Every child deserves a safe and supportive environment to learn and grow. Recently, we were deeply moved by the story of Jelena, a single mother of three children, who has been struggling to provide for her family after losing her husband to the coronavirus pandemic.
Jelena's eldest son is in his first year of high school, her daughter is in the sixth grade, and her youngest son has just started first grade at Dositej Obradovic Elementary School in Kragujevac. The school’s principal reached out to us, asking for assistance in covering the monthly cost of extended school care for her youngest son. This program provides children with a safe place to stay after school, including supervision, a warm meal, and help with homework. Supporting this cost would allow Jelena to work and earn enough to provide for her children's basic needs, such as food and clothing.
Touched by this family's challenges, we responded immediately. In addition to covering the cost of extended school care, we also provided essential educational materials for other students in need at Dositej Obradovic Elementary School:
Textbooks Provided:
N.K. – 5th grade
L.G. – 6th grade
H.R. – 4th grade
