A million sublime steps of a young boy from Podgorica

A fifteen – year old Andrija Đukić from Podgorica is bravely taking his million steps for the children in “Be Human” Foundation.

Picturesque landscapes of France and Spain featured in “The way” film have inspired Andrija to start a journey of his dreams. On 20 June, together with his mother, Andrija went on a 900 km long journey, within the humanitarian action “Million steps”, with the aim of helping collect the money for the treatment of children in “Be Human” foundation.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about the ways I can help children who need the help most. And I found the answer in “The Way” film. This is the answer. Pilgrims carry this stone on their way. It represents suffering and sorrow of the one who is carrying it. That’s what i’m going to do, in Cruise de Fero, the highest point of the journey. Symbolically, I will leave their pain there”, said the boy before he went on to pursue his noble goal.

And while most people were spending those hot days in air conditioned rooms, Andrija was walking for the kids and resisting fatigue, heat, pains…

“We are now on the Meseta section. It’s  232 km long. They say it’s dangerous. It affects the psyche. Many have given up right at this point. I’m not surprised, I was able to see myself hoe Meseta impacts a person”, the boy describes his travels around Spain.

Desert, no protection from the sun and the heat, relentless desert…

“I will keep walking for the kids. I will keep fighting the fatigue and the heat and pains, every single day… A miracle might happen. I will believe until the very end”, says this brave boy.

The Way of Saint James, pilgrimage route begins in Saint Jean Pied in France and leads to the Spanish Santiago de Compostela.

During the travel, pilgrims carry the “Credential”, a passport. They get the seal as a confirmation that they are on the Way of Saint James.

Pilgrims who complete the pilgrimage successfully receive Compostela, the official certificate of completion.

Andrija hopes that this experience will help him overcome his weaknesses and his fears.
