EVENTS 2009 Charity Action for Serbian Orphans in Kosovo At the June meeting of SCAM, reviewed were new facts respecting our action of raising funds for Serbian children who live in Kosovo today without one or both parents. This action was initiated in June 2008, and it had been very successful. These children were born either in Kosovo or in Bosnia and Croatia, which they fled because of the war atrocities during the 1990s. Their parents perished in wars or of famine. The situation of these children worsened with the unilateral declaration of secession of Kosovo by Albanian separatists in February 2008.
Informative Protest "Remember and Think!" On March
28, 2009, SCAM organized an informative protest around Millennium Library in
the Winnipeg downtown. This event marked the 10th anniversary of NATO's air
war against FR Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro) in order to warn against
repeating this sort of aggression in the future. The SCAM members and sympathizers
dispatched about 600 fliers and pamphlets and talked with a number of citizens. On March 24, 1999, NATO launched a 78 day-long air war against FR Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro). Unprovoked and countering NATO's contemporary charter, this war claimed thousands of military and civilian victims and crippled Yugoslav economy. Here is a brief description of the war. Here is a commentary on the war.
