I WOULD be grateful if, through your newspaper, I could extend my thanks publicly to the individuals (a number of them anonymous) and to the various companies who donated money, equipment or materials which assisted in our recent venture, where volunteer firefighters refurbished a kindergarten in Tuzla, Bosnia.

We were able to completely renovate and restore the building to immediate use, and it is satisfying to know that, through their support, children are now playing and learning together in a peaceful, safe and pleasant environment.
