CHILDREN’S RETURN FROM THE UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY IN GREECE

Belgrade, 29 July, 2004 – The third group of our youngsters from the homes for children without parental care returned yesterday from Greece, where they spent their holiday thanks to the efforts of TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine. This year too, the hosts to our children were the international caps in Greece.

The group of children from the homes “Drinka Pavlovic” from Belgrade and “Vera Radivojevic” from Bela Crkva were staying for 10 days at the Kritinou camp in Kefalonia. The previous groups spent also summer in Kefalonia, and Attica peninsula.

The children and their teachers are grateful to the Foundation of HRH Crown Princess Katherine and Their Royal Highnesses for organizing the warm welcome in Greece as well as their entire stay there, particularly pointing out the fact that for many of them this was their first time at the seaside.

Thanks to TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine, the Foundation of HRH Princess Katherine and the Humanitarian Organization “Lifeline Hellas”, which under patronage of HRH Princes Katherine, more than 50 children from the Homes for the children without parental care all over Serbia will spend the summer in Greece. The project was supported by the Ministry of Social Welfare of Serbia, the Humanitarian Organization “Lifeline Hellas”, and the Foundation of HRH Princess Katherine, through their donors.

This is the continuation of the project initiated last year, when over 100 children from the Homes for the children without parental care visited Greece under the patronage of HRH Crown Princess Katherine, her Foundation, and the “Lifeline” humanitarian organization.
