Many thanks to all the generous donors, and especially to Mr. Rade Savich, who recognized the needs of institutions in Serbia, and especially the needs of children who are without parental care. Vera Radivojevic Home for children and youth and its employees, is one of many social welfare institutions in Serbia that are working tirelessly for the better future of those who need love, warm support, and guidance during the most sensitive period in their lives. It was so rewarding and moving, to see the genuine smile on children's faces, knowing that we were privileged to help wonderful children and an outstanding team of professionals from the Vera Radivojevic Home.

The people of Serbia are always happy to know they have true and honest friends who, although living far from Serbia, do not forget those who are in need in our country”, said HRH Crown Princess Katherine.
