Sarajevo blog: Day 1: Team Bosnia touchdown

Emdad Rahman

We are with the Bosnia Trust this weekend and will be spending the next few days delivering and surveying projects which we are supporting.

We have spent today travelling to our destination after a half day at work. I took the train to work today and didn’t cycle or drive at all.

It was strange being packed into the sardine tin riding the District Line to work and I kept thinking of fellow commuters who do this day in and day out.

I met with London Enterprise Academy Head Teacher Ashid Ali who very kindly supplied some goodies to distribute in Sarajevo during our travels.

After lunch the team made their way to the Queen’s terminal to board Austrian Airlines from London Heathrow to Vienna from where we caught a connecting flight to Sarajevo.

The journey was extremely smooth and passport control at the Medunarodmi Arrodrom Sarajevo was straightforward and welcoming.

Upon arrival we were met by Samir and Jasmin who drove us the short distance to our hostel.

Our strategy meeting has just concluded over a tasty local dinner and we are all set for Friday where we will have a very long day in the field, meeting, greeting our hosts and befriending aid recipients.

We look forward to forging new relationships, meeting dignitaries, coaching, teaching and being inspired by the inhabitants of this beautiful country.

It should be a very interesting day ahead.

If anyone wishes to donate towards the cow project to empower and assist a Bosnian family and help them come out of poverty into prosperity please visit this LINK.
