On November 26, 2019, the Albanian Manufacturers Union built the first canteen in Thumane with a capacity of 400 people to provide the affected families with hot food cooked on site for the next day.
We thank the Albanian producers who contributed to the construction of this space.
Once again, we express our condolences to the victims of this disaster and we hope that this is the end of it. We will continue to offer our help in other ways as well.

On the second day in the Thumane emergency camp, in the canteen built by the Albanian Manufacturers Union, where Mr. Bledar Kola, one of the most popular cooks in our country, together with his staff, has given his contribution today by preparing hot meals for the residents of the area.
The family members of Thumane are going through very difficult days, everyone’s solidarity is needed to help these residents get through this dark period as easily as possible!

On the last (fourth) day of the first phase of our contribution to help the residents of Thumane. We hope that we have been a help in this difficult period for every family there. We thank you for the great support of all the members of the Albanian Manufacturers Union who made this possible, Bledar Kola and his chef friends, Arditi and Klajdi, who joined our initiative by cooking several days in a row without getting tired. We thank you the Armed Forces who assisted usand helped during the preparation and construction of the tent and for which we should all be proud as they undoubtedly remain the best part of this place. A special thanks to Mentor Kikia and his volunteers, as well as Don Enzo Zago and the Parish of Blinishti for their tireless volunteer work. We are temporarily separated from Thumana to return to the second phase of reconstruction after the evaluation process and the drafting of the reconstruction plan for the area are completed. The Albanian Manufacturers Union and its members will continue to remain engaged and attentive to any immediate needs that residents will present during these days until the situation stabilizes.
