Campaign volunteers also aimed to promote awareness of environmental issues
Young community volunteers in Kosovo and university students from Japan worked with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) to clean up neighborhoods in the war-torn region of Kosovo. ADRA’s Public Awareness Education Campaign 2000, a waste management and beautification program ran August 1 to 22, and was the kickoff for the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) Waste Management Project.
Campaign volunteers also aimed to promote awareness of environmental issues by distributing materials that included a comic book called The Secret of the Earth.
This fall, with US$2.8 million in funding from the UN Development Programme (UNDP), ADRA will reconstruct five schools in the Malisheve municipality in cooperation with the German KFOR, a NATO-led international force responsible for establishing a security presence in Kosovo. ADRA will also provide public awareness and landmine awareness education to students.
