There are people whose voice not only conveys words, but also opens the door to new worlds for those who cannot read books with their eyes. One of them is Halisa Čengić, who enriched the collection of the Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired with her involvement.
Halisa Čengić was born in 1993 in Zagreb. She graduated from the “Mula Mustafa Bašeskija” elementary school and the First Bosniak Gymnasium in Sarajevo as the pride of her generation. She then graduated and received her master’s degree from the Faculty of Law, University of Sarajevo.
According to the Library, Čengić has been building a successful legal career for eleven years through work in the areas of war crimes, commercial and criminal law, and for the last three years has been successfully working as an independent lawyer in Sarajevo.
In addition to her professional engagement, Halisa is also a member of the Mountain Rescue Service of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which further confirms her dedication to helping others.
From May to July of this year, she was part of the volunteer family of the Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired. With her time, attention, and voice, she enabled library users to enjoy the works of one of the world’s greatest writers.
With great dedication, she read three masterpieces by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky: “White Nights,” “The Gambler,” and “The Double.”
Thanks to her voice, blind and visually impaired people will be able to experience the depth of Dostoevsky’s thoughts, follow the fates of his heroes, and enjoy the literary works that have marked world literature.
Her story shows that one person, with their time and selfless dedication, can open up entire worlds to others.
