Funeral of 7-year-old Bosnian Muslim boy Nermin Divovic. Father Paso Divovic, soldier defending Sarajevo, attended the funeral of his son. (Bosnian Genocide)
Thanks to everyone that contributed their time and money to helping the Divovic/Sokolovic family...
Microgiving took almost $100 for funding the project leaving it at $470.00 that they sent my in a check. I recieved an additional $30 through ebay funding. I then spent $20 myself to send the money via Western Union to Dr.Kabil in Sarajevo who took care to ensure the money go to were it was needed most in clothing and food.
I want to thank most of all Samira Tahirovic who has quietly without fanfare or public acknowledgement has helped the family for years. She has sent money herself and actually paid for the gravestone herself about a week before the money arrived in Sarajevo. She is a genuine hero and friend to Bosnian people and has done so much for this family.
The money went to the two brothers of Nermin (one who is named Nermin also) to buy some clothes for school. The rest went to buy them food. In total they recieved 700km from the donations, my friend Edin took them shopping with the money drove them around the city and found the cheapest place to buy food in Sarajevo and paid 20km to send the food home with them in a cab. Thanks for all that everyone did, it was special.
