Why a Snowflake? Simple. A snowflake is innocent, unique, gentle and clean, just like the vast majority of us. A snowflake is a child's joy just like we all want to be joy and pride for our children because we did something for their future.

Croatian Hamed Bangoura started a non-violent Snowflake Revolution

Submitted By Nenad N. Bach | Published 11/26/2012 | Croatian Heroes , Human Rights , Politics , History , Friends In Action , Events , Education | Unrated
Brian Gallagher: Certainly there were those outside Croatia who also supported the generals. I will single out here the former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, Robin Harris.
