Pleae, at least read. If we want to not only stop the war, but help those in need because of the war, this is a wonderful way to assist.

Thanks for reading.


To help the most vulnerable victims of war and conflict, such as orphans, widows, and young girls, by providing direct relief and support with minimum administrational costs, by employing and utilising local staff and infrastructure, being continuously sensitive to the cultural needs of the communities we are serving.





Living Necessities: direct financial support for the most needy, especially orphans, widows, elderly and refugees.


Education: courses for female students and specialised training in Information Technology, Management, Foreign languages, Marketing, Finance and Accountancy, leading to professional qualifications meeting European standards; enabling students to gain employment. Also providing University scholarships to assist needy students, particularly young women.


Shelter: Small Kindness assists whenever possible to rebuild the houses of victims that have been destroyed or damaged during times of conflict. In the Balkans, many thousands are still displaced through ethnic-cleansing and need shelter due to the loss of their homes.


Culture & Leisure: establishment of Recreation Centres where youth can meet and enjoy various activities such as sports and learn to use computer technology through games and motivational software.


Publications: publishing magazines and tape cassettes in local languages for children and families that promote healthy moral and cultural values through entertaining articles and cartoon comic series.

3. Doesn't anyone give half a shit about this?

Is everyone all talk about being pissed off about the state of the constitution and happy about the premiere of a movie? And that's it?

I see frequently posts relating to the idea of "where are we going?" "are we becoming like 'freepers?'"

Maybe so.

Talk about a movie.

Pretend you care about what is going on.

Don't do anything.

As I asked someone earlier, what are you doing? They had posted something to the effect of "what are you doing besides sitting in your rocker?"

8. So many victims...

We have to help any way we can. Just being a woman or a child can be hell in times of war, it's important to see what can be done to bring about a more tolerable standard of living. Thanks for posting.
