Let’s help a Slovene girl suffering from cancer visit London!

By First page, News No Comments

Would you help a 14-year-old girl from Prekmurje in Slovenia, who is suffering from cancer and dreams of visiting London?

Britons in Prekmurje have already collected 1,000 euro to make Bogomila Kuhar’s dream come true. Derek and Susan Smith, who live in that area, organised a fund-raising charity walk. Radio Televizija Slovenija interviewed Susan for a news report which highlighted the humanitarian spirit of the local British community.

Members of the British Embassy and British Council in Ljubljana then chipped in with more funds. I appeal now to members of the British-Slovene Society to join in helping this girl achieve her wish.

What can you do? You could contribute further funds to make sure this trip is unforgettable. Or you could accommodate Bogomila and her mother for a few days. They hope to be in London towards the end of June. You could also obtain tickets for some of the sights and pleasures of London. Anything which will give her the time of her life.

If you want to help, please contact me through info@britishslovenesociety.org. Any suggestions are welcome.

Bogomila lives in Murska Sobota. She is a brave girl and deserves our help. Please show that we too in the British-Slovene Society have generous hearts.
