do your best in some way you are influencing the others. And we did it, we started creating the
organization “ALVA”, and we have started doing different conferences implementing such an
impact on people’s lives. In our last activity organized on October 15, the World Values Day 2020
subject was "Values in Action - Solidarity". We gave attention to solidarity towards “Values in
Action” because we were inspired from the value of solidarity displayed during the difficult period
we went through from November 26 earthquake consequences, shocked us, but at the same time
the solidarity shown by Albanians inside and outside Albania as well as foreigners from many
countries of the world surprised us. This solidarity continued during the pandemic. The
commitment to humanism was multifaceted in different forms.

I believe that “The power of human values is to distribute goodness and well- being”. I believe
that in every person exists a hero of values. Each person is a hero at the moment he or she gives
the contribution to the others even with a smile, a word, material things etc. but at least he or she
is trying to help someone, it doesn’t matter if he/she knows the person or not, but the most
important thing is that he or she is trying to avoid hurting someone. This is another reason why we
did the online conference. Sharing experiences and encouraging focus based on values and
positivity. Solidarity is a value, but we have so many values. I advise you to read Richard books
because by reading his books, we understood better why we must believe in values and why we
should continue to believe in values.

Thank you, all of you who are part of the conference, for supporting us and did not hesitated to
accept our invitation, to be part of this conference and to trusting us to continue further with the
next steps to implement our plans by developing the network based on values. We really appreciate
that. This is solidarity. We deserve to have a better life, but together we can enjoy it better. Thank
you very much from the bottom of my heart.

Message: "Women do not have to wait to be respected, they have a lot of values on which their
power exists, they need to be aware to develop and be more solidary in achieving their rights. Men
are not our enemies, but our partners our supporters. We are human beings who deserve to enjoy
our life even in difficult times, we must find our inspiration inside or outside of us despite the
difficulties that exist. We need to empower to live our life better than yesterday and today.”

Before the Covid-19 started, always she was thinking – “We are running and
running every day and though the whole world looks like it is running, but
running into where. It seems that at some time, we were losing them kind of
self-reflection and exploring ourselves and finding or growing our values.
Because values I see as pillars, which keep us strong and values are those who cannot be changed
because of crisis or because of any negative energy that comes in our life. It's very important to believe on
what we do. Believing on that makes our very strong to keep our values to identify what our values majority
of my work is with people and I always try to help myself and to help them to explore our bright side,
because we all have so positive aspects and so many values, which we need to focus on. We really need to
