Kosovo refugees seek jobs as English lessons begin in Burbank

In Burbank a Kosovo Gashi family learns English five nights weekly while awaiting welfare and job leads. Teacher Darrel Larkin guides basic words and times, aided by caseworker Mia Gashi. Hosts donate space, with family members aiming to escape welfare and regain independence. The Sokolis, educated and eager to study, adjust to life in Worth while hoping for dual U.S. citizenship and possible moves to Macedonia for work.

Missionary courier aided Albanian relief through dangerous money drops

Maria Waldschmidt funded relief in a refugee camp by transporting about 45000 marks per trip in a money belt, blending with Albanians to feed and stock a warehouse near the camps. She works with Greater Europe Mission, living in Suedenscheid, Germany, and plans a Kosovo clinic, school, and warehouse to aid ethnic Albanians after years of destruction. Donations are directed to Homewood Church in Homewood, Illinois.
