Sunday, 04.09.2011: The Israeli National football team arrived to Croatia for
its game vs. Croatia.
During their training in Maksimir Stadium, team was excited to meet children
from St. Joseph House.
Last year Embassy of the State of Israel donated more than 27,000 Kuna to St.
Joseph's Orphanage, in which 31 children are being taken care of.
Yosef Amrani, Ambassador of the State of Israel and Ognjen Kraus, President
of the Jewish Community Zagreb, visited St. Joseph's Orphanage in Hrvatski
Leskovac yesterday. Visit was planned for November last year, when the Embassy
and the Jewish Community Zagreb organized a performance by the famous Israeli
dance group Batsheva in Croatian National Theatre, and the revenues of the event
were donated to St. Joseph's Orphanage. A bit more than 27,000 Kuna made 31
children and sisters very happy."It is an honor for us to be able to help. We know that is not enough and we
would like to continue with helping St. Joseph's Orphanage", said Yosef
Amrani. (Jutarnji list, February 2011)
