28. Jun Renovates Elementary School Near Vranje

When we heard that students at Bora Stanković elementary school in the village of Barelić, 20 km from Vranje, go to school in a classroom full of mold, in which the ceiling threatens to collapse, we could not turn our heads. So, we sent our volunteers to help! Renovations took several months and included the following:

• Full renovation of walls and ceilings

• New windows, doors, and installation of new laminate

• New electrical installation and lighting panels

• New stove for heating the school

We also equipped each student with waterproof winter shoes, new backpacks, and school supplies. We donated new benches, chairs, a new blackboard, St. Sava icons, a new computer, geographical and historical maps, and an interactive globe, which will provide children with easier access to learning. However, what made the children the happiest were the new basketballs, volleyballs, and soccer balls, and that is how we ended our day – laughing and playing together!

„Зовем се Милијана. Имам 9 година и хоћу да живим.”

ПОТРЕСНА ПРИЧА СА ПЛАНИНЕ: Тешко болесна Милијана (9) и њена бака живе саме, далеко од цивилизације, ФАЛИ ИМ СВЕ!

Драги пријатељу,

 

Милијана је тешко болесна, десни бубрег јој је потпуно отказао, а леви је тешко инфициран, не може да прича нити да хода самостално. О Милијани се брине њена стара бака Лепосава, како она не може да хода, прича нити да гута чврсту храну. Бака Лепосава јој мења катетер на сваких пола сата, пасира и спрема једину храну коју Милијана може да једе (плазму и златни пек, супу), мења пелене и ради све што може за њу.

ENGLISH

Лепосава не прима ни пензију, већ се пријављује за једнократну помоћ због свих трошкова лечења, коју јој некад одобре, а некад не. Живе на планини, у засеоку Дурак, 40км од Кладова, где живи мали број домаћинстава, и мало чега има. Живе у кући од блата, старој 100 година, где немају ни купатило, ни веш машину. Лепосава сваког месеца иде у Кладово по катетере, газе, стерилне рукавице и осталу медицинску опрему коју мора да купи Милијани, али да би добила ово без чега Милијана не може да живи мора унапред да уплати новац апотеци, што није увек у могућности да уради. Није се много променило за две године од наше последње посете.

Како се зима ускоро приближава, као и сама опасност од урушавања, повећана буђ и друге непогоде, представљају све опаснију ситуацију за живот и здравље Милијане и њене баке, ми немамо другог избора него да изнајмимо тежу машинерију и поставимо им нову монтажну кућу на тој удаљеној планини.

Живот није имао милости према овој девојчици, њена једина нада смо ми и ви, немојмо да је разочарамо, донирајте, промените јој живот.

Baka Leposava and her disabled granddaughter could freeze this winter, this is why we need you

Milijana and her grandma, Leposava, live in a village so small that it’s not listed on the map. Residing in a remote mountain, 40km from Kladovo, their heart-breaking yet heroic story is one our volunteers cannot get off their minds. We first introduced you to Milijana in 2019 when she was 6 years old. Born with cerebral palsy and a serious kidney disorder, unable to speak, walk without assistance or eat solid food. Milijana has only known love from one person in her life; her grandmother.

SRPSKI

Grandma Leposava is perhaps the most heroic individual we have come across in 11 years of humanitarian work. Since Milijana was born, her grandma has changed her catheter, changed her diapers, prepared her food and cared for her every need, every moment of every day. The fact that Milijana is kept in such good hygiene while living in a 100-year-old, mud house is a testament to the lion-hearted spirit of her grandmother, who has dedicated her whole life to caring for her.

Since we met the family, we have done everything we could to help, including delivering a new kitchen sink, refrigerator, bed mattress, blender, new wardrobe, diapers and regularly sending money for ongoing medical treatments. However, proper renovation or the construction of a new house in this remote area has proved extremely challenging. Because the family has lived off the land for generations, it is all they know and moving them to a different location is also not an option.

With winter soon approaching and the danger of collapse and mold becoming increasingly hazardous for Milijana and her grandma, we have no choice but to rent heavy equipment and force a prefabricated home up this remote mountain. Grandma Leposava will never beg the pharmacists for free catheters for Milijana again. Our plan is to get them in a warm home, take care of their medical costs and provide them with a dignified life.

28. Jun će pokrenuti pravni postupak protiv lista ,,Novosti” zbog klevete

28. Jun je primoran da pokrene pravni postupak protiv lista ,,Novosti” zbog članka koji sugeriše da 28. Jun zloupotrebljava novac prikupljen za malog Pavla Dimitrijevića i njegovu porodicu.

Naša organizacija je donirala 300,000 dinara Danici Dimitrijevic (dokaz ispod) što je bilo više nego dovoljno da pokrije sve troškove porodice vezane za putovanje u Beograd i sastanke sa doktorima, kao i druge hitne potrebe do sada.

U finalnim smo etapama kupovine i opremanja kuće za porodicu Dimitrijević, i uspostavljanja fonda za prikupljanje novca za malog Pavla, SAMO TRI NEDELJE NAKON ŠTO SMO NAJAVILI AKCIJU.

U potrazi smo za kućom koja će odgovarati porodici od prve nedelje.

Novcu koji je prikupljen na Instagramu potrebno više od mesec dana da dospe, dok SMS porukama nekada treba i do 2 meseca. List ,,Novosti” je bio svestan ovoga jer je to način na koji sve humanitarne organizacije u Srbiji funkcionišu, ali su uprkos tome odlučili da objave svoj klevetnički članak.

Izazivamo Vas da pronadjete bilo koji drugi slučaj u istoriji Srbije u kojem je kuća kupljena za manje od tri nedelje.

Ovo je čista kleveta naše organizacije i to nećemo tolerisati. Ovakve priče škode najranjivijima u Srbiji i mi smo primorani da pokrenemo pravni postupak. Svi pravni troškovi biće pokriveni od strane članova organizacije 28. Jun.

Našim donorima se zahvaljujemo na 11 godina podrške. Nastavićemo da vas činimo ponosnim.

28. Jun je prva humanitarna organizacija sa Zapadnog Balkana koja je 2018. godine dobila specijalni konsultativni status pri Ujedinjenim Nacijama – odseku za ekonomska i socijalna pitanja (ECOSOC), specijalnu asocijaciju sa odsekom za globalne komuniacije Ujedinjenih Nacija 2019. godine, i 2020. bila učesnik programa Ujedinjenih Nacija – Global Compact. Takođe, mi smo jedina organizacija u regionu koja ima CAF sertifikaciju u SAD-u nakon što su naše finansije, rad na terenu i svi merljivi rezultati bili provereni – zbog čega smo dobili specijalni poreski status u SAD. Mi smo poslednji bastion za sve one porodice i pojedince koji traže slamku spasa. Proglašeni smo za najefikasniju humanitarnu organizaciju koja deluje na području zapadnog Balkana.

HITNO: Dvogodišnji Pavle nema prste i mora odmah da operiše vilicu! Porodica bez vode i higijenskih uslova prepuštena da preživljava

U selu Zdravinje nadomak Kruševca živi porodica Dimitrijević, u zasigurno najgorim nedaćama koje smo dosad imali prilike da vidimo. Majka Ivana i otac Jovan imaju četvoro dece od kojih je dvoje ometeno u razvoju i sa teškim zdravstvenim problemima.

Najmlađi sin, Pavle (2 godine) ima težak oblik Aperovog sindroma i potrebna mu je hitna operacija rekonstrukcije vilice, kao i proteze za prste koji mu nedostaju. Pored svega, Pavle takođe boluje od konjuktivitisa, koji mu izuzetno otežava vid. Ogromna je maza i izrazito druželjubiv, ali zbog navedenih poteškoća još uvek ne može da izgovori svoje prve reči.

Stariji stan Marko takođe ima genetske anomalije na rukama i teško govori, ali uprkos tome on se trudi i završava srednju školu za decu sa posebnim potrebama.

I sama majka je jako bolesna, genetske anomalije na rukama joj otežavaju obavljanje poslova, ali daje sve od sebe za svoju porodicu. Njoj, kao i njenoj deci, konjuktivitis je doveo do toga da jedva može da vidi.

Ćerke Milica (5) i Marija (13) idu u školu i pomažu mami da održava domaćinstvo i vodi brigu o malom Pavlu, ali i najstarijem bratu Marku (18) koji ima teške smetnje u razvoju. One stižu i da kuvaju i da čuvaju braću, čiste kuću i budu odlične u školi.

Iako otac Jovan radi, primanja su mala i jedva sakupe za hranu i struju. Vodu nemaju, kao ni kupatilo, a snalaze se tako što je uzimaju sa obližnjeg bunara. Kuća je hladna, oronula i pri urušavanju.

Uprkos svemu, deca su umiljata, vesela i toliko zahvalna i na prvom paketu pomoći, koji smo im odneli pri poseti.

Naš plan je da ovoj porodici obezbedimo potpuno nov i topao dom i pomognemo u lečenju malog Pavla, Marka i mame Ivane.

Molim vas, pomozite nam da olakšamo život ovoj namučenoj porodici i obezbedimo im dostojanstven život. Možete donirati na sledeće načine:

Two-year-old Pavle has no fingers and has to undergo urgent jaw surgery!

The village of Zdravinje near Kruševac is home to the Dimitrijević family. We do not take it lightly when we say these are the worst conditions we have seen. Mother Ivana and father Jovan have four children, two of whom are developmentally disabled and have serious health problems.

The youngest son, Pavle (2) has a severe form of Aper’s Syndrome and needs urgent jaw reconstruction surgery, as well as prostheses for his missing fingers. In addition to everything, due to poverty and lack of clean water, Pavle also suffers from untreated Conjunctivitis, which makes it extremely difficult for him to see. He is cuddly and extremely sociable, but due to his health issues he still can’t say his first words.

Eldest son Marko also has genetic anomalies on his hands and has difficulty speaking. Despite this, he is working hard to graduate from high school for children with special needs. The mother is also very sick, having only three fingers makes doing chores difficult, but she gives her all for her family. As is the case with her children, conjunctivitis has left her barely able to see.

Daughters Milica (5) and Marija (13) go to school and help their mother to maintain the household and take care of little Pavle as well as their eldest brother Marko (18), who has severe developmental disabilities. They come to cook and take care of their brothers, clean the house, but still manage to excel in school.

Although father Jovan works, his income is small and it barely covers food and electricity. They don’t have a bathroom or water, which they have to get from a nearby well. The house is cold, dilapidated and about to collapse. Despite everything, the children are affectionate, cheerful and were so grateful for the first aid package we brought them during our visit.

Our plan is to provide this family with a brand new and warm home and help with the medical treatment of little Pavle, his brother Marko, and mom Ivana. Please help us make life easier for this family of fighters and provide them with a dignified life. You can donate in the following ways:

Humanitarian organization 28. Jun has launched a second wave of fundraising to complete the construction of the first Jasenovac memorial temple in Republika Srpska

new promotional video featuring young actress Biljana Cekic (Dara of Jasenovac) was released to help bring awareness to the project. Additionally, 28. Jun Executive Director Snezana Dimitrijevic gave a string of interviews to both international and domestic media to drum up support for the project.

Several weeks prior, 28. Jun purchased all the bricks needed to build the memorial. However, funds are still needed to finish this critical project to immortalize the Serbian victims of the Jasenovac extermination camp. Please join us in honoring their martyrdom by supporting our initiative:

This is an Elementary School in Serbia in 2022 (Shocking Pictures)

Black mold, no heat, crumbling walls, a roof which can cave in at any moment. These are the conditions in which 16 students from ‘O.Š Bora Stanković’ elementary school near Vranje must try to learn in.


While many of you spent your summer on the coast or in Belgrade, our volunteers have spent their summer in Serbia’s south. These pictures are why…The dying village of Barelić is typical for this region, once boasting a large school with many students, now only 16 remain, forced to study in appalling conditions.

Not for long! We plan to clean up, renovate and equip every student with school supplies, so they too, are given the same opportunity to succeed as their peers in Belgrade and Novi Sad.

We don’t have long before the start of the school year. We are their only hope at a brighter future. Please give generously:

28. Jun increases donation to Sokobanja mine victims to 10 million RSD

We are donating another 1.2 million RSD, in addition to the 8.8 million RSD we have already donated, toward relief of the Sokobanja mine accident. The additional funds will be divided evenly among the 20 surviving miners to assist with their medical expenses. The first 8.8 million RSD was divided among the families of the 8 miners who tragically died. We have also commissioned a memorial mural (pictured above) to be painted in Aleksinac, the hometown of the miners. Our organization will never forget the sacrifice of these men and will continue to support their community in years to come. Thank you to everyone who assisted in this project.

28. Jun will increase the special projects budget from $110,000 to $1 million

Due to an explosion of new donors in the last several months, we have made the decision to significantly increase the money earmarked for our special projects marking our 10-year anniversary. The total will be increased to $1 million from the previous $110,000. Additionally, the project(s) as well as our 10-year anniversary celebrations will be extended to June 28th, 2023. Being volunteer-based, our organization did not use the increase in donations to open new offices, increase salaries or stash the funds for a “rainy day”— all resources are put right back into our communities to help the most needy and support worthwhile projects.
