In the mean time, our school furniture and the technical material have arrived at the Nikola Karev primary school of Kruševo.  Given that we could not transport the material in a separate trailer, but only as mixed cargo (together with some farming equipment), the Macedonian customs insisted that all the goods had to be unloaded in Skopje for the customs procedures.  What a pity, not only because of the lost time and the additional work, but also because the additional unloading and loading bares a big risk of damaging the furniture, especially the fragile writing surfaces of the blackboards... 

 With the help of Makosped (the Macedonian transport company who had helped us already with the previous transport) the material was brought to Kruševo with a smaller truck in two partial loads, the first on Thursday July 19, and the second on Monday July 23.  Tanja Hasanu from the Municipality of Kruševo has sent us  these photos vom from the unloading of the material at the Nikola Karev School.

The main reason for the 52nd delegation trip to Kruševo, which took place from June 15 to 19, was the celebration of 10 years of collaboration between GGBS and the four women's association in our partnership region.  The following participants from Switzerland took part in the festivities:  GGBS President Ursula Weiss, GGBS Vice-President Hedi Schwarzwälder, Helene Sironi and Lukas Weiss.  After a joint seminar on the first day of the celebrations, on the second day, the entire group was invited to a sightseeing tour to the marvelous region of lake Ohrid.  Hedi brought us back from the delegation this set of beautiful photos.

At the request of Narodna Tehnika, last November GGBS had organized a short workshop at the NT Center on the topic of web design and CMS. The aim of the workshop was to train a small group of NT members how to set up and maintain CMS based websites.

 For the same reason GGBS has also registered the internet domain name krusevo.org. GGBS will make this  domain accessible to all local associations and organization.

After an intensive period of learning and hard work, Narodna Tehnika has now put on-line a first version  of their new website under the address http://nt.krusevo.org...
