Thank you

We must thank the following organisations for there continuous generosity and help. With out their help and support a lot of work would not have been possible. (This list is in no set order):

A&S Print Services Ltd

A&S Print Services Ltd, in Hutton, Essex, has now generously agreed to provide our Truck Stickers. These stickers give us an identity, but more than that, they contribute to our safety whilst we are in-the-field by making us recognisable as deliverers of international humanitarian aid. We are exceptionally grateful to them.

Ford Motor Company

The support that we get from our friends at Ford Motor Company is quite superb, and many tonnes of aid would not get to its destination without their magnificent support.

BskyB

Thanks to BskyB from Hope and Aid Direct for the most generous donation of First Aid Kits. There were 60 of them! A picture is attached shown laid out ready for transporting to Kosovo. Some will go to medical centres within minority enclaves, and some to centres for the internally displaced. Even after five years there are still many families living in appalling conditions in these “temorary” shelters and camps, some under protection by British and other UN forces.

Some kits will go the Women’s prison in Liplyan, where the female inmates from 16 to 42 yrs old will be given basic first aid training. The only women's prison in Kosovo is a dreary place with many of the inmates from very poor backgrounds, often having been unwillingly forced into prostitution or drug-running. We hope to be able to support them via training in sewing, hair-dressing, first aid and other skills in order improve feelings of self-worth and help them practically for the future. A few of the boxes will be retained for use on our convoy of over a dozen vehicles planned to depart from UK on 23 September 2005.

Nike

On behalf of Hope and Aid Direct and the surviving youngsters of Krushe e Vogel, we would like to thank everyone at Nike for their most generous help for this football project. That means that we now have a complete kit to equip the young people there.

Bernie (Sullivan) has just returned from two weeks in the Balkans and found that in his absence, five boxes had arrived in addition to the previous packages. This makes a magnificent total of:

	30 pairs of new football boots
	30 pairs of new football socks
	28 pairs of new football shorts
	30 new football shirts
	4 new footballs

With additional support from Saucony who have generously supplied trainers, the only item that we need to locate would be a pair of five-a-side goal posts and nets. With plenty of time left between now and our September convoy, I'm sure that a good Samaritan will appear to complete our efforts. When the time comes, I will send some pictures from the village
