During this assignment, she participated in many professional training sessions on management, finance, communication, etc.

Senida Mesi: “What we have achieved so far might sound simple, for you who are listening to it, but it is not at all as such. It requires work, reading, lobbing, communicating and above all being attentive to details and insisting on something. Only persistence and commitment made it possible for three mini-projects to be carried out, if I can call them as such. I don’t know how many others are awaiting for us, but I definitely believe that with insistence and commitment, everything can be carried out.”
