1. Reconstruction / Rehabilitation
The weekly updated rehabilitation list was presented

will be updated and attached to the minutes, following feedback from the
German Embassy on their support to school rehabilitation in Tetovo.
The rehabilitation of the old school in Arachinovo is almost finished
by Solidarites. Italian Cooperation is interested in conducting the rehabilitation
of the new school in Arachinovo.
Solidarites have already begun the rehabilitation of the school in Neprosteno.
USAID are planning to replace the windows in the Slatino school.
CRS have done the assessment of the school in Jegunovce village. They
are committed to replace of the school windows. Since USAID are also interested
in working on the school in Jegunovce they will agree bilaterally about
their future activities.
World Vision requested that UNICEF supply a letter of confirmation stating
that no other donors attending the coordination meetings are interested
in carrying out the rehabilitation of the schools in Opae and Rzanovce.

rehabilitation by the end of the week and they will inform on the next
meeting.
The updated rehabilitation list will be attached to the minutes.
2. Other Educational Programmes
UNICEF proposed that all agencies interested in implementing programmes
about peace building, tolerance, stress and trauma to inform at the next

UNHCR approved few projects. Training for teachers about trauma and stress
will start next week. The main aim is to aid teachers in dealing with

World Vision is interested in similar programmes but they will provide
more precise data on the next meeting.
CRS are interested in continuing with their pilot programme-supporting
the needs of the children, building relationships between communities.
