„WAKE UP SERBIA“ CAMPAIGN
September 2008 - Restrooms were built, as part of the campaign “Homework for All of Us”, run by the People’s
Office of the President of Serbia, in the elementary school in the village of Grlište. Thanks to the Telenor Foundation,
restrooms were built in six schools around Serbia. More than 1,000 schools in our country, mainly in rural regions, use
outhouses and classes are taught in buildings that do not meet basic hygienic standards.
Officials from the Telenor Foundation and the People’s Office of the President of Serbia visited the village of Grlište
near Zajecar. Ana Krstić, Manager of the Telenor Foundation, presented gifts to the remote class of the “Vladimir
Petkovic Dis” Elementary School during her visit. The package included balls, nets for volleyball, basketball and
soccer, and teaching materials, tools and books.
“LET’S WAKE IT SERBIA UP” CAMPAIGN
December 2008 - The Telenor Foundation has joined the project ''Let`s Wake Serbia Up'', started by the People's
Office of the President of the Republic of Serbia, by donating 33 computers to 12 schools in Serbia. This project aims
to increase the level of computer literacy in schools and associations, and among the public and gifted individuals
from socially vulnerable categories.
Thanks to the Telenor Foundation, elementary schools in Vranje, Tutin, Žabar, Trgovište, Petrovac, Negotin, Medvedja
and Čajetina will receive equipment for computer science classes, software and educational material, and sanitary
facilities will be renovated at two schools.
Joining this action is a great way to continue our mission of improving and modernizing the education system in
Serbia, and to stay on course with our efforts to pursue our CSR policy.
