Sending Out Smiles.

Sending Out Smiles. Sending Out Smiles (SOS) is a small (Very small) NGO that collects and
delivers humanitarian aid to the Convent of St Vincent de Paul in Gramsh Albania.

We are also involved with the AlbaniAid organisation based in Sheffield. I spent many years driving HGVs around UK and across Europe. Co-founder of the 'Sending Out Smiles' (SOS)organisation in 1990 sending over 80 Humanitarian Aid vehicles (mainly Articulated lorries) to Eastern Europe after the fall of Ceausescu the Romanian dictator. We were also in Bulgaria and Kosova during and after the Bosn

ian crisis. In 2004 I volunteered to the 'National Police Aid Convoys' and drove and worked with them till 2013 in Bulgaria and Albania when I was asked to help set up the 'AlbaniAid' group. I retired in 2014. My wife and I now collect and deliverer Aid privately to a convent, hospital and nursery in Gramsh central Albania having rekindled the old 'SOS' banner and using a variety of vehicles.

Hello world. Six months of waiting for the new UK government paperwork to be approved allowing AlbaniAid to export aid to Albania is almost over. If all goes well AlbaniAid will be loading a lorry on Tuesday 5th July and sending it on it's way. Sending Out Smiles is proud to be assisting with this endeavour.

Good morning. Although the COVID19 situation (like so many organisations) has badly hit the sending of aid to Albania since 2019, making the AlbaniAid Christmas lorry having to be postponed, it is hoped that a lorry will depart the UK on 21st February. Bound for the northern villages near Lezha and the Convent in Gramsh, central Albania. Thank you to the AlbaniAid organisation for your help in this and to everyone who has continued to support the work.
