  7. Aim: Bring the smiles back! It is the aim to develop in the City of Shkodër, Albania, with the assistance of Kiwanis Switzerland-Liechtenstein and the Kiwanis-Club Tirana better possibilities for young people to be educated and trained. This will make life easier for them and will make it possible for them to develop themselves and to become proud citizens of Albania. Such people will be qualified enough to build a better future. Founding of the Club Kiwanis Shkodër! Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  8. Yes, that‘s fine, but why bother me? Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  9. What did we do exactly? In the week of Saturday, 1st. September 2007 we six Kiwanis Members took three huge trucks and a school bus for handicapped children to Albania. We had the trucks loaded with school furniture and other school utensils and gave all of this to the two schools in Shkodër. Everything was under strict control, also in Albania. Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  10. Control at all times: Mr Kastriot Faci, attorney and our „man on the spot“ in Albania saw to it that every piece of furniture was documented properly. Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  11. Why do we have to go on with this Project? Why „Education“ again? • There is an enormous need for education in Albania • The Project allows people to meet Kiwanians: Proof is the chartering of the new Club KC Shkodër! • Respect and self-esteem is not only developed by the children, but by the adults, too. They start to understand other people better • Dialogue between teachers, parents and the general public is made easier, also through the new Clubs being planned in Albania • Kiwanis Motto: „Serving the Children of the World“ Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  12. Why should I feel obliged to help with KEP, even now? And: Others are better in doing that! 1. You are a Kiwanis Member and are looking out at all times for that „hands on“ project that doesn‘t only involve the handing out of cash…2. You and your Club are still searching for that „real“ social Project…3. Because its great fun to meet new Kiwanians in our district or in Albania… Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  13. Why then only Albania? • Albania is not a member of the Common Market, the EU and does not get much money or donations. It may be a very poor country, but it is also a very proud country.We now have a second Kiwanis Club with 35 members. • All the doors are open now, everybody helps us • We learnt very much, learning by doing! • The people are full of thanks and say so, too • In Albania there is only a very basic or even no education in social matters or matters of health • Albania and it‘s future should concern us all! Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  14. Some important contacts Dr. Pascal Arnold Of the Swiss Projekt „Inter-Cooperation“ Education Lora Mandi Kastriot Faci Principal Ymer Vila Mayor Lorenc Luca Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  15. Some very interesting contacts: Mr Riza Poda,Deputy Ombudsman of the Parliament of Albania We met in Geneve and he is very interested. This is also because he has to see to the rights of the youth in Albania. His son studies in Geneve and wants to help, too. Mr Gezim Musabelliu,Deputy of the Parliametarian Group of è. S. D., Committee for Defense and Security. Mr Jozef Bushati,CEO of the University Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein

  16. Projekts: For other Schools, too! We want to deliver more School furniture of all kinds to the schools of the city of Shkodër. We even think of repairing the buildings and the toilet facilities. More School busses, for normal and for handicapped children, are needed Further donations to the project of the mayor for more Play grounds in Shkodër Kiwanis International - District Switzerland-Liechtenstein
