The development of education and the support of young, talented students remain central to the activities of the “ZAEV – One Society for All” Foundation.

The latest financial support from our foundation is dedicated to the young music enthusiast and talented violinist, Ilija Bogoev from Negotino. This donation of 180,000 denars is intended for the purchase of a new violin for this promising student.

Ilija Bogoev completed his primary education with excellent success, earning recognition as the best student of his generation. Alongside his regular schooling, he also completed lower music school in Negotino under the guidance of teacher Menka Bogoevska. Ilija has won around 50 awards at national and international music competitions, including: First Prize at the International Music Competition “Ohrid te sakam” – Ohrid; First Prize at “Polyhymnia” – Skopje; Special Prize at the International Online Competition “Artisti dell’Arco” – Italy; First Prize at the “Music and Earth” Competition – Bulgaria; among many others.

As an exceptionally promising violinist, Ilija will continue his musical education at the State Music and Ballet School Center “Ilija Nikolovski – Luj” in Skopje, which marks a crucial step towards fulfilling his aspirations in musical art. For this next stage, and according to his mentor, a higher-class violin is necessary to meet the demands of future secondary and higher education. Our foundation has provided the full amount required for such an instrument, allowing Ilija to continue his musical journey successfully.

We wish this talented young man from Negotino every success and hope that all his dreams come true.
