A Word from the Donor: “My name is Luka, I was born and raised in Belgrade. At 17, after playing basketball since the age of seven, I got the opportunity to continue both my education and basketball career in the United States. Helping my people is the most beautiful thing I can do. We are all one, and we should help one another. Serbia will last as long as its children remain faithful. Considering the situation of our brothers and sisters in Kosovo, I call on everyone who can to support this organization and the needs of our people.”
