Adea, 2010
I’m Adea Haxhiavdyli and
I am 14 years old. I just
finished the 9th grade.
During the Kosovo war in
1999 I lost my father.
I was 3 years old and it
was really difficult for me.

I was 10 years old when
I joined this program
and I joined because
my friends were there
and they had learned
many things about music
and I was curious to
know more.
Adea Teaching Notes, July 2010
I became a volunteer
when I was 13 years old.
I became a volunteer
because I like teaching
children how to play
instruments and that’s
what I’m doing now.
Adea Teaching Pennywhistle, July 2010
This program means a lot
for me and helps me to
forget the war. I think
the program is good for
children that they learn
to play the instruments
and not go in wrong
directions and also they
play different games.
I plan to continue
volunteering, go on to
university, have a job
and a family.
