In October this year, I am joining the "Hope and Aid Direct" airborne crew that travels to Kosovo and works with the overland team and our "in country" contacts to deliver aid, support and friendship to those who need it, irrespective of what part of Kosovo they are from, their ethnicity or their religion.
The aid delivered is so desperately needed just to give even a basic amount of food, clothing and support for the cold winter months ahead. We are generously supported in many ways in this country, but buying food supplies in Kosovo and transporting and delivering the donated aid takes not just volunteers, but costs time and money and so your support is very much needed.
On the Easter 2008 trip, 11 lorries travelled a round trip of 3976 miles to deliver 78 tons of aid which, along with items bought in country, enabled the team to deliver aid to 1324 families (equating to 6425 people) and to deliver a "school in a box" to eight schools. We plan to support a similar number of people on this trip. (This makes a total of 1171 tons of aid to 79,561 people over all the trips made by HaAD)
I need to raise my share towards these costs so thank you for visiting this page and considering sponsoring the trip.
Please don't forget to also look at our website! - www.hopeandaiddirect.org.uk Many thanks,

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hope and Aid Direct gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
