The annual humanitarian banquet of the foundation was held in the building of SKUD Oplenac in Mississauga, on February 18, 2007. The president of the foundation addressed a gathering of about 300 people and, appealing to everyone to help humanitarian actions, thanked the donors for the past year with the words:
“Companies and individuals who help the foundation’s actions have made it possible for donations to poor children and this Christmas to reach the homeland, as well as the voice for white eagles to live and survive in Canada, celebrating Glory, nurturing tradition and origin, and representing their people to the West.” the truth about him, and the goodness in which they were raised and which they took with them, they bring back to their homeland on the wings of angels. ”
The Foundation helped over 2,000 poor Serbian children through two historical, in the homeland recognized and decorated actions, “Canadian Serbs for the Children of Serbia”, performed for Christmas 2006 and 2007.
This Christmas, the Stara Raska Foundation also donated financial humanitarian aid to poor children in Serbia. On this occasion, the beneficiaries were children born after 1990 in families where neither parent is employed, meaning in families without any income. This year’s list included over 450 qualified children, who received 100 (one hundred) Canadian dollars each. Donations were also received by a number of sick children and homeless elderly people from Stari Ras and Raska.
Like every Christmas, with donations to children in Serbia, we sent greetings from Canada with the message that they are not forgotten, that they respect and love their people and country because that is the only way to progress.
The Canadian-Serbian Humanitarian Foundation Stara Raska, with its humanitarian action, sowed the seeds of goodness in the hills and valleys of the homeland this Christmas as well. Thousands of children in Serbia are already growing fed on the fruit grown from that seed, which was sown by Canadian Serbs last Christmas.
The management of the foundation thanks all those who with their donations enabled us to sow the seeds of goodness this Christmas season and we appeal to all good people to approach the donations in order to do so for Christmas 2008 and beyond.
