English to Bosnian: ship to bosnia
Source text - English y initiating the Swedish organization Ship to Bosnia, Leif Jansson started what is soon to be a ten year old journey. Against all odds and the doubt from ”people with knowledge and experience”, Leif, together with, among others the Swedish singer Ulf Lundell, managed to send M/S Haväng, a ship carrying 108 containers and a fire truck to the war-stricken Bosnia and Hercegovina in 1995.
Already one year earlier, Leif had made friends with the people in the small mining village of Lipnica, outside Tuzla, from tradition a place of peaceful co-existence between the ethnic groups, where solidarity had been kept alive in spite of the madness of the war.
The idea to continue cooperation was born after M/S Haväng had arrived, and to build a ”Solidarity House” in the tradition of the Swedish ”People´s House Movement”. In 2002, the House was finished, and over the years, a lot of activities has been initiated for the people of Lipnica, targeted also to women, youth and children. The work has been continously going on, long after most other international organizations left the area. Through Ship to Bosnia, also the senior citizens have been supported, by a trip to Budapest in Hungary, and some days of recreation with nice, hot baths.
For this work, Leif Jansson, on the 2nd of October 2003, the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Tuzla, was awarded ”Honorary Citizen of Tuzla”, together with American peace-broker Richard Holbrooke. On the day after, a celebration took place in the Solidarity House in Lipnica, with songs and music and a lot of joy and tears.
Still, for Leif and Ship to Bosnia, the process of handing over the management of the House to the local citizens remains to be completed. The idea is that the House will continue to be a multietnical meeting place for seminars, conferences, for joy and education, solidarity and cooperation between people. Besides, there is also a need for some further equipment in the House, and some reinforcement work must be made around the House.
So, for Ship to Bosnia, there is still some work left.
A project that started during a cruel and devastating war, giving people faith of a better future in co-existence deserves a worthy and honorable final. Faithful to the aim of giving the House and the people active in it, the possibility to continue to live in coexistence and spread the idea of solidarity also to others.
Translation - Bosnian Inicirajuci svedsku organizaciju Ship to Bosnia, Leif Jansson je poceo desetogodisnje putovanje. Protiv svega loseg i sumnje Ťljudi sa znanjem i iskustvomť, Leif je zajedno sa, izmedju ostalih, svedskim pjevacem Ulfom Lundellom, uspio poslati M/S Havang, brod sa 108 kontejnera i vatrogasno vozilo u ratom pogodjenu Bosnu i Hercegovinu 1995.
Vec godinu ranije, Leif je stekao prijatelje u malom rudarskom selu Lipnica kod Tuzle, u tradicionalnom mjestu suzivota izmedju etnickih grupa gdje se solidarnost odrzala uprkos bijesu rata. Ideja da se nastavi saradnja se rodila, i time se rodila ideja da se izgradi ŤKuca Solidarnostiť po tradiciji ŤPokreta narodnih kucať. 2002. godine, Kuca je zavrsena, a tokom godina mnoge aktivnosti za ljude Lipnice su inicirane, a ciljna grupa su takodjer bile zene, djeca i omladina. Rad se konstantno odvijao, cak i nakon sto su mnoge organizacije napustile ovo podrucje. Kroz Ship to Bosnia-u, i penzioneri su dobili podrsku, u obliku putovanja u Budimpestu, te nekoliko dana rekreacije i odmora u toplim, lijepim banjama.
Za ovaj rad, Leif Jansson je 2. oktobra, na 60. godisnjicu oslobodjenja Tuzle, dobio nagradu ŤPocasnog gradjanina Tuzleť zajedno sa americkim mirotvorcem Richardom Holbrookeom.
Jos uvijek Leifu i Ship to Bosnia-i ostaje proces primopredaje Kuce Solidarnosti lokalnoj upravi. Ideja je da ce Kuca i dalje biti multietnicko mjesto za sastajanje, seminare, konferencije, za radost i edukaciju, solidarnost i saradnju medju ljudima. Osim toga, postoji i potreba za jos opreme, a i neke promjene u radu moraju se napraviti. Dakle, Ship to Bosnia ima jos jedan zadatak ispred sebe.
Projekt, koji je poceo tokom surovog rata i koji je davao ljudima vjeru u bolju buducnost i suzivot zasluzuje i pocasno finale. Projekat ce ostati vjeran svom cilju i pruziti Kuci i ljudima u njoj sansu da nastavi svoju koegzistenciju i prosiri ideju solidarnosti i drugima.
