Thank you for visiting - Hello. My name is Sister Kristina Piskovic. I am the director of St. Theresa Orphanage in Zagreb, Croatia. Although the war is now over, our country is still feeling its after effects. Joblessness and poverty are common, especially among the young, and some unfortunate parents cannot provide for their children. Our government, which is still struggling in this "new economy" provides very little help, so we (the sisters), and the children, rely on our benefactors abroad. Presently, we care for 35 children --- the youngest is a 3-month old boy and the eldest, a girl who has just graduated from secondary school. There is a lot of love here in our house, and a lot of happiness. The sisters are all young and we have the energy to love the children like they were our own. We wish to make their childhood as nice and carefree as possible. We also try to heal the wounds left over from the war and from being abandoned by their parents. Children are the flowers of the world and they are the jewels of our nunnery. As I stated, love and care is not a problem for us. But, a shortage of money is a major concern. Since our government does not help us very much, we rely very heavily on the good will of our friends so that we can continue our work. If you are willing to help us help the orphans, we will be very grateful and we will include you in our every day prayers.
