Our Mission

Under the guidance of a local contractor, we will construct two small barns for families in need. Upon completion of their barn, we will offer each family a dairy cow so that they will have milk and cheese for their household, and also for sale/trade in the community. While in the Srebrenica region, we will have the opportunity to learn more about Bosnian history and culture, enjoy local cuisine, and experience the power of a strong cup of Bosnian coffee. Through this experience, we will be enriched by exposure to faith practices other than our own, and humbled by the impact of war and violence on individuals, families, and communities.

Raising awareness benefits everyone. If you choose to contribute financially in support of our work, your are certainly supporting peace and reconciliation by helping a family return home, and by offering them the means to feed themselves and their community.
