A successful humanitarian campaign has delivered 240 New Year’s packages to Serbian children living in Kosovo and Metohija enclaves, with the Serbian Orthodox Church playing a key role in distribution through Draganac Monastery.
The initiative was organized by the Serbs in the Czech Republic association and its director Marina Perović. The campaign raised 120,048 Czech crowns and 61 euros (total of $1,240), which was enough to provide 240 gifts for children in the most difficult conditions in Kosovo, reports radiokontatkplus.org
The gifts have been transported from Prague to Belgrade and then delivered to Draganac Monastery in Kosovo, from where Serbian Orthodox priests will distribute them to children in the enclaves during the upcoming holidays. This distribution network, centered around the monastery, ensures the packages will reach children living in the most isolated and challenging circumstances.
“The action started from a heart that remembers what it's like to be a child in Kosovo and Metohija,” says Perović. “I myself grew up in those difficult circumstances, where fear and uncertainty were everyday experiences.”
The successful implementation was made possible through cooperation between multiple organizations, including the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia, the Serbian Orthodox Church, local entrepreneurs, and individual donors from various countries.
The Serbs in the Czech Republic organization has been supporting Serbs and foreigners in the Czech Republic for 12 years through humanitarian, cultural, and advisory activities.
