Belgrade, 22 July 2003 – TRH Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown Princess
Katherine made it possible for more than 60 children from the Homes for
children without parental care from all over Serbia to spend this summer in
Greece, through mediation of the Foundation of HRH Crown Princess Katherine
and “Lifeline Hellas” humanitarian organization under patronage of HRH Crown
Princess Katherine.
The first group of children from the orphanage in Zvecanska street
departed on 5 July, and the second is going today, and will stay on holiday
until 8 August. On that occasion TRH Crown Prince Alexander II Crown
Princess Katherine and Prince Philip organized a reception at The Royal
Palace today for a group of 12 children from “Mosa Pijade” orphanage. The
reception was also attended by the executive manager of all Homes for the
children without parental care in Belgrade Mr. Milan Samardzija.
Their Royal Highnesses presented the children with new clothes and shoes
for their summer vacation, which was provided by local manufacturers. The
money for daily expenses of the children was given to one of the teachers,
Mr. Milivoj Vukosavljevic.
This project was supported by the Minister of Social Affairs Dr. Gordana
Matkovic with her associates and the City Hall of Belgrade with the Mayor
Mrs. Radmila Hrustanovic. The transport was provided by the Greek National
Railway.
This noble act of Their Royal Highnesses enabled children from several
orphanages to spend summer in camps in Greece. The young ones will go to
Greece in groups during the whole summer, and they will stay in children’s
camps “Happy Children – Happy Youth” in Agios Georgios in Attica peninsula,
the camp of the Greek NGO “Caritas Hellas” in Syros island, camp “Agios
Andreas” in Athens and camp Vironas.
Two week and three week programs will be organized for the children
during which they will learn about friendly Greece and meet with children
from all over Europe and make new friends.
