Rotaract Club Tuzla from Bosnia and Herzegovina would like to inform us about the flooding in their country. Please see a message from the President below: For the last couple of days Bosnia and Herzegovina is suffering severe flooding we did not know for at least 120 years and there is already some people killed, many houses were damaged or destroyed, roads closed due to soil erosion, bridge collapse or worse, some places do not have water, electricity, people are ending up in shelters, etc. and they need everything - food, water, blankets and a place to stay. We started an initiative of collecting money for these unfortunate people to buy them food, water or pay stay in a motel if the shelters get full. The weather has already taken the first lives and it is said that in the soil erosions some of the leftover mines from the war in 92 have moved also and present an even bigger danger now. Here is a link to Indiegogo campaign: igg.me/at/floodsbih/x/7052063 We have set a lower goal so we can get it sooner to those in need, but I believe that it can go over the goal if there are enough backers. If you would rather donate directly, you can also do it via PayPal to this e-mail. If not by donating, you can always help by sharing the link above.
