Please Help Bosnia and Herzegovina

Dear readers,

Today is mourning day in our country.

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia have been victims to the most catastrophic floods ever recorded in our history.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina the floods have caused over 3000 landslides in which houses were completely destroyed. As if all that was not enough, the landslides have moved some of the estimated one million land mines left over from the war in the 1990's.

Now thousands of people have lost everything they had for the second time in their life. Many have been injured. Many didn't survive.  As an aftermath, infectious deceases are spreading in the collective centers filled with people who are losing hope and perspective. Over one million people will be affected by the events.

This blog is about the little everyday things that make us happy. What makes us happy these days and gives hope are the helping hands of so many good people in Bosnia Herzegovina and abroad.

Emina took these pictures in one of the affected cities, Maglaj. After the water level has sunk, hundreds of people from all over the country and abroad are helping the victims to clean their houses. Unfortunately, other cities are still under water.

All that is left from what used to be a living room.

We are calling you to get involved and help in any way you can. Millions of even the smallest deeds will result in one big impact. Please donate. Please volunteer. Please spread the word.
