Founders

Renaldo Qafzezi
Renaldo came to the United States from Korçe, Albania,  having lived through post-communist transition and the events of 1997. This experience as well as his time spent in the lacking Albanian educational system motivated Renaldo to found Task Aid with Ervis and Mariglen to provide assistance to all transition nations in Southeastern Europe. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a BA in International Business and Entrepreneurship. He currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts. 

Ervis Topalli
Ervis came to the United States from Durres, Albania to attain a higher education which at that time was unavailable in Albania. His family played a big role in instilling the values of helping those in need, this led him to become a founder of Task Aid, which aids those who are in similar situations in which he grew up in. He is an alumnus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in Communications and minor in History and currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts.

Mariglen Yskollari
Mariglen came to the United States from Pogradec, Albania; he also lived through the difficult post-communist transition and crisis of 1997. His experiences in the educational system of the late 1990s fueled his desire to make improvements to the system for future generations. Following the Kosovo War, he and his family relocated to Massachusetts, where he became a founding member of Task Aid. Mariglen also graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a BS in Biology and currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts.
