At the end of last year, the diocesan Department of Christian Education, together with the Giolas Foundation in Chicago, announced its initiative to provide backpacks filled with school supplies for 2,000 students.

Each set includes a back pack, notebook, folders, pens, pencils, an eraser, pencil sharpener, ruler, scissors, crayons, color pencils, a calculator, notebook paper, a binder, and a cross with a small prayer card.

The Department initially hoped to gather the necessary supplies by the end of December, but the collection continues. According to the current inventory list, less than half of the supplies have been paid for so far.

Donation information and the current inventory needs can be found at the site of the Diocese of Eastern America.

It all began with a scandal. At the time when the progressives of mankind fought in a unified front against the dictator Milosevic and the “cursed Serbs,” one impudent French teenager dared to insist that France and Serbia share a long-standing relationship in the cultural sphere and as allies. And that all the Serbs had ever wanted was to protect their motherland and its people from disintegration.
