[kan-l] A direct link to Albania

[Teresa Crawford]

**** Kosova Action Network Discussion List ****
A MORE DIRECT LINK TO ALBANIA TO HELP THE REFUGEES...

This email came from an NGO coordination group in Albania.  As overwhelmed as the international community is in Albania and Macedonia one can only imagine how overwhelmed local groups are.  

He is asking for a more direct link with groups in the US that want to help.

If anyone has any ideas please get in touch with him.  Once the international attention shifts from Kosova which we all hope it does not these local groups are going to be left bearing the brunt of helping the refugees who cannot return home.  Supporting their work is essential.

If you have any questions please call.
