“Dear friends of Hope and Aid Direct. Albert Camus, the French Philosopher said that where there is no hope, we must invent it. That powerful notion, inventing hope where there is none, lies at the heart of Hope and Aid Direct’s work. Thank you for helping to sustain the noble mission of this remarkable organisation. In the name of the people of Kosova, thank you again. Arijeta Musliqi”

Will forever be changed simply because they refused to sit by and do nothing while people were suffering. Will learn to work in a team, be resilient and achieve things they never thought possible. Could be you? ​Get in touch now, you are desperately needed!
