SfS at family Zivkovic from Padinska Skela
During June, members of the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs visited the seven-member family Zivkovic that lives in Belgrade suburb of Padinska Skela. Family members are parents Igor and Jelena with five sons: Nemanja (12), Luka (10), Momcilo (7), Dusan (5) and Vukasin (2). Father Igor is employed, while mother Jelena takes care of the children. The biggest problem of family Zivkovic is related to their living space, because they live in part of the old workers’ barracks, where due to poor insulation there is moisture on walls and ceilings. The plan is to renovate bathroom and kitchen, in order to avoid increasingly occurring health problems which the youngest members of the Zivkovic family are facing.
