ASB and IDC teams in joint action

 With ASB’s own funds as well as funding from German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ASB is installing hygiene containers in refugee camps in Northern Serbia. Furthermore, ASB together with its partner Samaritan Organization IDC is distributing water, food, hygiene kits and other most needed relief items to refugee families in Kanjiža, Subotica and Belgrade.

In Subotica, ASB is currently building winter proof refugee shelters. “It is impressing and deeply relieving to see, how much can be done with financial support and this great dedication”, Fleckenstein said. “I saw a child friendly space, where ASB and IDC are giving children the opportunity to paint, see cartoons, play or sing together. The smiles in the children’s faces are just small, but that is what counts most.”

ASB’s Federal Chairman finally pointed out, that the borders to the European Union have to be opened for the refugees searching peace, security and a perspective for a life with dignity within the Union’s borders. During a visit to Bezdan, one of the closed border crossings on the border with Croatia, Fleckenstein was deeply impressed by the round 200 children, women and men waiting there. “I only can urge all member states of the European Union to find a common solution to help these people. We cannot wait any longer for such joint decisions.”
