That is why this donation is so important, and I am very grateful to the Nelson Family Charitable Foundation and the John and Mildred Medic Wuchenich Foundation, who have generously been supporting the work of Lifeline Chicago and my Foundation in Belgrade for many years”.
The Crown Princess continued: “Together, we have made a lot of children in Serbia happy. I am so glad that our people in the diaspora want to help our country and have not forgotten their homeland. They show that when there is love and willingness to help, we can do so much for the benefit of the children, who are our biggest treasure”.
“On behalf of the students, the staff of the elementary school “Moša Pijade” and on my behalf, I would like to thank Crown Princess Katherine for the donation of furniture for the classroom, school desks, school chairs, white school boards,) as well as for the reconstruction and the renovation of the school toilet. The donation means a lot to the school and the students because it provides better conditions for the pupils in the department of the elementary school”, said Ms. Suncica Jovic, school principal.
