SREMSKA MITROVICA – U pešačkoj zoni u Ulici kralja Petra prolaznici ovih dana zastaju zbog nesvakidašnjeg prizora. Vremešni čovek sa gitarom peva i svira, a pored njega nema kutije za sopstvene potrebe, već za pomoć porodici sa desetoro dece .
U pitanju je Radovan Vukelić iz Platičeva, rođen 1942. godine, koji je ušao u 85. godinu života. Iako se suočava sa zdravstvenim problemima, ne odustaje od svoje humane misije .
Sav novac koji prikupi namenjen je porodici Maksimović iz Platičeva, koja ima desetoro dece.
– Sve to kupim njima. Nekad skupim tri hiljade, nekad pet hiljada dinara. Kako kada. Sve ide porodici – kaže skromni Radovan.
Njegove godine mnoge iznenade.
– Imam 84 godine. Ušao sam u osamdeset petu – kaže kroz osmeh.
Iako ga zdravlje ne služi najbolje, želja da pomogne drugima jača je od svih prepreka.
– Nosim kateter i imam svojih problema. Žena ne voli to što radim, ali mene to drži. Duša mi je još mlada – iskreno priznaje.
Po struci je učitelj, ali životni put ga nije odveo u školsku učionicu. Još kao mlad otišao je u Francusku, gde je proveo najveći deo radnog veka.
– Rođaci su mi govorili da tamo mogu bolje da zaradim. Otišao sam, radio i stekao penziju – priča Vukelić.
Danas, umesto da mirno uživa u penzionerskim danima, svoje vreme koristi da pomogne drugima.
Njegova priča posebno dira ljude jer pokazuje da humanost nema godine . Dok mnogi prolaze pored njega, tek kada čuju zašto svira, zastanu, pruže ruku i ostave prilog.
U vremenu kada se često govori o sebičnosti i podelama, Radovan Vukelić podseća da među nama još postoje ljudi velikog srca, spremni da svoje vreme, energiju i trud poklone drugima.
A možda upravo zato njegove reči ostaju da odzvanjaju mnogo duže od pesme koju svira:
– Duša mi je još mlada.
