After the first donations from abroad, the
philanthropic action begun by the Serbian TOC at the end of May this year for
the aid of the catastrophic flood victims in Serbia made its first humanitarian
visit to the most devastated in Obrenovac, or to be more exact, to the centers
where have gathered those who have suffered the most from the floods. After researching what is most necessary for
the sufferers, Abbess Efrosinia Nikolic
and Uteshiteljevo Priest Fr. Jovan Ristic brought help in the form of
long-lasting packaged milk to the location.
Three hundred liters of milk were bought,
and the dairy itself donated 100 liters more.
Along with giving out the milk, the
humanitarian action included comforting conversations with the suffering, and
Mother Abbess visited all of the rooms in which the hundreds of flood victims
have been settled. Entire families with
children and the elderly have been left with nothing at all. All of them live in very difficult
conditions, being given nothing but canned fish and bread daily already for
weeks now.
These people are in need of help!
We continue to call on all of you who are
able to help. Essential help is needed
for these misfortunate ones in the form of basic long-lasting groceries and
chemical/hygienic materials. A suggestion
to our faithful: help at least in the
form of one shopping trip to the super market or bringing quality used clothes,
shoes, blankets, or summer bedding from your homes. All of this can be brought to Uteshiteljevo
Monastery from whence it will be taken and put into the hands of the flood victims.
May the Lord bless you and strengthen you
in every good work, for if you even give
a even cup of cold water to one of these suffering ones, in the name of Christ,
you will not lose your heavenly reward.
(Mt. 10:42).
