Since then Milanka Karic has devoted most of her energy to the organization of the Foundation's activities, always stressing its motto - Charity is the only treasure which grows with giving.

Every man is a little Foundation - says Mrs. Milanka Karic - for, in the course of his life he helps others in many ways. We learn about this in our family, and this has always been the most important principle in the Karic family - mutual help and harmony. We in the family are all aware that harmony and mutual help have allowed us to attain our successes.

Milanka and Bogoljub Karic have four children: Nebojsa (1979), Nadezda - Neda (1981), Jelena (1982) and Danica (1985).

She finished elementary and grammar school in Pec, and her studies in Leskovac and Nis. From the very first day when the Social Council was founded for the employees of the BK Company in Pec (which grew into the Foundation), Olivera Karic was the president and the driving force behind all its actions.

"The main idea behind the Foundation of our Social council was to spread the spirit cherished in our family - helping each other - to all employees in our firm and their families. We used to buy food and fuel and school textbooks. We made financial contributions for summer holidays and loans for building family houses", says Mrs. Olivera Karic.

She is married Novica Nedeljkovic, who, she says, is her greatest support. Olivera and Novica Nedeljkovic have three children: Aleksandra (1979), Aleksandar (1982) and Gorica (1984).

In 1995 the family moved to London. Since then Olivera Nedeljkovic has been living between Belgrade and London and working for the Karic Foundation in both cities. She is also active in the BK University where she organizes special summer courses for children and adults in language, acting, painting and photography.

Hafa first met her husband Dragomir in her hometown. It was love at first sight. After a month-and-a-half Dragomir got a wife, and the "Karic brothers" orchestra an exceptional singer.

The Foundation's actions in these capitals are highly respected, not only by our people, but also by similar local and international humanitarian organizations with which the KB Foundation has established good contacts. Talking about this, Hafa D. Karic says: "Our motto is - Together we are stronger. Therefore we cherish close cooperation with other humanitarian organizations. The Karic Foundation not only helps the work of others but also encourages our younger generations to involve themselves in different humanitarian actions".

Hafa Karic is the founder and president of the Karic Foundation branches in Moscow and London for the last four years.

Dragomir and Hafa Karic have four children: Sasa (1971), Simon (1974), Jugoslav (1979) and Danijela (1984) and six grandchildren: Dragana (1992), Sasa (1994), Janicije (1995), Teodora (1996), Konstantin (1998), and Aleksandar (1999).
