War Victims of Bosnia

Aug 3

My forth coming trip to Bosnia is looming. I'm off on the 14th August for two weeks on behalf of the charity Healing Hands Network. Look at the articles on my news page which will give you information about the charity and the work we do in Sarajevo. Although the war ended 14 years ago the suffering of many of the people is continual. Many have no homes and no support from the government, the refugee situation is still very high, especially from eastern Bosnia. The children are coming through now with huge psychological and physical problems. They were raped as young as five and witnessed the  slaughter of their families and friends in an appalling way. So that is one of the reasons I am returning for the third time and another is that the people of Sarajevo are very much in my heart. I AM STILL FUND RAISING!! The charity is struggling and I have to find the money for the trip myself so if any of you would like to give a donation then please make the cheques out to Healing Hands Network and send to me. My address  is on the website. Thank you!

Re: War Victims of Bosnia

Hi Jenny

I enjoyed (not sure if that's the right word !) reading your journal on HHN website. I have my first "tour of duty" with them next May so am just starting the challenge of raising my money.
Even though you read these heart wrenching stories, and can emphasise with the victims I don't think that the enormity of their situations will truly hit me until I'm out there and meeting these people for myself. It's easy to feel sympathetic when you're sitting in your nice warm cosy house with a cuppa and your family around you !
I hope you have a rewarding trip in August, and hopefully we'll meet some day.

Take care
Sue
