Christmas Humanitarian Action

Saturday, 24 December 2011 22:12

This year Diaconia Macedonia noted the 20th year since its resumption and 10 years since the establishment of "The Miss Stone Center" in Strumica, together with the project "Meals on Wheels". These two anniversaries we marked with the humanitarian action of distributing clothing in different elementary schools in the Strumica region as well as in schools for children with special needs.

The project was realized in cooperation with "Weltmission" (World Mission) organization in Germany. The project included clothing for children, jackets and jeans in quantities of 3,000 pieces worth 60,000 euros. In Strumica we included the poorer schools "Marshal Tito" - Strumica, primary schools in Saraj, Stara Baldovci, Rich, Belotina and the school for children with special needs "Kliment Ohridski" - Novo Selo.

We started distributing the clothes on December 23 and we hope that we will completely finish the project by the end of January 2012.

The children joyfully receive the clothes; in this cold winter weather the clothes were welcomed by many of them. Our sincere gratitude to donors and the team that helped this action to be accomplished.
