I�m thankful to God that I was able to meet so many kind people from all walks of life to help those who need help. My last trip to Yugoslavia was most enjoyable because I was able to distribute, in person, 6000 toys and chocolate to 3000 children residing in orphanages and hospitals. I know we were able to touch millions of men, women, and children through our help, but this was in person, and it touched my heart in a special way. Thanks to Group 7, the Sacramento Kings, and others who answered my appeal to send this special 40 foot container of Joy and Love! This container was filled with toys (donated by the Sacramento Kings), sweatshirts (donated by the American Basketball Association), chocolate (donated by individuals, and funded by donations from Ivan and Jelena Rasovich of Sun Valley, California, and Nenad and Dr. Jelena Vukicevic of Saratoga, California.) Thank you so much Group 7, their founder Vlade Divac, Belgrad manager Jasmina Miljkovic, and Alex Dimitrijevic, Chicago. Thanks for providing the funds to send this special container, also!!! After returning from Yugoslavia, I joined a group from Flying Samaritans, Stockton and Sacramento, California, and we went to Mexico to help Indian children. It was an honor to be invited to go with them: Thank you, Flying Samaritans! Many thanks to all of you who have helped to demonstrate our love for children, our concern about the needs of children, and our willingness to be instruments of development and mercy in the lives of children, worldwide.
