Last week we visited Strahinja, Mihajlo and Nemanja in Gracanica, 3 brave young boys who lost both their parents to tragic circumstances. Our members delivered everything on the boy’s wish list; smartphones, a tablet, a pool, school supplies and tickets to Belgrade to watch their favorite team, Partizan. Our movement was born 5 ago years with a delivery of medical supplies to Serbs in Gracanica and we pledge to continue to stand with our people living in Kosovo and Metohija.

WE DO MORE WITH LESS

Here are the charitable projects we completed this summer:

– We donated 3 industrial heaters to the St. Mary’s Church in Plaski, Lika – the biggest Serbian Orthodox Church outside of Serbia proper. We want to thank members of the Serbian Orthodox Church of St. Sava (Kilkenny) and members of the Serbian community in Adelaide, South Australia for assisting us with this project.

– We completed our humanitarian project to equip impoverished Serbian areas with computers with a delivery of 4 desktops to the ‘Retirement Center Kragujevac’. 28.
