Ako biste volili da imati bosansku verziju, molim da pissete Zlati Zahirovici na . Summary: This is a description of the group "Be My Friend", which is addressing the needs of war-traumatized primary-school children in Sarajevo and hopefully in the rest of Bosnia- Herzegovina. At the end I suggest that the group could use some "Friends of Be My Friend" to help promote its work. -- ed ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Be My Friend" Those in Bosnia-Herzegovina who are trying to rebuild the country on a pluralistic, open model have to contend against many countervailing forces: the duplicity of the big Powers, who foist non-elections on them, the ever-present threat that a fragile peace will fail once the Balkans drops out of the western news, and an innate conservatism amongst those in power, a conservatism ill-suited to the needs of creative reconstruction. This conservatism is seen in the primary-school system. Before the war, the system produced highly educated people, as anyone who has had the pleasure to work with Bosnians can attest. But the children have been traumatized by war and dislocation, and "education" now must encompass much more than grammar and arithmetic; and the "educators" must now include not only teachers and officials, but also parents and neighborhoods. The group "BE MY FRIEND" was formed to do this. BMF, founded in 1993 during the Siege of Sarajevo, is a non-profit and independent voluntary organization, whose goal is to involve the overall social network in the care and support of school-age children who have had traumatic war experiences, so that the kids may, as much as possible regain lost ground on psychological and social, as well as strictly educational, levels. Such a project is tremendously important; it would be a real tragedy if these children who survived the siege of Sarajevo were now to be abandoned to the demons of their memories and bitterness. What then will the next generation of Sarajevans be? "BE MY FRIEND" achieves its aims through the following, which I have taken from letters to me by workers in the organization: * Identifies children having problems arising from traumatic experiences, and offers psychological support services to those children. * Through creative activities: music, acting, painting, literary essays, exhibitions, public appearances and sports, helps the children to become re-acquainted with themselves and their capabilities which are then encouraged in positive directions. * Schedules the children's leisure time in order to divert them from the streets and problematic behavior, and to increase their self-esteem. In the long run, these after-school activities help the overall community which, in the war-time and post-war circumstances, has become more or less unable to deal with delinquency informally, as it was able to do before the war. * Works with parents individually and in groups, helping them become as active as possible in solving their own as well as their children's problems. * Cooperates with schools, teachers and neighborhood groups. During discussions, these groups discover (or invent) ways that they can participate in fulfilling the needs of the children, without leaving everything to "the authorities". The BMF program is unique in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is a model for similar cooperation between different sectors of society in dealing with other problems of reconstruction - a cooperation indispensable for the rebuilding of the civic life of the country. Already BMF has achieved some success. At least one school has officially adopted the BMF model, and "Children Sarajevo," one of BMF's after-school programs, saved many kids from despair during the siege, and, through a clever use of computers, has made it possible for its kids to be in touch with their peers elsewhere in the world during difficult times. A Suggestion... Perhaps some people in public life could become a "Friend of BE MY FRIEND". The organization doesn't particularly need money at this time, but could use some exposure - some people who could at the appropriate times speak about the organization and its work. Anyone knowing such persons, please feel free to forward this posting to them. Come to think of it, energetic activists not in the public eye might also find ways to promote "BE MY FRIEND". If you are one of these, don't hesitate to be in touch. If you think you can help in some way, or if you just want to email some moral support to the group, please write to Zlata Zahirovic at . Zlata, the kids of Sarajevo, and the staff of BE MY FRIEND will be grateful for your interest. -- ed _________________________________________ Ed Agro, Peacenet Balkans Desk pnbalkans@igc.apc.org - eagro@igc.apc.org
