Vlade and Snezana Divac visited the New Gracanica Monastery. During the
reception, they discussed the work of the Humanitarian Organization
Divac. The HOD was founded to provide support for the refugees in
Serbia. Conflicts on the territory of former Yugoslavia officially
ended, some ten years ago, some fourteen years ago, but the number of
refugees and displaced persons living in Serbia is still the highest in
Europe. The "You can too" action of the HOD seeks to provide care for
approximately 7000 refugees living in refugee "camps" around Serbia in
dismal conditions. This population is, of course, only a fraction of
the total refugee population in Serbia, but seeing that their living
conditions are as miserable as they are, the HOD arranged a plan to
provide housing for those refugees. The HOD has developed a plan where
a whole family can be provided with a house and some land somewhere in
rural Serbia for the price of $15000. Since almost all of the people
living in the refugee "camps" lived the agrarian lifestyle before they
were displaced in the war, this is the perfect solution for them. We
support the work of the HOD and strongly encourage our parishes and
national organizations in North America to enage themselves in the
wonderful Christian work of the HOD. For more information on HOD, please click here or on the "You can too" logo in the right column. |
