenia should include them in its projects and give them the opportunity to contribute creatively to our development. There are thousands of possibilities, and if we believe that there is power in knowledge, not one should be missed. Good luck!”
