ISKCON Hungary Sends Aid To The Flood Affected Bosnia
- 4 Jun 2014 9:00 AM
The hot nutricious vegetarian meal is warmly welcomed by the people, most of whom had barely eaten or drunk for days, as even ef they had access to canned food, they had no means to cook it.
The volunteers serve the victims with lunch in make-shift shelters at schools, gyms and hotels.
From day one, ISKCON devotees and monks in Serbia and Bosnia have been serving the people in several shifts daily. It is a very hard work and they happily accept any help – ingredients to cook from, cookware, cooks, other manpower, vehicles, as well as money.
Having served in several flood and other natural disaster affected areas, ISKCON’s Hungary’s volunteers are experienced humanitarian workers. Primarily, they will help in the Sarajevo area by cooking, serving, driving and taking care of the victims in many other ways. Also, they deliver and supervise the appropriate usage of donations collected in Hungary.
The Hungarian volunteers plan to stay in Bosnia for ten days. Their daily activities could be followed at www.krisna.hu or at www.karitativ.hu.
(If you wish to support the food distribution at the flood stricken Balkans, you can send your donation by bank transfer to KHB 10201006 – 50280757 – 00000000 with the note "Flood aid".)
