The 8th annual Our Belgrade volunteer event was held on 14th May, with U.S. Ambassador H.E. Kyle Scott and the Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia, H.E. Michael Davenport, among the many volunteers fixing up schoolyards and participating in inclusive workshops with children living with disabilities and the elderly at more than ten locations throughout the city.
