News Hope and Aid Direct have received received both national and local publicity over the years for our work, fundraising activities and achievements. We've been mentioned in the House of Commons, during a debate on the Balkans and we've also campaigned our MPs to try to improve the life of some of the world's most vulnerable people. The following are some examples of what we've been doing and what's been said about us. What's been done MEDICAL EMERGENCY - LEAD POISONING The camps of Zitkovac, Cesmi Luk and Kablare in Kosovo, inhabited by some 500 refugee Roma, have deadly soil lead levels. The World Health Organisation has described the lead levels in these camps as constituting a MEDICAL EMERGENCY. Already a number of Roma children have died because of lead poisoning. The Humanitarian Law Centre - Kosovo and the European Roma Right Centre are calling you to join the petition for the immediate evacuation of the Roma camps in north Mitrovica, Kosovo. Roma children are at risk - they need to be removed from the source of poisoning - NOW. An e-mail petition has been organised to try and get something done quickly for these people. Please copy the details above and e-mail them to your friends, asking them to add their name to the bottom and when you have a large quantity of names send the email to: jeta.b@hlc-kosovo.org Your can also write to your MP, urging them to bring situation to the attention of fellow Members in the House of Commons. If you would like more details please email mail@hopeandaiddirect.org.uk and we will pass you on a sample letter and supporting documentary evidence.
