Dear friends,
Hope you are all well! I'm writing to you this Monday morning with a small update on the food parcel project you kindly donated to.
This weekend saw the first phase of the project deliver parcels in Gjakova. This years parcels included rice, pasta, salt, sugar, coffee, oil, soap, washing powder, 2 litres of coke cola, flour and sweets for children. Due to our partnership with Ys Men Denmark we were also able to include knitted scarfs, socks, hats and gloves along with some teddy bears for children.
The project also appeared on the news, with the local media taking an interest.
The project will now take a short break and the second phase will take part between Christmas and New Year, when its at it coldest here and when the parcels are most needed. We are well on track to provide around 50 families with parcels across 3 main cities.
From a personal point of view, the conditions and wealth of the families are among the poorest i have ever seen, please be assured your donation is providing families with hot meals, warm clothes, presents for children but most of all hope and the feeling they are not forgotten. Each parcel is given with love, hugs and a listening ear. The receiving families range from war widows to those whose parents are terminally ill and unable to work to those with no jobs living in make shift houses from building debris.
Have a wonderful week, i will update you in the new year along with pictures and testimonies. From everyone in this movement have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New year.
Love & Respect
Adi & the Kosovo team
