Christmas Gifts for Children in the Raška Region – Christmas 2024
For eighteen years in a row, the Humanitarian Organization “Stara Raška” from Belgrade has been distributing Christmas gifts to sick and poor children in the Raška Region. This year, about 700 children under the age of 16 received a gift in the amount of 5,000 dinars. The gifts were received by children in the municipalities of Prijepolje, Priboj, Nova Varoš, Sjenica. The distribution of gifts took place on January 5 and 6, 2024. So far, about half a million euros have been distributed in this program, from donations from the Serbian diaspora in Canada.
The funds for the gifts were provided by the Humanitarian Foundation “Stara Raška” from Canada. The funds were collected from contributions from people from the diaspora and in the temples of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Canada. Half of the total funds raised were donated by the company MDG from Canada.
The distribution of donations this year was also carried out by “Stara Raška” from Belgrade according to an already developed template that functions successfully thanks to the good relations between the two sister “Stara Raškas”, the one from Canada and the one from Belgrade.
