Every day we see the horrors on CNN, the local press, and it angers methat
so many people here in the United States are so indifferent to the
situation in Bosnia. It is so horrible, that sometimes I'm moved to
tears. I imagine that it is my family that has just been violated insome
horrific way. It is unfathomable that this beautiful place thathosted the
Winter Olympics is now a cemetery. Such evil that lurksin the hearts of
the wrongdoers. Is there any organized effort here inthe United States to
send clothing and supplies for the wintermonths???????"Io prego per la
pace"Bob Riley

The following was in preparation when we heard of the mortar
attack on Sarajevo. Our sorrow is matched by our determination to
support the multi-ethnic, tolerant society that the terrorists
are trying so hard to kill in Bosnia. We offer the following
appeal in memory of those murdered in the attack. - ea

Sarajevo Winter Report/Appeal #3
BACKGROUND Last February a few netters in the US and Sarajevo
started the "Sarajevo Winter" project, which wired cash to
Sarajevo for distribution amongst the people of a neighborhood to
help them get through the winter months. We set up a bank
account, found a way to wire money to Sarajevo reliably, and
appealed for contributions. Our Sarajevan team member distributed
the money amongst needy people of his acquaintance.
Over the winter we collected and sent a total of $1900 to
Sarajevo, which has been shared amongst a total of 30 people.
We also carried $900 to individuals at the request of netters who
heard of our project; and we sent a small amount of money to
Bihac.
THE QUESTION OF PROFITEERS We decided that money sent to
Sarajevo would work against the black market if people could lay
in supplies during those times when the city was relatively open
and prices low. We decided that it was more important to help
people with immediate necessities in this way rather than worry
too much about the profits of those who were bringing goods in
during the siege.
We would have sent more money to Bihac, but the situation there
was different than in Sarajevo, and our Bihacan team member
advised that such aid at the time was not useful.
END OF THE FIRST PHASE, BEGINNING OF THE SECOND Supplying money
to Sarajevan friends during the winter was a successful project.
However, the task of distributing the money - and having large
amounts of money in hand - was a burden to our Sarajevan team
member, and we are not currently soliciting contributions for
that particular activity.
However, during the first phase we have identified specific
needs in Sarajevo and also Tuzla, that can be met through
Sarajevo Winter wires, and are now appealing for help in meeting
them. Our current projects are:
1. We are helping a Sarajevan soldier who lost his foot after
stepping on a mine; this soldier needs remedial surgery, and a
decent prosthesis. His wound is not serious enough to require
medical evacuation, and we are attempting to supply the funds he
needs to get proper care in Sarajevo. We have arranged for a US
doctor to consult with the Sarajevan doctor via email, and the
prosthesis will be built either in the US or Sarajevo, depending
upon the siege situation. NEED: $1,000
2. We were able to deliver a number of solar-panel battery
chargers and portable stoves to Sarajevo during the winter, and
have been told that these made a big difference to people. We
would like to procure and deliver more. NEED: $500
3. We have begun a project "Tuzla Disabled Online" to allow the
mobility-disabled community in Tuzla to communicate with their
peers in other countries via email. We are hoping to supply two
groups, the Union of War Invalids and the Association of
Dystrophics, with the hardware needed to bring people online and
also provide training in computer skills. Deltacomm ltd, a
telecomm company in Tuzla, will provide the necessary technical
help. NEED: $2,500.

our account by wire or check.
