I am proud to note that several Oregon humanitarian organizations have been on the front lines in both Central America and the Balkansparticularly in Kosovo. Mercy Corps International based in Portland. Oregon. is one of the largest humanitarian agencies helping Kosovar Albanian refugees and first began work in that area in 1993. Over the past six years. the agency has provided more than $30 million in relief and development aid to 250.000 people in the area. Whether it be providing food. blankets. clothing. hygiene and cooking utensils to the first onslaught of refugees. or managing refugee camps in Senekos. Mercy Corps International has made humanitarian aid a priority in a desperate situation. In Central America.
