Organized by the humanitarian association “Serbs for Serbs,” the event was held today at nine locations throughout the largest city of the Republic of Srpska, specifically in church courtyards in almost every neighborhood — from Derviš to Obilićevo.

After the liturgy, dedicated volunteers distributed fasting donuts in front of churches, while citizens made voluntary donations. The collected funds will be used to help socially endangered families with multiple children, once again proving that Banjaluka passes the test of humanity.
