MOSTAR, Feb 21 (Hina) - The civil association called Bonus, together
with a telecommunication company, has launched a humanitarian action
aimed at raising funds for children of Bosnian Croats, detained in The
Hague by the UN war crimes tribunal. The three-month action during
which callers who dial specific numbers may donate money for this
humanitarian reason, will last until 9 May.#L#
The Mostar-based 'Hrvatske Telekomunikacije' company will donate its
proceeds from calls also for the benefit of the kids of the detainees
in The Hague. The recorded message after the beep will say how the
raised funds will be used.
'Bonus' says that there is no possibility to care for this category of
citizens through the country's institutions and therefore it tries, on
the basis of voluntarism, to secure the financial support for children
and other members of families of Bosnian Croat detainees in The Hague.
According to a press release 'Bonus' issued on Saturday, the main aim
of the action is to ensure that upbringing of the said children does
not take the wrong course.
