Projects in Belgrade: Update

The following is an update on the progress of the various components of the Vladi Radmanovic Children's Foundation and the International Orthodox Christian Charities project in Serbia:

This process will include references from teachers and the staff of the orphanage to identify prospective participants who are highly-motivated and likely to benefit most from the training.
▪ The engineering plans for the Laundromat at Zvecanska have been completed and construction/adaptation of the facility is expected to start in April with trainings expected to begin in May.
