NEW FACELIFT<br />
FOR BELGRADE YOUTH CENTER<br />
June <strong>2008</strong> - The <strong>Telenor</strong> Foundation, the City of Belgrade, the U.S. Embassy Belgrade, through the Ambassador’s<br />
Fund <strong>for</strong> Refugees, and the Vlade Divac Children’s Foundation have joined <strong>for</strong>ces and funds to renovate the Shelter<br />
and Reception Center <strong>for</strong> Children and Adolescents in Belgrade. The shelter was fully refurbished to better suit the<br />
needs of the center’s protégées, and now includes renovated facilities and new educational and medical equipment.<br />
Donor assistance also made possible the publication of Say Hello to Somebody, a collection of short stories and<br />
drawings by the center’s youths.<br />
“The greatest satisfaction <strong>for</strong> the children and <strong>for</strong> all of us who work in centers like these is when society<br />
demonstrates its commitment to children and understands the challenges that they face. Every year, we<br />
accommodate up to 600 vulnerable children, including runways, migrants, and street children. We appreciate the<br />
generous support from donors, which has made it possible <strong>for</strong> us to better care <strong>for</strong> the children here. The impression<br />
these children have when they enter these clean, bright rooms is that someone will watch over them,” said the<br />
Center’s manager, Danijela Stajković.<br />
Donors and the press gathered at the center to celebrate the completion of the renovations. The event included<br />
a recital prepared by the children and featured popular singer Leontina. The children also read excerpts from Say<br />
Hello to Somebody.<br />
