About the Book

This is the story of a charity set up by John van Weenen in 1991 to help the deprived children of Albania following the collapse of the harshly communist government. It was originally published in hardback in 1998 and this edition follows John van Weenen's appearance on BBC TV's "This is Your Life" programme in February, 2001. In the words of the author - "Ironically, when I first learned of Albania's plight, like most British people, I had no idea where the country was. At that time, I knew nothing of the previous forty-seven years, when the restrictive bonds of communism had virtually strangled the lifeblood out of the Albanian nation. I was totally ignorant of the hardship and the torture instigated by the "sigurimi" - Albania's secret police. I knew nothing of the atrocities and the ordeal of political prisoners, destined to spend years in confinement for doing little more than verbally opposing the regime. That was soon to change and an image lasting 2.8 seconds on BBC Television would be the catalyst for, and the embryo to the forming of "Task Force Albania". Within four months, the largest single convoy of humanitarian aid since World War II, would leave Britain for Albania and in the years ahead, many would follow in its wake. That story and that of the small group of dedicated volunteers who "shared my dream" and helped turn it into a reality, is told here in the following pages."
