Now Jelena Djokovic and I will take some stamps home for the kids to write to Santa," added the world No. 1, who has not yet announced whether he would fly to Melbourne to defend his Australian Open title next year although his name figures in the draw list along with Spaniard Rafael Nadal."Thank you to the Post of Serbia for this initiative, which I experienced as an effort to revive the tradition of writing letters and postcards, and I am glad to be able to contribute to that," Djokovic said according to the Novak Djokovic Foundation's website."Our Foundation receives many letters every day from children and their teachers throughout Serbia, who need help and support in early development and education."We want, and we are committed to that every day, that in the next 10 years, every child in Serbia has access to kindergarten and the conditions to dream and realise their dreams. Together we will try to get the results as soon as possible, and we are glad that more and more partners are joining us, including the Post of Serbia."The artwork was done by Boban Savic, with references to some of Djokovic's greatest accomplishments, including his 37 ATP Masters 1000 titles and 20 major triumphs, according to atptour.com.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
