I am a crochet volunteer for the Loops of Hope Club, even though my major is international relations, I still have a strong passion for creating art. I am orginally from Sarjevo, Bosnia and am in my last year at AUR.
Crocheting with Loop of Hope became my escape from academic stress. When I sit down with yarn and a hook, the noise of exams, assignments, and deadlines fades away.
Crocheting isn’t just relaxing, it’s grounding. It gives me space to breathe, reflect, and feel connected to the people around me. Knowing that what I’m creating will help support refugee education gives every stitch meaning.
Through crochet, I found community, mindfulness, and purpose. It reminds me that creativity can heal, connect, and empower not just myself, but others too.
