Dear Friend,
Happy holidays from us here at Partnere per Femijet!
As we all look forward to the New Year with hope and joy, for many families and young children in Albania, 2020 looks bleak and each day colder and wet now the winter is here.
The recent earthquake took away families’ homes, like those in the Kombinat or Vore areas, near to Tirana, leaving children as young as 6 months old with their siblings under 4 and their parents living in tents. The luckier ones have been given a portable cabin, but for most of them they shiver and try to make the best of it as the heavy rainstorms makes the tents damp and outside ground forms large muddy puddles. How do you get warm or dry when the wind drives straight through the thin canvas walls; how do you make hot meals or wash and dry your clothes?
Our wish for next year is to be able to help these families rebuild their homes and to provide furniture and basic essentials. We also need to prevent the babies and young children catching coughs, flu and worse illnesses due to their poor living conditions. Dry and warm clothes and bedding are essential to keep everyone warm and comfortable. This holiday season, please consider helping us to help the children! The work that we do is dependent on individuals like you.
What can you do?
Each small donation gives a young child a smile and they know they have not been forgotten. Let the New Year be a new beginning for these families!
Thank you,
Partnere per Femijet Staff
