Mila Filipovic is a third-year student at the Faculty of Contemporary Arts. In addition to university, she is active in NGOs dealing with improving social problems and helping young people and women. As she says, out of all her work, the most fulfilling is music. "Music has always been a part of my life. I graduated from high school of music, I play violin and piano. I am currently getting educated for solo singing, and sing in the choir of the Temple of St. Sava. I have also attended the singing workshop at Bilja Krstić," Mila says. The St. Sava Temple Choir was formed in 2018. Since then it has successfully performed in numerous competitions. Performances in Belarus at the beautiful Minsk Philharmonic, Banja Luka and the region, as well as the first prize in Negotin on Mokranjcev's days, are only part of a joint association, work and effort that we can all be proud of. As an integral part of Sunday's liturgy, the St. Sava Temple choir is active at all important events commemorated at the St. Sava Temple. It follows and complements spiritual programs, feasts, promotions of great writers, television broadcasts, and with their melodies makes them more beautiful. "The choir is actively working on the programme and holding rehearsals three times a week so that everything is performed at the highest level and displayed in the best possible light. In addition, there are constant choir obligations and performances of sacred lithium that we all enjoy." The initiative for introducing foreign tourists to the Orthodox faith and church has a programme when visiting the Temple, where the choir conjures the atmosphere through beautiful tunes. In the run-up to one of the most important holidays, Easter, I'd like you to give us a hand and bring us closer to how preparations are going. "The choir is actively working on the programme and holding rehearsals three times a week so that everything is performed at the highest level and displayed in the best possible light. In addition, there are constant choir obligations and performances of sacred lithium that we all enjoy." This year, the choir will perform new compositions at the Easter Concerto, composed only for the Temple St. Sava Choir. With a concert to be held at the Temple, midnight and morning liturgies will be sung to welcome the holiday in a magnificent way. "Preparations are still underway but we are doing really well, alongside singing in rehearsals there is a very nice atmosphere between people, and it contributes a lot to the common sound of the choir itself. The beautiful harmony in people's relationships is great, plus for the whole world well and for us" Mila. After Easter, the choir continues to work. A large number of performances are to follow, and the first in a series of concerts at the Temple will be commemorated on Vidovdan, to which we invite you together and look forward to socialising and singing together.

Our scholarship holder Marija Stanković is a member of the Association for Preventive Pediatrics of Serbia (UPPS). She points out that she learned a lot about rare diseases thanks to her engagement in this organization. She had the opportunity to participate in organizing several humanitarian activities. “The first and biggest action was the New Year's humanitarian action ‘We are all Santa Claus ‘. Over 30 entrepreneurs and schools throughout Serbia responded to our action. Well-known clinics and shopping malls responded too. 126 packages were collected, which were distributed to children with disabilities and children in an orphanage. In order to bring a smile to the children's faces in addition to the packages, I also organized animators who handed them over and spent the day with them.” “Over 160 works of art from all over Serbia arrived and over 16,000 dinars was collected for little Dorotea, who has to go to Turkey for surgery. With the art competition, which participation cost 100 dinars, we, as an association, made a small contribution to the treatment of this little girl.“ After that, Marija participated in the realization of the humanitarian art competition “Paint the world with colorful colors, draw a smile to little heroes”. “Over 160 works of art from all over Serbia arrived and over 16,000 dinars was collected for little Dorotea, who has to go to Turkey for surgery. With the art competition, which participation cost 100 dinars, we, as an association, made a small contribution to the treatment of this little girl.“ Maria emphasizes that she enjoys organizing events that have a noble goal. “Humanitarian actions show how much love there is in us, these are actions that leave a big mark on me, engraved on my heart, and carry a torrent of feelings, both beautiful and less beautiful. As a medical student, I am still not competent to help someone with my knowledge that I have acquired so far, so I try to help as much as I can through humanitarian work.” Our scholarship holder runs an Instagram profile @upps_srbija. A few weeks ago, she started the series of live shows “Diagnosis is not a nightmare – you can learn too”. “The series also aims to make medical students hear more case studies. At a time of pandemic, when everyone lacks that contact with the patient, I think this is one of the better ways to hear something we can't read in a book, and it certainly will mean something to us.” |
