governmental organisation on Friday presented the "A Glass of Milk
for Every Child" action, which is held under the auspices of
President Stjepan Mesic's wife Milka. #L#
"Our goal is to ensure one glass of milk for around 17,000 children
in 110 elementary schools every day for the duration of the school
year, primarily in formerly war-affected areas," said the
president of the NGO, Blanka Segovic.
The action comes in the wake of Health Ministry data saying that
only 45 percent of Croatian children drink milk on a daily basis.
Segovic thanked all donors, particularly the Australian Embassy
which donated 60,000 kuna (EUR8,100) for one school.
Segovic said the action was helped by the Lura company, which
offered the lowest milk price, and the Futura DDB company, which
offered help in organisation and promotion.
