Groups Send Aid To Kosovo New York ewish groups are taking an active role in aiding the hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the war-torn province of Kosovo. The Albanian ambassador to the United Nations, Agim Nesho, met this week with Jewish representatives to thank them for the efforts of the American Jewish community in help- ing the approximately 200,000 Kosovar refugees in Albania and Macedonia. As in past crises, several Jewish organizations are taking donations. Hundreds of contributions have already poured into the New York offices of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to help with the shelter, medical, food and clothing needs of the refugees. Jewish leaders are showing their support for the Kosovo refugees in non-monetary ways as well. The World ORT Union recently met with some 20 non-governmental organizations in Albania. At the meet- ing, a group of human rights represen- tatives and lawyers was established to interview Kosovar refugees now in Albania to document human rights violations that occurred before they fled their home province. Jewish organizations collecting money for the refugees include: • The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee at JDC Kosovo Mailbox, 711 Third Ave., 10th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10017; • The American Jewish World Service, Kosovar Relief Effort, 989 , Avenue of the Americas, 10th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10018; • The B'nai B'rith International, Humanitarian Relief Fund, 1640 Rhode Island Ave. NW, Washington, D.C., 20036; and • UJA Federations of North America, c/o Kosovo Refugee Fund, 111 Eighth Ave., Suite 11E, New York, N.Y. 10011. ❑ Your brilliance is exceeded only by the volume of your speakerphone.
