"I have been engaged ever since the early days of Germin on advisory role capacity and this journey with Germin has reawakened my love and connection with Kosova. Apart from that it has presented me with an opportunity to meet some truly inspiring changemakers that I continue working to this day."

"Germin in Kosovo is a really good example of such an organisation who are perfectly placed to turn brain drain into brain gain and brain exchange. Made up of talented and passionate professionals who have researched the potential and identified key Kosovans overseas they have put in place the building blocks and structures to convert sentiment and goodwill into practical projects which will benefit their homeland. Germin have identified global best practice in Diaspora engagement and can become one of the leaders in this field."

"GERMIN has fast emerged as an exemplar diaspora organization. Through their creative, fresh and innovative approaches, they have created structures and systems of diaspora engagement that will be formative processes for the diaspora sector for the foreseeable future. Every country working on diaspora needs a GERMIN as their models of work have answered one of the age-old questions of diaspora engagement by building trust through their authenticity of work. I have no doubt their expertise and models will be exported globally very soon. I have had the pleasure of seeing GERMIN grow from pretty much a blank canvas to a leading light for its peers on diaspora work. After spending time with their incredible team, at both an executive and operational level, the future is bright for GERMIN. The energies and expertise that flow through their team, which represents the inherent diversity required for effective impact in the networked 21st century, are a constant source of inspiration for my work. They are just a brilliant bunch led by an ethos and value driven spirit fit for our times. They are doing an incredible job for their region and partners so we should never take them for granted. Therefore, I encourage anyone reading this to support these incredible young people to achieve their aspirations through this incredible organization."
