By Samia Zeitoun
Al-Ahram Weekly, 2 - 8 March 2000)
The war in Kosovo is over, but the dust has not settled in that part of the world. Since June 1999, thousands of ethnic Albanians have returned to what was once home. Little is left of what they remember as Kosovo. Destroyed by the Serbs, on one hand, and NATO's bombing of the country's infrastructure, on the other, they face a harsh life in refugee camps and the derelict buildings of a war-torn landscape

Volunteer in the Balkans

The nightly news presented a steady stream of heart-rending images. What could I do to help in Kosovo? I had no experience in relief work. As a business consultant and manager, I’d worked in stressful situations in Asia. Perhaps, I hoped, my organizational experience would be useful.

Balkan Sunflowers: Using ICTs to Mobilise Volunteers for Social Reconstruction in the Balkans

Summary

Balkan Sunflowers (BSF) is a non-profit, international grassroots organization that was founded in the spring of 1999, originally to aid the Kosovar refugees. It brings together volunteers from all over the world that want to help in ways that monetary donations and emergency humanitarian aid cannot. Person-to-person interaction with voluntary workers, who come to work as partners and neighbours, helps to restore a sense of community life and soothe the experiences of those who have been uprooted.

Using an entirely Internet-based volunteer recruitment system built on simple mailing list and WWW tools, BSF has mobilized thousand of volunteers to participate in rebuilding Balkan communities from the ground up.
