Sporting Hearts has an ongoing project at the Resnik refugee camp on the outskirts of Belgrade. For the past two years we have been organising outings for the children who live there.
Our second annual weekend of events was held on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th October 2006 and was hailed a huge success by both children and organisers a like. On Saturday we travelled to the Puž children’s theatre in the centre of Belgrade to see a production of The Four Piglets. This was followed by a very boisterous kids meal in McDonalds.
Following this the children walked to Knez Mihajlova (Main pedestrian area) where they took part in an afternoon of action and awareness highlighting the plight of refugees and IDPs living in Serbia and Montenegro.
This day of awareness was organised by Group 484 who also coordinated and provided volunteers for our events. Sunday saw us journey once again by bus to the centre of Belgrade to visit Belgrade Zoo. Each child was given a disposable camera to record his or her unique photo diary of the day’s events. (Click on gallery to view photos). By popular demand we made a very hungry B-line for McDonalds before journeying back home to the Resnik refugee camp.
