The Institute KROG is a Slovenian NGO whose main fields of activities are humanitarian work, developmental cooperation, education, social care, media, culture and art activities. Since 2005, the organisation has been carrying out the project "Donate a Smile" which has focused on rehabilitation of children from South-Eastern Europe; so far from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. In 2010 and 2011, the Institute also plans to offer a rehabilitation programme for children from Montenegro.The rehabilitation programme targets socially handicapped and abused (physically, psychically and sexually) children in primary schools and children without one or both parents from rural areas, who are victims of: bad economic and social position of their parents and the place where they live, trafficking of human beings, discrimination, violating of children rights, intolerance, bad educational possibilities, lack of psycho-social help etc. Among them there are also families who came back home after the war but they do not have settled their residence status. They have no job or education possibilities and still have to cope with discrimination and after-war hate.
Among the goals of the project are: to enable children to have vacations and spend an active and unstressed time during the rehabilitation and have at least a short “runaway” from their everyday life; to improve the psycho-social condition of children and to show possibilities of co-living of different ethic groups, intercultural dialog, tolerance and reintegration.
