International humanitarian organization, 28. Jun, reached two significant milestones this week! On Friday, we held our 300th event since our formation in 2011, it took place in Chicago and we were extremely happy with the turnout and community support. 28. Jun members have worked tirelessly holding fundraisers and awareness events in over 120 cities across 30 countries over the past 5 years. On Tuesday, we passed 250,000 Fans on our Facebook page, giving us a reach of over half a million people when combined with our other social media platforms and our mailing list.

With such achievements, comes great responsibility and accountability to our supporters, which we take very seriously, this is why for FULL TRANSPARENCY we have now updated the blog section of our official website https://28jun.org/blog/ and included all our humanitarian deliveries since 2011. Additionally, even more detailed documentation of every delivery has been added to the ‘Albums‘ section of our official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/28jun/photos/?tab=albums

28. Jun’s audited financials, prepared by an independent accounting firm and an independent appraiser in Canada, in concert with an audit oversight committee, can be viewed/downloaded on: https://28jun.org/transparency/ Lastly, because we operate in regions where the stigma of corruption and clientelism is rampant, we are in the process of partnering with PwC’s Global X Assessor division. The Swiss-based firm uses the latest technology and innovation to appraise the quality of our humanitarian work through analytics, real time assessment of our projects, monitoring, and reporting while significantly reducing the cost of our administrative work.

We pride ourselves on our efficient management of resources, for every $1 donated to 28. Jun, we have delivered $28 worth of humanitarian aid to needy families and communities. We are the only WHS-affiliated organization working in the Western Balkans and we are privileged to have formed lasting partnerships with the Red Cross and the UN.

Međunarodna humanitarna organizacija 28. Jun ove nedjelje obeležava dva bitna događaja! U petak smo u Čikagu održali svoj 300. po redu event od osnivanja organizacije 2011., i izuzetno smo zadovoljni ne samo sa odazivom, već i iskazanom podrškom cele zajednice. Kroz poslednjih 5 godina, članovi 28. Juna su se pokazali neumornim – u samo tih 5 godina, organizovali su evente za prikupljanje humanitarnih sredstava i podizanje svesti u više od 120 gradova u 30 zemalja širom sveta. Od utorka se naša Facebook stranica može pohvaliti sa više od 250.000 fanova, što znači da nam sad, kad dodamo druge društvene mreže i mailing listu, doseg uključuje više od pola milijona ljudi!

Ovakva dostignuća takode nalažu veliku odgovornost prema svima koji nas podržavaju, odgovornost koju shvatamo veoma ozbiljno. Zato smo nedavno, sa ciljem APSOLUTNE TRANSPARENTNOSTI, ažurirali blog naše službene web-stranice (https://28jun.org/blog/) i naveli sve humanitarne dostave od 2011. nadalje. Uz to, detaljnija dokumentacija svake isporuke je dodana u Albumewebstranice: https://www.facebook.com/28jun/photos/?tab=albums.

Revidirani financijski izveštaji organizacije, pripremljeni od strane nezavisne računovodstvene tvrtke kao i nezavisnog procenitelja u Kanadi, u dogovoru s nadzornim odborom za reviziju, se mogu pregledati i downloadati ovde: https://28jun.org/transparency/. Pošto delujemo u delu sveta u kojem je stigma klijentelizma i korupcije još uvek sveprisutna, trenutno sklapamo partnerstvo sa divizijom Global X Assessoršvajcarske kompanije PwC, koja koristi najnovije tehnologije i inovacije kako bi procenila kvalitet našeg humanitarnog rada pomoću analitike, procenom projekata u stvarnom vremenu, nadgledanjem, i izveštavanjem, tako istovremeno smanjujući administrativne troškove.

Ponosimo se i našim efikasnim korištenjem resursa – za svaki $1 doniran 28. Junu, mi smo dostavili humanitarnu pomoć u vrednosti od $28 potrebitim porodicama i zajednicama, Takode smo jedina organizacija povezana s Svetskim humanitarnim samitom (eng. WHS) koja deluje na Zapadnom Balkanu, a i čast nam je što smo uspostavili trajna partnerstva sa Crvenim krstom i Ujedinjenim nacijama.

28. Jun, the largest Serbian diaspora organization, will be responsible for the marketing and branding of an Emir Kusturica-backed exhibition about Jasenovac entitled ‘Hidden Holocaust’. As reported in the Serbian and Russian media, the art exhibit will be held at the United Nations in New York on Holocaust Remembrance Day which falls on April 23, 2017. 28. Jun will partner with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, the Andric Institute, the University of Belgrade and the Jasenovac Research Institute, on what promises to be largest exposé on the concentration camp ever organized in the West. Over 500,000 Serbs, 40,000 Roma, 33,000 Jews and 127,000 Anti-Fascists, including many Croats, were executed in the camp complex from 1941 to 1945.

28. Jun plans to counter the rise of extremism and anti-Serbism which has swept Croatia since the formation of the new nationalist government. The organization led the Oluja remembrance march in Belgrade last Friday, forced the leading German dictionary to redefine ‘Ustase’ two weeks ago and successfully completed the digital #NoKosovoUnesco campaign in late 2015 . In addition to its anti-defamation projects, 28. Jun is the largest Serbian humanitarian organization in the world, having delivered $4.6 mil worth of aid to Serbs throughout the Balkans since 2011.

28. Jun, kao najveća organizacija srpske dijaspore, će biti odgovorna za marketing i brending izložbe o Jasenovcu pod pokroviteljstvom Emira Kusturice, naslovljene ‘Skriveni Holokaust’ (eng. Hidden Holocaust). Kao što prenose srpski i ruski mediji, umetnička izložba će biti postavljena u Ujedinjenim narodima u Njujorku na Medunarodni dan sećanja na žrtve Holokausta, 23. aprila, 2017. Organizacija će u saradnji sa Ministarstvom vanjskih poslova, Andrićevim institutom, Univerzitetom u Beogradu i Institutom za istraživanje zločina u Jasenovcu ostvariti najveći ekspoze o koncentracionom logoru Jasenovcu ikad na Zapadu. Od 1941. do 1945., više od 500.000 Srba, 40.000 Roma, 33.000 Jevreja i 127.000 anti-fašista, uključujući i mnogo Hrvata, je pogubljeno u kompleksu logora.

28. Jun planira odgovoriti na porast ekstremizma i svojevrsnog anti-srpstva koji su se proširili Hrvatskom nakon formiranja nove nacionalistički orijentisane vlade. Organizacija je bila na čelu mimohoda u sjećanje na žrtve Oluje u Beogradu prošlog petka, pre dve nedelje je naterala vodeći nemački rečnik da ispravi pojam ‘Ustaša’ i uspešno je #NoKosovoUnesco digitalnu kampanju privela kraju prošle godine. Uz realizaciju projekata namenjenih borbi protiv klevetanja srpskog naroda, 28. Jun je najveća srpska humanitarna organizacija na svetu; od samo 2011. je dostavila pomoć u vrednosti od $4,6 milijuna Srbima diljem Balkana.
