Jovana Stankovic

My name is Jovana Stankovic and I am privileged enough to have gone to Camp Awhi since I was nine years old. In 2017 I was severely burnt by a treadmill, and did not realise this support for children like me existed until I was asked to join in 2019, which I gladly accepted. I vividly remember my first camp in Napier being the highlight of my year, and it still continues to be even seven camps later. Furthermore, I was lucky enough to be one of the two children chosen to attend the Kids Foundation camp in Brisbane, Australia, which was my first time going. This healthy environment blossomed friendships and  experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life, and wouldn’t have experienced without the Burn Support Charitable Trust providing this kind of opportunity for me. When I graduate in 2028 I plan to give back the support I was given by becoming a volunteer leader and helping look after future campers.
