With the recent influx of refugees in Macedonia, all humanitarian aid
organizations are establishing programs to meet the emerging needs.  Our
organization, the International Catholic Migration Commission, is no
different.  This past Friday we received money to develop a program for
working with refugee families with special needs kids (Downs Syndrome,
physical handicaps...).  These families have been grouped together in a
couple of tents in the refugee camp, but need additional support. Because this
population has very specific needs, the average humanitarian aid worker can't
do the job.  We are looking for a Social Worker/Psychologist with
experience/knowledge in this area who would be interested in moving to
Macedonia for 6-12 months.

Due to the urgency of the situation, we are looking for someone who could
pick up and leave immediately.

If you know of anyone with the skills and background mentioned above who is
available immediately, please ask them to contact me, Barb Porter-Lauer, as
soon as possible at icmc-mrp at zg.tel.hr.
