EDITORS COMMENTS
Sally Becker, the courageous British aid worker and true heroine, is captured in this heartfelt print at her home in Hove, Sussex on September 19th, 1994. Sally's unwavering dedication led her to remain in war-torn former Yugoslavia even after assisting with vital aid convoys for the Medjugorje Appeal charity based in Surrey. Renowned as the 'Angel of Mostar, ' Sally earned this title by fearlessly venturing into the battle-scarred city alone and rescuing countless wounded children trapped amidst chaos and destruction. Her selfless acts of bravery resonated deeply with all who witnessed them. In this snapshot frozen in time from the 1990s, we see Sally taking a momentary pause from her tireless efforts. A cigarette rests between her fingers as she reflects upon the immense challenges faced by those affected by conflict. The smoke swirls around her like a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. Sally's remarkable story serves as an inspiration to us all – a testament to human compassion and determination. She embodies the spirit of volunteerism and reminds us that even amid darkness, there are individuals willing to risk everything for others' well-being. This poignant image captures not only Sally's strength but also represents countless volunteers and workers who dedicated themselves to alleviating suffering during those turbulent times in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It stands as a tribute to their invaluable contributions towards peace-building efforts.
