General Information
Humans Without Borders (HWB) is a non-government, non-political, recognized charity in Israel (charity no.580493898) that is devoted to helping Palestinian children in the West Bank receive advanced medical  care at Israeli hospitals.  HWB has a small executive board and about 55 active  volunteer drivers and social activists. The NGO is supported by about 150 members. Briefly, the primary activity of HWB is to meet the urgent need among sick Palestinian children from the West Bank for medical care. Children suffering with severe medical problems receive state of the art treatment in major Israeli medical centers. HWB coordinates requests for individual entry permits from Israel’s Civil Administration, and volunteer drivers meet the Palestinian families at the border check-points, escorting them to and from the designated hospitals in Israel. At the hospitals volunteers facilitate communication between staff and parents and make visits to children during hospitalization. Each year more than 1500 trips are made by volunteers. Additionally, HWB organizes outings and picnics for Palestinian sick children and their families and supports educational and social programs. More information can be found on the HWB website http://www.humans-without-borders.org/ .  
Mission and Objectives

HWB believes that it is every child’s right to grow and develop in a caring and supportive environment. HWB is committed to enhancing the safety and well-being of Palestinian children and their communities in the Occupied Territories. By promoting direct, friendly contact between Palestinians and Israelis, and through its efforts to brighten the lives of the children and ease the anxiety of their parents, HWB is regarded by both sides as contributing significantly to greater mutual respect in this troubled area.
 
 

Main Projects / Activities

Please find in the following a summary of the most  recent projects and activities of Humans Without Borders.
Humans without Borders (HWB) continued in 2013 its primary mission in assisting to transport sick Palestinian children from the West Bank towns and villages to Israeli hospitals for advanced medical care that is not available under the health care system of the Palestinian Authority. A band of dedicated volunteers works tirelessly to bring the children and families to the hospitals and provide any additional necessary assistance.
As in previous years, HWB members organized several outings and fun happenings to brighten up the lives of the children and parents. HWB believes that it is every child's right to grow and develop in a caring and supportive environment, and is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of Palestinian children and Palestinian communities. By promoting direct, friendly contact between Palestinians and Israelis, HWB hopes to contribute significantly to greater mutual respect in this troubled area.
Highlights of our work in 2013:
*        Transport of sick children. More than 1,500 trips were made by Israeli volunteer drivers – Jewish, Moslem and Christian – from border checkpoints to hospitals in Jerusalem and the greater Tel Aviv area and back.
*       Day at the circus. In May. HWB members organized a visit in Beth Jala, near Bethlehem, of the Israel-Arab circus to entertain 35 sick Palestinian children, their extended families and many of our volunteers. This event was made possible through a grant from the Prelude Foundation.
*         Day at the sea. In July, HWB members arranged a day at the sea for families of Palestinian sick children. The volunteers teamed up with a group of students from the Arabic-Hebrew Bilingual School in Jerusalem. Support for this event was made possible by a grant from the British Shalom Salaam Trust (BSST).
*        Mothers’ workshop. In August, HWB members organized at the Shaarei Zedek Medical Center a workshop for the mothers of sick Palestinian children so they could talk about their roles in the family and their very special circumstances – the loneliness and difficulties they experience as mothers of very sick children. The workshop, moderated by the “Women and their Bodies” organization with two 2-hour sessions, was attended by 15 Palestinian mothers. This event was made possible by donations from private individuals in Israel and abroad and will take place regularly in the future.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We work with a very unfortunate and very hetrogeneous group of families who live as far north as Jenin and as far south as the villages in the south Hebron hills. The only thing they have in common is the dominant reality of children with life-endangering illnesses who must spend a substanial part of their week in Israeli hospitals. Mothers must leave their households and families to reside at the hospitals along with the children. Or, in the case of dialysis, they must travel to Jerusalem 4 or 5 times a week for treatment (until a kidney transpant can be arranged).There is nothing innovative here. We simply try and ease the lives of these people and assist them in a few small ways, literally to help them surivive during these dreadfully difficult periods.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We would like to join the ALF Network to  share our interests and activities with other members of the organization and  to seek  ALF finacial support to help us continue our vital activities.
In 2014 Humans Without Borders is planning to organize two one day outings during the summer. In the first, we plan to take the sick children and their families for a trip to a leisure park near Ramalla in the West Bank. Most of the parents and their children rarely can afford to have the opportunity to spend a day of fun and recreational activities.Staffing and organization will be supervised by Israeli volunteers. 
A second outing  is planned to take place during the Eid-al Fitr celebrations (see http://www.humans-without-borders.org/eid-al-fitr-2012-event/).The previous event was held at the Murad Tourist Resort in Beit Schour, a small town near Bethlehem.Some 50 children with their parents enjoyed a fun and recreation day at the swimming pools, followed by a huge lunch catered by the resort. Eid Al-Fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramadan (the month of fasting). Muslims usually give zakat (charity) on the occasion to help the poor and distressed and we initially held this event in 2012 in the spirit of the holiday. If funding is available, we will hold this event for about 50 families, i.e. about 200 people in all, on July 29 or 30 2014

General Information
The Music School in Tivat was founded on October 29th 1964. The founder of the School is the Municipality of Tivat. Since the school year 2005/06 a branch unit of the School has been opened in Radovići. The school focuses its developmental policies on wind instruments. It is important to emphasize that, as the first music school in Montenegro, we opened the department of BRASS WIND INSTRUMENTS (horn and trumpet) and only after a year after its opening, the branch achieved significant results at various competitions. The school has also organized a series of concerts realized in cooperation with the Music Academy in Cetinje and the Chronicle of Bar festival. Through excellent cooperation with NGO Ars praesentia, international workshops for wind instruments have been realized for eleven years in a row in Tivat, which have been visited not only by the students of musical schools from Montenegro, but also from Italy, Germany, Japan, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, Spain, Cuba, etc. The three-year long cooperation between Music School and the professors of wind instruments from the Royal Academy in Stockholm has contributed to the development of the wind instrument department, which is the School’s trademark also outside Montenegro. It is important to mention some of the eminent names who participated in the realization of wind instruments’ seminars, such as: Ljubiša Jovanović (flute - Serbia), Ognjen Popović and Veljko Klenkovski (clarinet – Serbia),  Nenad Janković ( bassoon - Serbia), Milena and Boštjan Lipovšek (flute, horn – Slovenija), Guy Porat (oboe – Israel), Tibor Kerekeš (trumpet – Slovenia), Aleksandar Benčić (trombone – Serbia), Matej Šarc (oboe – Slovenia), Nataša Paklar Marković and Alenka Zupan (flute - Slovenia), Mladen Đorđević (trumpet – Serbia) and many others. This is complemented by the numerous awards of our students at national and international competitions, which have contributed to our school’s becoming the leading institution for the development of wind instruments in Montenegro. With similar policies of development and the cooperation with many prominent artists and pedagogues, we have achieved the desired goals. In 2012/13, the first generation of students of secondary music school has been admitted, for wind instruments. Thanks to the license of the Ministry of Education and Sports, issued on 31/07/2012, the school realizes the training program of primary music education for the instruments: piano, accordion, guitar, percussions, oboe, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn and trombone and the program of secondary music education for the instruments: flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone and piano. Since 2012/13, the official name of the school is Public Institution Music School Tivat. The School Day is the 25th of November.  
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to aid the teaching faculty and students in the increasing of their intellectual capital, through the application of contemporary educational methods. An active and attractive music life is an efficient and useful complement to everyday teaching activities. It helps our students to better envision the possibilities and guiding lines of their future activities in music, within the school itself. Therefore, our goal is to become the leading school for wind instruments in this part of Europe.
Guided by this vision, we offer the music segment as an important cultural offer of our town. We affirm cultural potential, tradition and cultural specificities of the Municipality, as well as the initiatives and activities aimed at raising the levels of urban culture and the preservation of the Mediterranean heritage.
With a good strategy for development, the school can be one of the main cultural backbones for the local community, which, in the case of Music School Tivat, is especially reflected in the projects it had realized so far.
