Over 7 years ago while driving along an isolated country road we noticed a small Roma encampment of a few dilapidated shacks next to a tiny stream. Since we generally carry some humanitarian aid in the back of our vehicle, we stopped and went down to give them what we had with us…
Thanks to the generous donations of food, clothing, shoes, toys, hygienic supplies, and a wide variety of other gifts-in-kind, Healing Hearts Balkans volunteers are able to regularly distribute humanitarian aid to those in need.
Since our arrival in the former Yugoslavia in 1995, besides helping in the post-war recovery, one of the areas that we identified as being very needy and one that we wanted to focus our attention on was that of helping the handicapped and those with special needs.
