For more than two decades, she has been volunteering at the Red Cross, very dedicatedly, as someone who does not seek recognition, but an opportunity to help. Although she is not employed there, she comes every day, among the first, as if it were her life&#8217;s calling.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a smile that instills security and warmth, Miroslava has become a pillar for many. Users perceive her as someone who, in addition to a meal, gives them faith in a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I have been volunteering for more than 20 years. First my husband volunteered, and then me. That motivated me a little, but I am also motivated by these wonderful people here, from the directors and managers to the cooks. Everyone is wonderful, I feel at home here,\u201d Miroslava Stevanovic told RINA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her daily life takes place in the kitchen, where she prepares every meal with the same attention, but also in every encounter with people who need help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT MORE<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info-en wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info-en\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fRvcXGCc2k\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-biggest-american-fraudster-released-to-house-arrest-ahmed-embezzled-300-million-dollars-through-a-hospital-in-chicago-then-was-arrested-in-serbia\/\">THE BIGGEST AMERICAN FRAUDSTER RELEASED TO HOUSE ARREST: Ahmed embezzled 300 million dollars through a hospital in Chicago, then was arrested in Serbia!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;THE BIGGEST AMERICAN FRAUDSTER RELEASED TO HOUSE ARREST: Ahmed embezzled 300 million dollars through a hospital in Chicago, then was arrested in Serbia!&#8221; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info EN\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-biggest-american-fraudster-released-to-house-arrest-ahmed-embezzled-300-million-dollars-through-a-hospital-in-chicago-then-was-arrested-in-serbia\/embed\/#?secret=S1NCt216Qs#?secret=fRvcXGCc2k\" data-secret=\"fRvcXGCc2k\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>-Here we cook various dishes, today macaroni with minced meat. What is important to point out is that with us, there is no meal without meat. One day it&#8217;s peas, pilaf, beans with bacon and so on. I try to give everyone a smile, everyone deserves to be respected and to have a quality meal. I would like to volunteer for a few more years, at least ten more, says this good woman with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How significant her contribution is is also confirmed by colleagues from the Red Cross, who point out that Miroslava is an irreplaceable part of their team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Mira, she is a woman without whom we cannot imagine a single day. In addition to the magical smile and attention she shows to the users, she builds her love into every dish. That&#8217;s why our dishes are very tasty. This can be a message now around Easter, that we should be good without reason, sometimes even without financial compensation, which is rare today. She is a woman of full heart and full soul. A person is more satisfied when helping another, when extending a hand when it is most needed. Help should be given, especially to those who are not able to take care of themselves as they would like, concluded Natasa Cvijovic, secretary of the Red Cross in Cacak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a time when values are often measured by material things, Miroslava reminds us that the greatest riches are those that cannot be seen, and as Dusko Radovic said, &#8220;Be good without reason,&#8221; because it is precisely people like Miroslava who make this world a place of faith and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/general-in-increasingly-serious-condition-dodik-accused-hague-of-humiliating-mladic-family-requests-arrival-of-doctors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">GENERAL IN INCREASINGLY SERIOUS CONDITION: Dodik accused Hague of humiliating Mladic, family requests arrival of doctors!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/big-changes-for-entering-greece-by-car-new-rules-after-50-years-here-is-what-you-must-have-in-your-vehicle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>BIG CHANGES FOR ENTERING GREECE BY CAR: New rules after 50 years, here is what you must have in your vehicle!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/jokic-first-in-nba-in-assists-and-rebounds-serb-received-two-awards-for-historical-success-then-rebuked-the-league-for-one-detail-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">JOKIC FIRST IN NBA IN ASSISTS AND REBOUNDS: Serb received two awards for historical success, then rebuked the league for one detail!
