THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SENT THE ALBANIAN PEOPLE MESSAGES OF SUPPORT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

--

Dear people,
I am literally heartbroken at this moment. Everything that is going on in
Kosovo seems so unfair, it could be any of us there. I see the pictures on
your website and it terrifies me to think that people can actually be so
evil. I am a mother and the thought of my children being hurt just
terrifies me, so i feel for all the parents there.I will be praying for all
people and hope to an end to all this evil soon. God Bless you all and I
will be praying for peace in Kosovo.

Have faith

Sincerely,
a broken hearted mother

As another human being of God's creation. I find that for another group of supposed civilized people such as the Serbs to massacre another race of people such as the Albanians is the most holocaustic thing I have ever seen. These people the Serbs are no better than the people who followed hitler. being an American I would say there is no choice but to send in ground troops!! I would be the first one to go!! My heart goes out to the inocent people of the tragedy. May God protect his Children. Be safe... Gene

Here is a message for all the Military MEN who fight for Milosevics Army. YOU WILL DIE A VERY HORRIBLE DEATH. Give up now and save yourself NATO will not give up. You will be BOMBED into the ground... May you go to HELL for all the inhumane things you have done to the Kosovars...

My wife and I would be interested in the prospect of bringing a few Kosovar widows or young adults to the US to live in our home and the homes of other American families. We offer them a safe place to live as well as compensation for the care of our young children. I can probably arrange homes for about a dozen or so. We will pay all airfare costs as well as english classes. If you know of someone or can direct me to the right place please let me know.

Hi, I am writing to say that Albania's assistance in this immediate problem is to be applauded. There will be an inpouring of aid and help for the refugees as well as for the country of Albania. I would advise the leadership of Albania to ask those countries that wish to use Albania that they assist in the development of Albania when they are seeking to establish a military and refugee assistance bases and camps. I am talking about making your roadways wider and more permanent in nature. That the telephone and communications equipment and lines throughout your country be updated. That your medical facilities in at least three locations be upgraded. That permanent shelters be established in the rural regions for those that work in those areas. That purified water sources be established. That proper sewage and or septic systems of a permanent nature be built. The reason I write you is to thank the Albania people and leadership for accepting the refugees as I know it is quite a burden to deal with that many people. And, if feel it is quite appropriate to ask NATO and the associated countries to assist your country while you assist them. The person that receives this email I shall now address to you directly the following: It is imperative that a number of the leaders in your government understand what I am saying because it is not just for you or them but for your whole country I said the above. It is just and fair and ought to be done. Tell them I said not to ask for money but to ask for the individual participating countries to come to your country and build, upgrade, and repair. My conscience regarding Albania is now clear, the yoke is from my neck and unto yours - now pass this onto your government. Thank you,

Recently read People magazine regarding the children separated from their
parents. I am willing to be a host family for a child needing surgery. If
you could direct me to the organization I might volunteer to...

Thank you,

I have been volunteering for the office of a well-known international
humanitarian organization here in New York City. For hours, several days a
week, I (and others) open the mail containing donations made for support of
the Kosova refugees. Every day tens of thousands of dollars are coming in
for humanitarian assistance to support this organization. I can only hope
that if the people suffering the most could know how much people here in the
United States care about their tragic situation - they might feel a little
comforted. I have opened checks from foundations and individuals for more
than ten thousand dollars. I have opened checks for a few dollars sent for
children by their parents. One high school in California sent $1700 . One
homeless man sent in half of all the money he had $110 . And I have opened
countless checks from ordinary Americans whose hearts have been so touched
by this crises. Almost everyone wishes they could do more. I believe that
the giving is just starting and that people will only give more as the need
becomes more and more evident.

--

It breaks my heart to see what is going on in your country. I cannot understand how the Serbs can live with what they are doing to your people. How can they live with what they have done in Bosnia? It just goes beyond human comprehension. I would only ask one thing from the Kosovar people and its military: PLEASE do not do to the Serb people what their military is doing to yours! Do you understand? Do not let revenge motivate you to cause more human suffering. I cannot bear to see children suffering. Those murdered babies on your web pages are too much for a human heart to stand! PLEASE tell me your troops will not act against the Serb population in this way if it ever comes to that. Yes, my anger against Milosovic and his henchmen overwhelms my rational mind and I would wish that he suffer thousands of deaths like he has caused...but then I would only be like him. I would be no better. Fight for your freedom. Defend your rights and help free your people. BUT remember that we are all human and that life is precious. One day we will all live together as God intended. It is sad that that day will most likely only come after we cross into the new millenium and that we have to leave this century with the blood of innocents still fresh on our hands. When will we ever learn? God help you, God help the Serb people and God help us all.

Dear sir,

I have heard of the Atlantic Brigade and I would like to know how to contact that group. I am a paramedic and a nurse with 13+ years of military expierence in the Army and Air Force. I would be interested in finding a volunteer opportunity where I could use my military and medical talents to serve the KLA or the refugees. Can you please E-mail some contact names and phone numbers?

Thank you.

To someone who cares,

I am terribly concerned for all of the children and familys of Kosovo.
I keep reading of children being seperated from their parents and
siblings. This makes me very sad and I have been trying to figure out
what I could possibly do to help. I can send food, clothing and even
money however, my small contributions won't even put a dent in this huge
disaster. What I would like to do is provide a home for a small child
who no longer has a family and needs help.

My husband and I have been planning on adopting a small boy from the
U.S. but I now feel that the children of Kosovo are in great need. I am
not sure who I need to contact to get information on this subject. If
you could please point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
I have also heard of children who need host families in the U.S. so that
they can get medical attention. Please let me know if this is in fact a
need.

I feel that my home will provide a warm, loving and understanding
environment for a child alone and in need. This, to me, would be a
greater contribution to the Kosovo children than a bag of food.

We have wanted a little boy for a long time and I think there are
children from Kosovo who need help more than any other children at this
time.

Please respond as soon as you can. Thank you very much for your help.

The greatest tragedy I believe in the last 5 years of serbian nationalism and historical stupidity with regards to land once "owned" by Serbs 600 years ago on this planet is the fact that ordinary well-educated serbian civilians are now convinced that their autocratic leader, Slobodan Milosevic, is a Serb hero.

The self image of martyrdom now existing in cities around Yugoslavia, and the fight to the death drama played out on Belgrade bridges for the world to applaud and question NATO intentions will lead to no better understanding of solutions to nationalism, peace and inter-relationships with the rest of the world that the Serb Nation will so desperately need to continue its integrity into the next century. The serbs, even intellectual serbs, of whom a great majority were vocal in their protests against their leader, are ridiculing themselves in the eyes of humanity.

Milosevic started this War, by convincing Serbs in the nationalistic pride inherent of his own unstable mind. He successfully convinced serbs that they are a people better than the human race itself.

Not once, in any correspondence I have read prepared by Serbian Internet correspondents, has the serb nation apologized for the displacement, murder, rape and damage done to society in the Balkans over the last 5 years. Why ? Because of a genuine mis-interpretation of the values of life, of a false self-centered Serb pride, arrogance and belief that Serbs are more important and better, a race determined to glorify the battles of the past at the expense and suffering of the rest of humanity.

I am appalled at the Serb nation but call on those few good people of Serb descent to look carefully at all the diplomatic effort put in to try to solve this problem before NATO took to the only remaining alternative. It is only you good Serbs, who are clear on the reality of what has happened to Yugoslavia, that can secure a peaceful, prosperous future of your country.

I hope this e-mail finds you safe this evening.

There is a new moderated discussion board "Peace in the Balkans" where
people from the Balkan region can talk with Westerners and vice
versa... maybe we can all use a little more understanding... at this
point it certainly couldn't hurt.

If you are interested, or would like to forward this to someone who is
interested here is the site address:

Lets get together and place a bounty on the head of Milosevic. Make it high
enough, and someone, maybe some of his aides will do the job and split the
money. I'm sure there are plenty of his own people who disagree with what
he is doing. Make it public where to contribute and I will be one of the
first to do so. If Milosevic is aware of such a great bounty, maybe he
will finally GET THE MESSAGE!!!

--

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter to show my support for the activities of the
displaced Kosova-Albanian peoples and the Kosovar Liberation Army.

I would like you to know that you have the support of the Australian
peoples and that Australian media outlets provide us with near-constant
vision of the plight of ethnic Albanian refugees.

I hope that this situation can be resolved soon and that the fight goes
well for you. My thoughts and prayers are with. I would also greatly
appreciate a reply to this email just to now that my message is understood

Good Luck
God Bless
And sincerely

Having just finished reading your site,
I see echos of another past bloody war. Many people compare what is
happening to the secound world war, myself i see close symilarities to
the Spanish civil war, a war not so much about invasion but a struggle
against an evil force that wishes to change the geography and histoery
of a nation.
It is important that we try not to justfy our action as christian
against muslim ( though the serbs do see it this way) we must be more
educated and intelligent and understand that this is about right and
wrong, many e-mails talk about jihad ect, this is dangerous ground,
remembering that many of the countries supporting the KLA are from
christian hsitory themselves. Our fight must be based on Human rights
not religion.

What the serbs are doing is wrong,
It dosen't matter what there bliefs colour or status the serbs are
wrong.

No body should have to suffer in the way these poor people are
suffering.

My support is with you, from one human, that believes in the goodness
of humanity, nothing else, that right will prevail.

Hi there -

I live in Iceland and we try to help as much as we can. We are only
240.000 persons up here, so our help can not be on a big scale, but we do
our best. We have already sent down there an aeroplane with blankets and
fruit juice to drink and now we are shipping 45 tons of food, all of us
participated in paying for this - we do it gladly. In packing the food
into boxes 5 of those refugitives already here insisted to help.

We have invited 100 Albanian refugitives to come and live here as long as
needed, I know that is not much, but better than nothing. Already there
are here 23 refugitives and to-day I did read in our morning paper that our
government wants to receive the rest (77 to match 100 persons) as soon as
possible, saying that there is nothing to wait for. There was also a
picture of broad smiling Albanian refugee children who had been invited to
a Hamburger restaurant - they sure did need some cheering up !

Those 23 (5 families) which are already here were warmly received by our
Foreign Minister in person which told them on arrival that they are welcome
to stay as long as they want. They have last 2 weeks been staying in a
warm and clean hotel, and the very next days they will be able to move into
the homes we provide them with. These are the same sort of apartments the
rest of us here live in. They will be provided with everything needed, we
will teach them our language and help them to start a new life, get a job
etc. (this is our standard procedure with refugitves). If and when they
want return home, they will be assisted with that too.

I pray each and every day for you all Albanians, I have tears running down
my cheeks watching in the TV the horror you are going through. It breaks
my heart that there seems to be so little one can do and I sincerely hope
that this will end as soon as possible. Your life will of course never be
the same again - as one of "our" refugitives said on our TV - his heart
will always be in Kosovo.
May God be with you all.
Sincerely
Gudrun in Iceland

I am a Turkish living in France. I am suprised to figure out that 52 %
of the French population wants Peace Talks instead of NATO Bombings.

How naive,
Keep them talking while we are killing is the Serbian way proven in
Bosnia and now in Kosova.
Or Red cross aid "Feed them so they will die in the hands of Serbs
instead of Hunger".

Somebody has to bring the Serbians to their senses. I believe bombing
only is not enough. They should experience the same pain that they
inflicted to the other nations.

Even if 100 years pass I will make shure my country holds every Serb
responsible for the crimes they have willfully commited against
humanity.

I hope the Turkey will act faster and transport all refugees in the line
of fire to Turkey and provide homes, food and peace. Kosovans are more
than welcome to Turkey.

Europeans can do the talking anytime but we have to rescue Kosovans from
the hands of Serbs, Greek and Russians now before it's too late to tolk
about Kosovan's.

Dear Albanians,
If there are heroes in this war, they are surely the Albanians. Hang in
there. This thing is taking longer than we thought, but this week we'll find
out if the Serb troops in Kosovo like a diet of Apache gunships and multiple
launch rockets.
We're behind you in this mess.

Can you help me please, I have been helping my friends find their
missing families on the ADI website [refugjat], [which is great], this
is however only for refugees in Macedonia, is there a similar website
for refugees in Albania and Montenegro,
Many thanks,

Hi,

I work for a large Catholic parish on Long Island and this weekend we
will be taking up a collection of food, water, and money for Kosovo.
I've made arrangements to get these things out to the refugees, but I
have one problem. One of our parishioners wants to donate 4-5 cases of
new Teddy Bears. She saw a news report showing the children fighting
over toys and she wants to do something about it. Can you give me an
address or contact that may be willing to accept the bears and get them
to the children?

Please respond to:

Hello,

I am from the Czech newspaper called Lidove Noviny. Just now we are collecting opinions on the following subject:

Would Kosovo Albanians be willing to live together with Albanians in one country (consisting of Kosovo and Albania)? Or are the differences between both ethnics too big to rule out this idea?

I would be extremely grateful if you would be willing to submit your own opinion on these questions. Thank you,

How can I be of help with the humanitarian refugee relief effort? What

I have read some of the heart warming letters on your web site. All I
want to say is that my thoughts are with all involved in this awful
tragedy. I pray every eveningfor all of those brave people, refugees and
military alike. Lets hope it all ends soon.

I think the US should support and train the KLA. But I don't think Americans
should fight and die for Kosova. I served in the US Army for over 20 years,
I lost friends who fought for other nations, when the sons of those nations
should have done the fighting. My children will not fight for anyone else.
This conflict is not in the national interest of the United States, it is
Bill Clinton just trying to make a legacy for himself.

Alb-Net Response: Kosovars are asking for the same thing, to arm the KLA so they can defend themselves.

I just want to tell you all how appalled we are in the U.S.A. , about this horrible human tragedy that you have had to endure. My prayers and support go out to all of you. This has got to be the most horrible tragedy since Nazi Germany. The comparisons are unreal. Please try to have faith in the fact that you have to hang on, and bring your families back together. We will do EVERYTHING that we can do in order to help this happen. I am just so apologetic that it took us this long to become involved in this crisis of your people. Had we acted sooner many human lives could have been saved. My heart, prayers, and financial help will be with you in trying to put the pieces of your lives back together!!!!!! Brad

How does an American go about volunteering to fight with the KLA. Please respond.

Good morning,
My name is Denise Marie Licurse, I am 30 years old and am an Italian -
American with two beautiful daughters who are bi-racial. ( African
American )
Anyway, I have been so touched by all of the terrible things going on over
there that I felt like I should be doing something. I myself am poor, and
live with my parents. I take care of them to. But, I see the poor little
faces on the children of Albania and and the elderly people treated worse
than animals, it makes you wonder why life is worth living. But, I guess if
it were me in my home land you could bet your ass I would fight to my dying
breath. The Serb Army are trying to torment all of you, but there is one
thing they can't take away, your pride and your love for Allah!!! He will
see all of you through this terrible time in your lives. I just want to hug
all of you and take as many people as I could.
I want to see if I may keep in touch with someone that may benefit from our
conversations. If nothing else, maybe the moral support will help. If I can
do anything, I will try my best to help.
I was wondering if the Albanian people needed somemore Korans? I know the
Serb Army probably burned those as well as there homes.

PLEASE, I hope to keep in touch with someone.

Take care, and may Allah be with you!!!

Denise Marie Licurse

P.S. I pray for all the children that sat there and watched there parents
get shot. Those people will have to be accounted for there crimes....don't
you worry.It may take sometime to get back in order after the bombing, but
we, the U.S.A. will not abandon you. I promise!!

How can I support the UCK(KLA)in my country (the Netherlands)?
I know I can remit money at the Dutch bankaccount of the UCK,

intentions.
What can I do else to support the men of the UCK from where I
live?
I would love to help them somehow.
I hope you that you will answere me.
sorry for my faulty English!

I wanted to let you know that momentum is gathering for the use of ground
troops here in the US senate. Seven senators have sponsored a bill which
will empower the US administration to do whatever is necessary to bring an
end to the conflict in Kosova. I have written several pleas to the
President and have sent letters to my congressional representatives asking
for food drops, ground support for the UCK, arming the UCK, and other
necessary measures to end Serbian violence against your people. I am only
one person though, and I feel so helpless some times that this is all I can
do. I encourage others to help as much as I can.

I have seen many letters of support from US ex-military offering to come and
fight. I have no prior military experience and, having been wed just last
Friday, I regret that I cannot take up armed struggle to help stop the
endless murder and torture that Kosovar Albanians are suffering at the hands
of the Milosevic regime. Although war is a fundamental human crime,
sometimes struggle is necessary in order to arrest the development of
tyrannical regimes, especially those built on the basis of
racial/political/ethnic/religious hatred.

Living in the United States, I think it is hard sometimes for Americans to
understand the suffering you are going through. We have had a relatively
peaceful history, as there have been only a handful of wars that have taken
place on our soil in our 222 years as a nation.

This country was founded on an ideal: freedom from tyranny and injustice.
As you fight for your own freedom from tyranny and justice, please remember
that you are in our hearts. Reading the lists of the Kosovar Albanians that
have died due to this senseless war tears me apart inside. I can only hope
that justice is served swiftly, and that you return to your homeland, and
that your homeland is independent and free from tyranny of all sorts.

My husband and I would like nothing more than to provide a safe, secure and loving environment for 1 or more displaced children. We have a an 8-year old son, and have been trying to locate a small child in need of a family for many months. While it is too soon to establish which children cannot be reunited with their parents, we want to get on a waiting list for those whose relatives cannot be located, etc. Please consider our request! Our hearts are crying for these children we see on the television every day.

I have known some serbs, and while they like to pretend to be part a civilised world they act completely differernt. They would like to control peoples destinies but this time the nut is hard. There is a say: WHEN THE TOUGHS GET GOING THE GOING GETS TOUGH

If the KLA fighters kept wainting for someone else to do the job for them Kosova would still be occupied but in this case the cleansing would go on in quiet and noone would have noticed. I presume most of you wached the movie BRAVEHEART when William Wallace-Braveheart says:

Everybody Dies, It's Just a Matter of How and Why ;
Everybody Dies But Not Everybody Realy Lives

So the KLA has choosen the hard but only way. GOD BLESS THEM

Hello My name is Amy Hannah I live in Whitewood, South Dakota (USA). I was wondering if there is a way I could help. I am 12 years old and I know that I can help. I just don't know what the Kosovo people need and where to send it. I do know that with God I can do any thing. Well if you could send me some information on it. I would be so happy.

Most of us in the United States and abroad support the Kosovo people and

Is there a way to send money to directly buy food and medicine for the

I am so thankful that I can log on to your sight and get information
first hand concerning the war. Sadly as an American at this time I am
unable to trust the Clinton administration for various assundry
reasons. Also I am unable to trust even our "free" press. Your
resource is like a breath of fresh air as what is going on over there.
I pray that as Americans and the European community we can together work
this problem out without the need for further bloodshed even a third
world war. I do trust however our professional military men, who
together with NATO nation's military people can execute a total defeat
of the oppression brought by "El Slobo" quickly and efficiently. Lets
leave the politicians out, OK! Again thank you for your Center. I will
be coming to it regularly for the first hand information I need. So
long CNN (Clinton News Network).

My heart is with you. I am 62, with a heart condition, otherwise I

Dear Kosovo Crisis Center,
I don't understand much about what's going on in Kosvo, but I think
the people there need help and that the U.S. should be the ones to help
them, not hurt them. In school I have to do a report on what's
happening in Kosovo and I was just wondering if you could e-mail me some
more information about what's happening and what has already happened.
I feel so bad for the people are being kicked out of there homes and
being killed. Some people need to think about if that were actually
happening to them and what they would feel like. What if one day you
were just sitting in your house and watching tv and some bomb was
dropped on your house or it was set of fire for no reason. People need
to learn about what is happening to the people in Kosovo and help.

With all my support,

Jennifer Perdue

Thank you,

Asalamu alaikum,

I am a Muslim American who's heart cries for those suffering in Kosova. I
pray to Allah, subhanna wa ta ala, that the innocent be protected from the
suffering and that the oppressors be humiliated and punished. Oh Allah,
grant peace to the region. Oh Allah, comfort those who have suffered and
whose hearts are torn with anguish. Oh Allah, open the gates of paradise
for those who have been wronged only because they say La ilaha ilallah. Oh
Allah you are the best of those who protect, you are the best of those who
comfort. Pour your mercy out onto the Kosovars and give them peace. Ameen.

As an american I'm sure that most of us are appropriatly biased against
Yugoslavia. However, your site crystalized my own personal views of
things. Given all of the information available, I'm left wondering what
drugs the leaders of China and Russia are on. I have never before had
the opinion that the US was 100% right about past actions against
another country until now, but you didn't have to go far to convince me.

This goes out to all those who know that the current situation in Kosova is wrwong. No matter how politely the politicians tell us, we, members not of countires but of a common planet, should never allow such actions to go unforgiven, nor should we ever forget these times. To all those who have family and to all those currently in Kosova, let not your fear rule your life. Live as best you can and keep up your hopes. Faith alone will bring you through this. Faith not in others but in yourselves. At a time like this, you are the only person you can trust and rely on. The choice is yours: live in fear, or live on. Keep on fighting for what you know is right, and you will prevail.

Dear sir, It is horrendous what has happened in kosovo. While myself, and no one that I know is an Albanian, nor has any connection with Kosovo, we are finding it ever hard to watch the atrocities on TV. We want to do what we can to support the plight of the kosovars. Since the US and NATO is unwilling to send in ground troups to fight a ground war, my fellow friends and I, ~ 10 in total want to voulenteer our services for the KLA. Please send us any information you can about how Americans can help out in this crisis. Thank you, and god bless.

My husband and I feel helpless watching the terrible situation in Kosova. If it is at all possible to adopt children to get them away from the war as soon as possible, please let us help.

Dear Kosovars,
Salaam and greetings from the US.

I am an American of Pakistani descent, but when I watch your suffering, I am
an Albanian from Kosova. The entire world condemns the monstrous behavior of
the Serbs. It seems as if we all expect the worst from this low-grade mutation
of the human race. May God give them their just punishment for what they have
done to the Slovenes, Croats, Bosniaks, and now the brave people of Kosova.

It is heartening to read the outpouring of sympathy and affection from people
around the world - British, American, Italian, German, Turk, Croat, Egyptian,
Malaysian, Indonesian, Dutch,Portuguese, Spaniard, Mexican, Korean, Ukrainian,
Hungarian, Norwegian, Swede, Dane, and many others. If I were a Serb (which I
am thankfully not), I would at least apologize for the cowardly and sadistic
actions of murder, rape, torture, looting, and arson that seem to be the
favorite pastime of these anti-Christs.

I am especially touched by the expressions of support from many Jewish
friends. We Muslims should thank the Jews for their kindness and support. Yes,
they know and can feel our suffering. The Muslims of 1990s are the Jews of
1940s. Maybe the grotesque acts of the Serbs can rekindle the bonds of
friendship between Jews and Muslims. And then, all people (Jews, Muslims,
Hindus, Catholics, Protestants, and Buddhists), who place tolerance, kindness,
and compassion over ethnic superiority, brutality and religious jingoism will
surely prevail.

The whole world is with you Kosovars! except for bankrupt Russia, Communist
China, Saddam's Iraq, the mighty Belorus, Muslim-hating BJP Indian Government
which just fell yesterday, and two-faced Greece.
What was that about birds of a feather flocking together? With friends like
that, SLOBO is in big trouble!

In the US, we are all with you - Christians, Jews, and yes Muslims. All except
for the Serbian-American traitors. They should go back to Novi Sad where they
can demonstrate against NATO bombing in real time - while the bombs are
falling.

We are donating as much as we can. Financial aid is good but not enough. We
need to send arms and ourselves to Kosova. Ground troops are coming - you can
tell SLOBO.

Fight on Kosova. Fight on until you are free and the Serbs learn their lesson.
God bless Kosovars, NATO, President Clinton, and Prime Minister Blair. We
support you General Clark!
Go get SLOBO!

Hello, I'm Arthur Saenz, writing you from Costa Rica, I'm involved in
the management of several mailing lists and websites, and I also have
contacts with mailing lists that have enormous amounts of members, most
of these related to music. I've been thinking about it and I think I
might be able to help out, either putting messages at the end of mails
in the lists or using banners and links at my pages, please let me know
if it's of help and also where to get the links or banners, the
messages at bottom of mails, etc.

I'd also like to know what's the procedure to organize activities such
as concerts to donate money to all of these organizations, this because
I have several contacts with the music industry.

Warm regards, love and peace,

Arthur Saenz

Hi, To help people who may have been separated in the Kosovo crisis we have set up a free website where they can leave their details and search the database for others from Kosovo. We believe this site can be very helpful and we hoped you could help us spread the word about it. So please forward this to anyone whom you think could benefit from it. Note that now there is 3 languages, Albanian, English and French. The site is at:

http://www.glaine.net/~kosovo/

Thank you. Thibault Jamme and Henrik V. Risager

Dear People of Kosova, Dear Albanians. In these days my wife and I are totally shocked about the brutality in Kosova I am speakless and in a state of anger not able to do more than spend money. As a father of two children, age 3 and 5 it breaks my heart to see these tremendous tracks of refugees. And to know that they might be the lucky ones. As a Dutch citizen living in Germany I was of course confrontated with the german history in many ways. I was sure, what happened then could not happen again. This is my mistake. My first wife asked her father and mother "why didnt you do something against the deportation of jews?". They could not answer it. And here history repeats itself, now I am in the situation. Therefore my question: Is there a possibility to help in a refugee camp in Albania? I am a plumber by trade and could help in infastructual systems during my holidays. Please let me know Our hearts ant thougts are with all of you

Harry, Germany
