Bridges Across Borders

We will be sending an emergency response team to Bosnia Herzegovina at the start of May 2018, to provide support to the unfolding refugee crises that is starting to happen there. Our experienced team will be mobile and ready to help in various projects and systems of support. We need your help financially to hire a van or minibus to be able to deliver aid to refugees and provide transport for people who need medical care. We also intend to become an information provider for volunteers and NGOs that wish to assist. Contact us if you want to volunteer or help.

Šaljemo tim za hitnu podršku u Bosnu u Hercegovinu početkom maja 2018, kao pomoć u izbjegličkoj krizi koja tamo počinje. Naš tim iskusnih volontera će biti mobilan i spreman za podršku najrazličitijim projektima. Potrebna nam je vaša finansijska pomoć da unajmimo kombi ili minibus, kako bismo mogli dostavljati pomoć izbjeglicama ili prevoziti one kojima bude potrebna medicinska pomoć. Namjeravamo, takođe, da postanemo centar informacija za nevladine organizacije koje žele pomoći. Kontaktirajte nas ako želite volontirati ili pomoći.

Here is link to a website giving more information about the dangers in BiH. A general rule is always stick to pathways and never walk in long grass or abandoned buildings.

Due to the unfolding situation of refugees now travelling into Bosnia Herzegovina through the mountains from Serbia. BAB is now coordinating with local NGOs and developing the possibility of offering support and possibly sending an emergency support team. As this unfolding situation cannot be be known until Spring when the snow melts on the mountains we are at this point in time only preparing. If an influx happens we can only be of a help with substantial financial support. Please support us to help stop a possible humanitarian disaster. If the influx does not happen we will use the funds to support the refugees that have already arrived in Bosnia Herzegovina.

Hello and welcome to our new website. After seven years we realized it was time to create, update and modernize our website. All our old content and information is still there but our aims have slightly changed. We would like to thank our two IT volunteers for all their help.

Enjoy and feel free to give us feedback.

Drago nam je da smo u BAB-u bili u mogućnosti obezbijediti potrebne materijale za rad sa djecom izbjeglica u kampovima u Srbiji. Više o grupama kojima pomažemo možete pročitati ispod.

U maju, BAB je donirao skromna sredstva za finansiranje potrebnog materijala za novu školu u Izmiru, Turskoj, za sirijsku djecu. U školi rade volonteri iz AMAL-a. AMAL pomaže sirijskim porodicama u Turskoj kroz niz odličnih inicijativa. Potrebno im je više podrške i volontera. Možete ih kontaktirati direktno preko amalshop.org or facebook.com/amalshop.org

In May BAB gave a small financial donation to fund the necessary materials needed for a new school in Izmir, Turkey for Syrian children. The school is staffed by volunteers from AMAL.
