3. ALBANIAN CHILDREN FOUNDATION “Domenick Scaglione” Back in 1996, when “Domenick Scaglione” for the first time visited Albania, the condition of the poor, needy and sick Albanian children was dramatic. Together with representatives of various religions, people from the business community and the diplomatic corps a charity organization was established to help whenever and whoever it was possible - this is how the Albanian Children Foundation was born. The mission of the Foundation is to help children in need irrespective of faith or ethnic background and to support institutions which assist such children. The Foundation is only supported by private donation and the members of the board, mainly young Albanian professionals, work on pro bono basis. Mrs. Liri Berisha is President of the Foundation as of November 2006. 3
