The 'Independent' Bosnia appeal

The Independent Bosnia Appeal has so far raised pounds 59,000. The money has been sent in by readers to help 15 charitable organisations operating to ease the plight of the 2.7 million people in former Yugoslavia who are entirely dependent on aid. For every donation the Independent will add 10 per cent, up to pounds 30,000.
