Hazel Hendry is a remarkable woman. She worked tirelessly raising
money for charities, and particularly for TEARFUND, including
walking the form of a cross from John Oa Groats to Lands End and
from Ramsgate to Fishguard in Wales. When the Croatian War began,
the founder of TEARFUND, George Hoffman, told her, a Hazel, the
people of Croatia need your helpa . So she raised money to send
over 50 lorries, full of much needed supplies of food, furniture,
medical equipment and toiletries, into Croatia. She travelled
personally with many of them during and after the war. Hazel
delivered aid right to the Front Line risking her life to help
people who had lost their homes, livelihoods, and families. This
book is about her experiences during those dangerous years, and the
people who helped her and those that she helped. It is based on
journals which she kept at the time and later recollections of
particular people and events. As such, it is a vivid account of how
the Croations in the War Zone suffered at the hands of the Chetniks
who would attack their villages while leaving neighbouring villages
in Croatia where Serbs lived unscathed. Some of the details that
she recalls are not for the squeamish, but the way in which her
faith supported her throughout this period shines through on every
page.
