A word of thanks
We especially want to thank the following Clubs for their efforts and for their interest::

KC Winterthur KC / Sihltal-Zürich / KC March-Hoefe / KC Weinfelden /
KC Wattwil-Toggenburg / KC Gossau-Flawil / KC Dor-nach/ KC Davos / KC Biel / KC Basel-Merian / KC Thun / KC Rorschach-Sulzberg / KC Surselva /
KC Liechtenstein / KC Wä-denswil / KC Lugano/ KC Benken-Linth / KC Zermatt / Kiwanis Clubs in the region of the Tessin and Northern Italy

We also want to thank the Firms who helped us so generously with the transport. They did not only charge us extremely low fares, but also helped to load and to offload the trucks, work that caused quite an amount of sweat! All this made the Project of the first of Sep-tember such a big success!

Gafner AG from Gwatt-Thun with KC Urs Gafner (KC Thun): KC Urs Gafner charged far less than he could have charged and KC Thun subsidized the transport financially!
SLT Speditions EST with KC Bryan Jeeves from Schaan, (KC Lichtenstein)
Our Kiwanis Friend Bryan Jeeves donated the travelling expenses for one truck, including the fare cahrged by the Ferry Bari – Durres. For the second truck he also charged way below what he could have charged. We also want to mention Manfred Müller, who organised everything so perfectly!
We had to collect the furniture and store it in Thun and Rorschach. This we did with the help of:
Landolt Transport AG from Pfaeffikon SZ with KF Armin Landolt (KC March Höfe) and KF Armin Meier (KC Sihltal-Zürich): Here, too, only the minimum was charged!

Crane work: Caduff SA Tavernase

We may not forget the donation of the School bus for handicapped children:
KC Weinfelden organized a School bus for handicapped children
This bus, equipped to transport handicapped children, came from the Stiftung Friedheim, Weinfelden, and had been taken out of service because of age. In Albania this bus will, however, still do its duty for many years to come!

In the near future the letters of thanks will be posted. Please have some patience!
