The Volunteer Project Pakrac once again has a working phone number.
It is (0)34 411-881. The number in our recent project newsletter, Kako
Si, is wrong. This is the right number. Sorry to anyone who has tried to
reach us the past two weeks.

Hi,
there has been a lot of talk about this City and we know why. Now lets get
things done, let's build it up and we are ready to help it.
There is an ultimate source for peace and a flourishing economy and it is
called connectivity. We try to do our best to give S. a gateway through the
sky so it can communicate and exchange and start heeling the wounds of the
past.

Ovo je o grupi "Be My Friend" iz Sarajeva, koji radi da uvuci
razne delove bosanskog drusstva da pomoci decu da su stradali
psiholosscom i drugom traumom u ratu. 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
