Give refugee children in Serbia hope for education

Back then, she was just a 10-year old girl. Natalija is born in a Refugee Camp where her parents and elder brothers and sister had been sheltered after fleeing the wars in the Balkans and one of about thirty children whose only home was that old building with high ceilings, no central heating and hot water, where in each room a family of at least four to five people lived together for already almost fifteen years.

The difference between Natalija and others was that her father had just had a severe heart attack and several bypasses and needed regular medication more expensive than all the social benefits that the family was receiving on a monthly basis. And she had a sad look in her enormous black eyes whilst smiling at us.
We asked her what she liked doing in her spare time. She showed us some poems that she had been writing, said that she liked singing and was a member of a school choir. And then she mentioned that she liked karate. She had started practicing karate in her fourth grade when the training sessions were held in her school. However, just before we came, the club changed the venue for practice and she had no money to pay the bus ticket to go to the practice anymore.

Thanks to you, Natalija started to receive our scholarship. Her father received his medication, and Natalija continued practicing karate over the years. Now, you can see how important your support was.

Several months ago, she sent us photos.

Once again, Natalija is a champion! She received two more medals in National championship in the karate in Serbia.

And you are our champions, for making it possible.

Stay with us for kindness and for children`s future.
