Noodhulp in de Balkan

Gisteren bleek weer hoeveel VIER VOETERS kan betekenen in de overstroomde gebieden in de Balkan. Tijdens onze dagelijkse inspectieronde rond Obrenovac, zagen we een magere hond op een stapel golfplaten. Door zijn fysieke conditie denken we dat hij hier al meerdere dagen vast zat. En hoewel het water om hem heen niet te diep was, was hij bang om deze plek te verlaten. In eerste instantie dachten we dat hij bang voor ons zou zijn en zou vluchten. Maar het tegenovergestelde gebeurde. Zodra we dichterbij hem kwamen, werd hij dol van blijdschap! We hebben hem meegenomen naar ons kamp en voorzien van voedsel en medicijnen.

This is a music video made/sang by a singer that's from Bosnia. The footage is of the current situation there, as well as Croatia and Serbia.

There are numbers in the video for donations.

Sharing this here per request of my mother. I already reblogged two posts today with donation numbers, help is much appreciated.

Maja's "swine-hopping" lady is a free-spirited and, in a sense, nostalgic image of what she feels Slavonia is.

A massive thanks goes out to Maša Barišić for the cow illustration and one more image added to the Balkan Floods Library!

We've been asked a few times since publishing the page and blog what Cause.works and Balkan Floods actually are - this is the answer:

Cause.works is an initiative, it is a project that will build a platform for anyone in the world to create their own cause campaigns (charity or awareness campaigns), it will provide templates and resources for this and will make it easy and straightforward.

Cause.works will test and build the platform upon actual projects, the first of which is Balkan Floods.

Under the Balkan Floods banner, we will create and/or collect a number of products like t-shirts, prints etc. which we will sell and donate the proceedings to the Red Cross, to be used for the rejuvenation of areas devastated by the floods.

After the inital phase we will evolve Balkan Floods to a travelling auction-exhibition, one-time magazine and monograph.

We hope this explanation helps and makes things clearer but as this is still a fledgling project, things are still not that defined and set in stone and we are open to suggestions and feedback.

Cheers,

Cause.workers

Attached to this announcement you will find a flowchart of the project, it might make things even more clear.

A big thank you goes out to Marija Juza and Nikola Gjurek, of the Typonine type foundry for donating #balkan sans! We will use it in the best possible way, for the Balkan Floods charity project!
