We wish to remind you of the following appeals.
Womens Aid to former Yugoslavia is appealing for funds to support the work of three womens groups working with refugees in Albania and Macedonia. Two of them (The Kosovar Centre for the Protection of Women and Children, and Motrat Qiriazi) are Kosovan womens organisations, formerly based in Pristina and now working in Macedonia; the third (Medica Kosova-Woman to Woman) is a German/Bosnian/Albanian partnership working in Albania.

Balkan Sunflowers organises volunteer effort throughout the world, providing the opportunity for non-medical and non-technical people as well as medical and technical professional to participate "hands-on" in the humanitarian relief effort. Their goal is to set up community centres within the refugee camps so as to reestablish a sense of community and normality in the refugees life, by providing a place for social and organisational gathering, schooling, classes, organised sports and many other activities. In the beginning there will also be a need for basic facilities such as toilets and shelter. Volunteers with construction experience will organise materials and work with the refugees to construct these facilities.
