Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. However, we will definitely be opening our home to that Bosnian family, as well as some Indian friends should they need us. We'll be doing other things as well. As to the Bosnians, war does freaky things to people. Our friends got out with a certain grisly humor along with the nightmares, but it isn't much different than the one Americans came home from Viet Nam with. And as with most of our Viet Nam vets, these folks didn't let what they saw ruin their sense of right and wrong. It is you and I who have to take personal responsibility for for what America is and what Americans can be. Hope you'll decide to keep doing what you can.
That film was no JOKE! A Japanese photograher actually took pictures of those roasted Serbians....and I WILL NOT EVER EXCUSE that behavior as JUST stuff that happens in war! PERIOD!
I am the recipient of several awards for my work with refugees...I will NEVER again work for Bosnians....NEVER! NEVER!!!!!
And, I am not alone in this decision. Our organization lost fully 40% of volunteers who had similiar experiences....the rest were working with Cambodians,Kurds, Africans and Vietnamese.
We help others now...and it WILL stay that way!
