Milica Radovic in Kenya, girl from Serbia

Milica Radovic, the girl from Serbia is helping people in Kenya

Milica Radovic (28), the co-founder of one of the biggest IT events in the Balkans and the holder of a TEDx license, dropped the idea of working in an office and set off on an unusual journey to Africa. Aiming not to be a typical tourist, she made a decision to explore, travel, and help. A chance encounter with 12 charming local kids made her stay in Kenya much longer than she planned. And so, instead of posing for social networks and taking photos, she decided to use her blog to raise money for charity and make the future a bit brighter for some kids who need help desperately. This is a story about bananas, storytelling, playing games, a mud house, new uniforms, and a little bit of magic she brought to Rusinga Island.
