The Caledonia Club of Croatia will donate all profits from the sale of tickets and the raffle to the Maestral Home for Children. The children at Maestral come from non-functioning families in which they were emotionally neglected by their parents, including not having access to an education, as well as individual cases of abuse. The main function of the home is to provide these children with proper care and an education, depending on their age. Within Croatia, there are 18 childrens' homes that care for an average of 1500 children who are without parents or without proper parental care. Fourteen of these children's homes, amongst which is Maestral, are state facilities that belong to the Croatian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. Children are placed in a home by the Social Services Center in the town or city where the child's parents live. Maestral operates in two different locations: the central one is in Split while the second branch is located in Kaštel Lukšić. For further information on the wonderful work done by Maestral please contact Professor Edita Maretić via the Web address noted above. Sponsors and Raffle Prizes Please note the Caledonia Club of Croatia would still very much welcome contribution of raffle prizes, large and small, plus more corporate sponsors for the event on 6th February.
