Together with HEPAR center from Bitola and the gymnasium Josip Broz Tito, we had a meeting with the mayor of Bitola, Natasha Petrovska. We talked about the activities we had so far and about the stigma regarding rare diseases.

The mayor said that it would be good to make a list or a register of rare disease families in the city of Bitola so that the city can offer more services and support for rare diseases. She stated that Bitola will always be here to support the activities of the patient associations and to offer help for the families.

At the end of the meeting Ms Petrovka also put her hand impression on the poster from the students supporting the motto – One colored hand for supporting patients with rare diseases all around the world.

The gymnasium Josip Broz Tito, with the leadership of the psychologist Lidija Spoa, Hepar center, and Life with challenges, organized an event to mark RDD. A patient with the rare disease Morphea- Stefan Vaasikj, told his story in front of the other students in his school. He is a freat student and a vice president of the Youth active. The voice of rare diseases needs to be strong and loud.

Students from the school Todor Angelevski Bitola got involved in support for rare diseases. Their teacher Dragana Sherdenkov shared information with them about what Rare disease are and why we need to support these families.

“Rêver seul ne reste qu’un rêve, rêver ensemble devient la réalité”.

Under the motto If you dream alone, it will stay a dream and if we dream together we can make it a reality, the students who learn Italian and French, in the school Kliment Ohridski, Bitola, lead by the teacher Maja Milevska – Kulevska, organized activities for RDD.
