"C'è un bambino che... a Baošići!"

Grazie al nostro amico, Giuseppe Torre, che non dimentichiamo... grazie a chi ha acquistato il libro "Gli anni di Rosa"... grazie a quelli che hanno sottoscritto per l'alluvione in Serbia... e, infine, grazie a tutti coloro che ci hanno semplicemente aiutato a organizzare, anche per quest'anno, una vacanza per bambini serbi provenienti da Kraljevo e dal Kosovo e Metohija, in particolare dai villaggi di Gračanica, Novo Brdo, Gnjilane.


In tutto, più di 30 ragazzini in situazioni di vita difficoltose, con i rispettivi accompagnatori, sono stati al mare in Montenegro, a Baošići, in una struttura gestita dalla Croce Rossa Serba, per 10 giorni, grazie al finanziamento di Un Ponte per...

Un Ponte per... che continua a stare vicino ai figli delle vittime dei bombardamenti Nato del 1999 contro la Serbia, così come rimane vicino alle vittime dei disastri di oggi in Iraq, in Palestina, in Siria e dovunque può.

Nel realizzare queste solo apparentemente piccole iniziative, possiamo forse ancora trovare la forza di andare avanti.

Leggete cosa ci scrive la Croce Rossa Serba di Kraljevo e guardatevi qualche foto di questa, ennesima, felice vacanza.

Nel giorno in cui ci ha lasciati Robin Williams e il suo Peter Pan, qualche "pensiero felice" da condividere con tutti quelli che, come voi, con forza e coerenza ancora ci seguono.

 
"Dear Alessandro, dear Un Ponte per…,
Hope you are well. It is a time of seasonal annual vacations, we have a normal process of work with minimum employees. After long period of  intensive activities because of flood, our employees really need time for rest but still, in our warehouse, activities are going on. We are continuing
with delivering necessary things for affected people. This summer, weather conditions were not so good, it was too much rain and that was a problem for families whose houses were under the water, never enough sun for drying. We hope that they can resolve major problems before winter.

 
In our programs of holidays, thanks to our donors, for this summer, we included children almost from all families of affected area, who were in the age of 7-14.

Thanks to you and your organization we got a chance to help the children and sent to the sea not only children from affected area but also social vulnerable children and refuges. Together with Red Cross of Kosovo and Metohija we finished with our obligation from agreement. Children were spent wonderful time in Montenegro and back here with unforgettable memories. 

Both group, from Kraljevo and Kosovo and Metohija (Gracanica, Novo Brdo, Gnjilane), were living like one, they were spending time together, enjoying in sea and sharing their stories. Time that spent was priceless for all children. In resort Baosici, in time when our groups have been there, was 400 children from other cities in Serbia. It was a good chance for chidren to meet their peers from other cities, to share experience and acquire new knowledge, especially for children from Kosovo and Metohija because life for Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija is under isolation. Through the new friendship, children got confirmation that they are not alone, that they have their friends from other cities and they can share the good and bad. it was a chance for all children to forget on daily life which is not so easy for them. 

Educators who went with children were responsible. For one child from Kosovo( Miljan Mašić ), whose birthday was in that period, they were repared cake in order to celebrate his birthday. Every evening children were participate in evening program of resort, in masquerade, singing, acting, and many other activities. During the day they were attending the school of swimming, many workshops about connecting with Red Cross main acitivites. Many times, they were walking in the place Baosić to get to know the tradition and meet the culture.
 


Once again, we want to thank you because you are thinking on our children and every year you are providing holiday for them. We appreciate and we know what kind of effort you have to do to realize it.

Now, all is finished and we have to regulate our obligation for transport and accommodation, according to the our agreement. We got request for that (in attachment as scanned file, only as an information). We have to ask you
for transfer money as soon as possible in order to pay for this holiday.


Children has some message for you, we scanned it and send in this way (we will keep original to give you when you come here). Also, there is a pictures, only to feel a little atmosphere.  

Regional Secretary of Red Cross of Kosovo and Metohija, Dragiša Murganić, asked us to forward to you their appreciation for holiday. 

If you need some particular information or document, or something that you want to know, please ask.
Wishing you all the best."
