After hearing the appeal from Caritas psycho-social support team children refugees from the Reception center Presevo wanted to participate to the action “Bottle caps for the handicapped“. The collected bottle caps are later donated to the association “Čep za hendikep“ (Bottle caps for the handicapped), which is purchasing wheelchair and other equipment for persons with disabilities, from the money gained from selling the bottle taps for recycling, since Serbia still doesn’t have a centralised national recycling system.

The children started collecting bottle caps in the Caritas classroom for informal school activities, in a box they decorated especially for this occasion. They invited not only other children to participate to this action, but also adults staying in this refugee centre, so they can collect more bottle taps.

The work of  the Caritas psycho-social support teams in Serbia is funded by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Caritas Germany.
