Event: Women for Women International March of Peace 2013, from 8 July 2013 to 11 July 2013

Story

Please sponsor me! I walked a 110km Peace March this July, following the path refugees from Srebrenica fled along after 8000 of their male relatives, friends and neighbours were killed by Karadzic's forces in 1995.This was Europe's worst massacre since the second world war. 

This three day march ended in Srebrenica with a Memorial Ceremony & Funeral Service where 409 newly identified remains of their loved ones will finally be laid to rest, including the 18 year old brother of our guide, Elvir.

The women showed such strength and courage, even when burying 6 family members at one funeral.  They deserve every penny raised to help them repair themselves and thier coummunities from such horrors.
