Medical Supplies and Uniforms Arrive

Our partners have received a container of soccer uniforms, bean soup, wheel chairs, and a variety of medical supplies which were distributed in Zenica and throughout the country. Bosnian needs have recently shifted from humanitarian aid to practical items such as soccer uniforms. GCH is responding to these changing realities by working with staff on the ground in Bosnia who has the best understanding of community needs.
