Illness has taken a foothold in the home of the Popadic family from Akmacici by Nova Varos
“A healthy person has a thousand wishes, but the ill, only one.” These words were penned long ago by Anton Chekhov, and they were the first to come to mind when we visited the Popadic family from Akmacic by Nova Varos. Sadly, all of the members of this wonderful family have problems with their health, but, surprisingly, you wouldn’t notice one bit of pessimism and glumness in them.

A cold, dark house, sick parents: the heartbreaking life of the Ristić children!
When we speak of Kosovo and Metohija, it is important to realize that it is not just a discussion of politics. Kosovo and Metohija is a region where to this day some of our most sacred places are found and where our modern day heroes live. There is unfortunately little interest or concern for the many families living in remote villages struggling to survive. But the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs, in cooperation with the Diocese of Raška-Prizren, is working hard in every possible way to get necessary help to these families.
