During the days she tends to the cows, but at night sleeps in a room covered with black mold – Ana (5) from Tutin
Our villages and cradles have been silenced. That is why it is quite a miracle to see five-year-old Andrijana along with four more young Mijovićs running through Dobrinja, ten kilometres from Tutin. Of the few remaining families, theirs is the largest.

A HOUSE IN A TERRIBLY DISMAL STATE: let's help little Ana get a new home!

"I don't want to be cold" – Nikolina (6) from the tragic filled village of Velika
Velika is known as “little Jasenovac.” This village by Plav, Montenegro, at the end of the Second World War, experienced terrible suffering. In just two hours, German, Albanian and Muslim soldiers brutally slaughtered and set fire to over 400 children, women and the elderly. The village never recovered from these atrocities, and the victims were canonized as saints. Velika residents in previous wars had contributed to the liberation of this area from occupiers.

“God help, Serbian brothers!” – these words echo from a quiet boy’s rundown room!
A life filled with anxiety – simply describes what one sees on the face of the homeowner Stoje from the village of Strnovac. Signs of pain and a difficult life are etched in his face. He invites us into a dwelling that has not functioned as a home for a long time. It is heartbreaking to consider that deteriorating wood frames, a damaged roof slowly losing its pyramidal shape, an unplastered wall with protruding rocks, is the Lazarevski house.

“I would like to at least have a snack” – the heartbreaking cry of Maja (12) and her sisters
“Eternal harmony is not worth the tear of one child," Dostoyevsky once said. Looking into the large, clear eyes of the Jovanovic sisters, it seems that their tears which have dried, long ago transformed into sadness, pain and anxiety. While they battle for basic needs, they can only dream of a carefree childhood full of play.
