THANKS TO YOU, 11 YEARS OF CONVOYING HAVE SUCCEEDED!
Now we need your on-going support.

2009 / 2010 — crisis in Gaza
Twice in 2009 we formed part of Viva Palestina convoys of over 200 ambulances & medical supply vehicles to Gaza, Palestine. Our director Kieran Turner helped to organise humanitarian & logistical aspects of the convoys, and led teams taking part on both ocassions. More Gaza deliveries are expected. Any amount you can donate now will be used to buy extra vital relief supplies and transport them there.

Ukraine (Chernobyl)
In Ukraine there is tremendous poverty, and the legacy of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. We're supporting local initiatives like drugs-awareness projects, youth groups, orphanages, schools, and hospitals.

Our convoys have supplied educational equipment including computers, and supported the re-equipping of a residential school for children with mental health problems. You can help us to deliver more by making a donation!

Currently we are working most closely with Ukrainian youth group "Our Generation". Their projects include HIV-awareness theatre and a newspaper for young people. We're supporting other micro-charity projects as well; in fact we're keenly seeking bagpipes for a cultural exchange education project!

Kosova & Albania
In Kosova (Kosovo) and neighbouring Albania we work with local volunteers in hospitals, schools, and their surrounding communities.

We also work with some of the major international aid agencies; our small size helps us react to circumstances and "plug the gaps" in the process of getting aid directly to wherever it's needed most.

Our main aim in Albania is to construct a bore-hole to provide safe, clean water to 4000 people living in the Bathore shanty town. With your help we have secured the neccessary funding!

Now we are urgently seeking appropriate partners with the skills and equipment we need; in other words, engineers and hydrologists who might like to help — and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime in return!

Our latest news on this project is that a new minister for aid co-ordination has been appointed in Albania and we are now in touch with government officials responsible for water supply deployment. They have been most encouraging as it seems the Albanian state is at last in a position to support considerable, co-ordinated efforts to improve sanitation and water supply in the country.

Please read about our work, and see how you can help.

A selection of illustrated newsletters pre-dating this website (with details of projects as they began) are available:
Autumn 02, Spring 03, Autum 03, Spring 04 & Autumn 04.
More recent news can be found here on the website. Don't worry, we're still working as of 2010!
