The first activity in the string of six peace activities implemented within the project ''Women's Economic Stability for Peaceful Community'' and whose framework is UN Resolution 1325 was realised as a donation of the books to the district primary school ''Fra Ilije Starčevića'' in Kostrč. The ceremony of books donation was held in the very school and opened by one of the students with the poem about school reading. After it, the school headmistress Nataša Oršolić thanked to ''Posavski cvijet'' for recognizing the need of school for this material and its donation. The president of WA ''Posavski cvijet'' Mandica Živković said something more about the project and its flux which led to the realisation of these activities.
