The Balkan Sunflowers:

      Balkan Sunflowers brings volunteers from around the world to work as neighbors and friends in social reconstruction and renewal. By organizing social and cultural activities, we exchange ideas and energy in order to promote understanding, further non-violent conflict transformation, and celebrate the diversity of the lives and cultures of the Balkan region.
     Working for a few weeks or many months, volunteers bring skills, experience and enthusiasm to societies that have been depleted by conflict, and the volunteers are themselves enriched by their involvement in community building.
     Balkan Sunflowers activities are intended both to achieve concrete results and to enliven and empower the participants and their communities. Through play, art, sport, work and celebration, and in compassionate response to traumatic experiences, we serve the communities with whom we live.







Mercy Corps International:

      Mercy Corps International exists to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. In 1999, we provided food, shelter, health care and economic opportunity to more than three million people in 24 developing and emerging countries, sent emergency goods and material aid to eight additional countries, and delivered $93 million in humanitarian aid. Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided over $450 million in assistance to people in more than 68 countries.
