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:

A 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:

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:

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.

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.

2022 marks the grim 80th anniversary of the opening of the Jasenovac concentration camp. Many are familiar with the name and associate it with the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), there is a museum, monument and Church in the village. However, unless you’ve been there, you might not know that several camps were located in today’s Republika Srpska, on the Bosnian side of the Sava and Una rivers. This included the infamous Kozara camp which focused on the killing of children, with the oldest victim being just 14 years old.

You might also be surprised, that despite several attempts, there is no Church in the area dedicated to the martyrs of the camp. This is why 28. Jun and our partners will build the first Church in the Banja Luka diocese dedicated to victims of Jasenovac. The foundation of the Church of the Holy Martyrs of Jasenovac in Medjuvodje has received blessing from our Church and work has begun. Please join us in honoring the martyrdom of Serbian men, women and children who perished on these grounds by supporting this important project.

##

2022. godine obeležava se mračna 80. godišnjica otvaranja koncentracionog logora Jasenovac. Mnogima je to ime poznato i povezuju ga sa Nezavisnom Državom Hrvatskom (NDH), u selu Jasenovac se nalazi muzej, spomenik i crkva. Međutim, osim ako niste bili tamo, možda ne znate da se nekoliko logora nalazilo u današnjoj Republici Srpskoj, na bosanskoj strani reka Save i Une. To je uključivalo zloglasni logor Kozara koji se bavio ubijanjem dece, a najstarija žrtva je imala samo 14 godina.

Možda ćete se takođe iznenaditi, da uprkos nekoliko pokušaja, na području ne postoji crkva posvećena logorskim mučenicima. Zbog toga će 28. Jun i naši partneri izgraditi prvu Crkvu u Banjalučkoj eparhiji posvećenu žrtvama Jasenovca. Temelj Crkve Svetih Jasenovačkih mučenika u Međuvođu dobio je blagoslov naše Crkve i radovi su počeli. Molimo vas da nam se pridružite u odavanju počasti mučeničkim stradanjima srpskih muškaraca, žena i dece koji su stradali na ovoj zemlji, tako što ćete podržati ovaj važan projekat.

We have reached an incredible milestone! 28. Jun has donated over $10 million worth of humanitarian aid just one month before our 10th anniversary!

What makes this feat so impressive is that we have done it completely organically. We have never applied for or received a grant from any government, foreign NGO or international bank. Our average donation is slightly over $2 — we are, and have always been, 100% powered by the people!

We have the highest impact per-dollar of any organization operating in the region and we conduct ongoing monitoring to make sure we are the most efficient humanitarian movement out there. Bottom line: we value your hard-earned money and we get all of it to those who need help, fast!

Došli smo do neverovatne prekretnice! Organizacija 28. Jun je samo mesec dana pre svoje desetogodišnjice donirala humanitarnu pomoć u vrednosti od preko 10 miliona dolara!

Ono što ovaj podvig čini tako impresivnim je činjenica da smo ga ostvarili potpuno prirodno. Nikada nismo aplicirali za sredstva niti ih dobili od bilo koje vlade, strane nevladine organizacije ili međunarodne banke. Naša prosečna donacija je nešto veća od 2 dolara — i sada i oduvek su nas stoprocentno ljudi pokretali!

Imamo najveći uticaj po dolaru od bilo koje organizacije koja deluje u regionu i sprovodimo stalni nadzor kako bismo bili sigurni da smo najefikasniji humanitarni pokret na ovim prostorima. Zaključak: cenimo vaš teško zarađeni novac i brzo ga dostavljamo onima kojima je potrebna pomoć!

Humanitarian organization 28. Jun joined the Naša Kuća association in opening the first Serbian school in Croatia outside of Vukovar today. The school is located in the village of Đevrske near Knin. There 30 students will learn the Serbian language, alphabet, history, culture and traditions. The Deputy Prime Minister of Croatia Anja Šimpraga joined 28. Jun Associate Director Sava Vojnović for the opening of the school.

Our ongoing sustainable development project in Croatia which provides economic stimulus to the Serbian community in Croatia, has surpassed $150,000 USD in investments to date. Last September, his Holiness Patriarch Porfirije joined us in hosting 30 young scholars from Croatia who had been awarded our ‘Nikola Tesla’ scholarships. 28. Jun also supported earthquake relief efforts in Croatia last year.

40 days after the tragedy at the Sokobanja mine, international humanitarian organization 28. Jun announced the donation of 8.8 million RSD to the families of the 8 miners who tragically lost their lives on April 1st. The organization revealed the amount donated at the 1st World Youth Assembly at the United Nations in Geneva, while calling for stronger safety regulations in Serbia’s mines. It is the largest cash donation the organization paid out at one time in its 10-year history.

Serbs from all over the world of sport showed their support, led by world no. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic, Luka Jovic of LaLiga’s Real Mardid, Bogdan Bogdanovic of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks, and Milan Lucic of the NHL’s Calgary Flames. Joining Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic from the tech world, the region’s leading Twitch streamer Nikola “Nikolarn” Anicic also contributed. From the world of entertainment, Hollywood film producer Gordon Bijelonic, film director and activist Boris Malagurski, musician Mihajlo “Voyage” Veruovic, singer and humanitarian Danica Karic and supermodel Sofija Milosevic lent their support as well.

28. Jun president and founder Filip Filipi stated: “I want to thank everyone who supported this project, starting with the Serbian people and their overwhelming response through donations, shares, and encouragement. I want to thank our celebrities from sport to entertainment and tech, who came together and showed these families they are not alone. I wanted to thank our 28. Jun volunteers, who barely slept during these 5 weeks to make this donation a reality. Lastly, I want to recognize that our government also donated, a slightly smaller amount, to the families in the immediate aftermath of the accident, and we look forward to working with them on strengthening safety regulations in Serbia so that these men did not die in vain.”

28. Jun is an international humanitarian organization in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Since 2012, they have delivered 235 tons of humanitarian, medical, and disaster relief aid worth over $10 million to the Western Balkans. Their much-anticipated report for the UN on the environmental picture in the region, which will include recommendations on worker safety in the mining industry, is expected to be released in the near future.

The 28. Jun delegation spent a week at the United Nations in Geneva and addressed the 24th session of the Working Group on Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, the 1st World Youth Assembly and a special session of the Union of Arab Banks.
