In 2015 and 2016, a group of locals from an Albanian village in North Macedonia banded together to help hundreds of thousands of war refugees who were passing the border near their village.<\/p>\n
These men worked for hours every night to help men, women, children, the ill, and the elderly.\u00a0 They brought help to refugees of all faiths. They brought them food, warm, shelter, and whatever support they could. They carried their bags and babies, helped warm up frozen children, reunited families, and risked their own lives and safety to help strangers they had never met and may never meet again.<\/p>\n
They often worked all night, slept for only a few hours, and then worked their regular jobs to support their own families.<\/p>\n
They were sometimes seen about the transit camp, barefoot in the middle of the night, running here and there helping refugees, having just given away their shoes to someone they felt needed them more.<\/p>\n
They called themselves \u201cTeam Studeni\u010dani \u201d \u2013 named after their village. To read more about their story, please read While Politicians Talk, People Take Action \u2014 A Story Of Humanity<\/a><\/p>\n The village of Studeni\u010dani sits outside of Skopje, in North Macedonia. It\u2019s people are primarily Albanian.<\/p>\n The village of Studeni\u010dani, the people of Albania, and Albanian children throughout Southeast Europe, need help.<\/p>\n The purpose of this fundraiser is to raise funds to bring better educational materials to the Albanian people and children of the world. As funds allow, we will also provide other essential needs such as food, clothing, and shoes.<\/p>\n
