Gjakova II
I fly out today, to Pristina, then on by bus to Gjakova.
Gjakova, 2000
Sixth form students from a school in Huddersfield and a school in Letchworth are going out to join with sixth form students from the school in Gjakova. Plus there are several arts coordinators: dance, drama, music, sports and visual arts [me, JC]. Together we'll be working with children who were orphaned in the conflict, for ten days, producing a big spectacular show on the last day.
Gjakova suffered some of the worst atrocities of the war six years ago, the town was flattened, thousands were killed and hundreds are still missing. It will be a challenge.
