For the Drin Institute: Three mothers Aida, Tea and Mirela call for action "For the smile of little-big children"

Three mothers from Sarajevo, Aida Feraget, Tea Macan and Mirela Nikšić, are inviting everyone interested to join their campaign "For the smile of little-big children", writes the Patria news agency.

They say that New Year is approaching, and that every mother, every parent tries to organize something for their loved ones.

- Little-big children live next to us, children at heart, who are sometimes not even aware of New Year, but they are aware of the attention they receive. Aware of visits. Handshakes. Looks. They hold the most beautiful hugs you can get. These are the wards of the Drin Institute. Very, very close to us, in Fojnica, 500 of them are waiting for us to remember them, to prepare a gift for them too. 

The youngest ward is a two-month-old baby. A total of 40 children by "our standards". They also deserve gifts! Due to various physical conditions, some of the wards are immobile, regardless of age. They eat pureed food, need diapers, and they need us.

Wonderful, successful athletes also live in Drin. About a hundred of them, achieving success in football, basketball, bocce and swimming at special competitions. Don't they deserve us to show how proud we are of them and their efforts?, say Aida, Tea and Mirela.

Where and when to bring gifts

Last year, our interlocutors say, Sarajevo showed how big its heart is. Some for good deeds, some for Santa Claus, some for karma, some for the beauty of giving... the result was wonderful...

We invite you to join the campaign for the little-big children, wards of the Drin Institute, again.

You choose what you want/can donate and bring it on December 18th to Aquarius on Vilsonovo šetalište between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

What is most needed

This is what is most needed: toys, sweets, underwear, diapers for children, diapers for adults, pureed food for the immobile, cigarettes, hygiene products, didactic materials that will enable them to master some basic life skills in an easy, interesting way: e.g. yarn for crochet and knitting, buttons, collage paper, coloring books, crayons, brushes, modeling clay, puzzles, etc.), clothes, shoes and tracksuits for our athletes. 

Do not bring money! Gifts are what the heart rejoices in! Our little-big children deserve joy!
