Fastiv, 17-24.06.23

Praised be Jesus Christ.

The first days of the week we were in Kherson – this gave us the opportunity to open an additional kitchen, which, in particular, prepares dinners for the liquidators who came to help the city and the region from all over Ukraine. In total, our social kitchen gave out 3,674 meals during the week. On Tuesday. when we were leaving, there were explosions and it was a school, which is not far from where we were sleeping. In this school, humanitarian aid is distributed, unfortunately there are victims who should not have done anything, the Ostriv microdistrict is also being shelled, where the liquidators are cleaning, it is difficult to look at this barbarism. Despite this, residents do not lose heart and are full of hope for victory. We continue to repair houses in the village Zavody, Izyum district, at the moment 5 households are being restored for 6 we are waiting for the material. This time we took away windows, doors, ondulin and other building materials. The courage of fellow villagers is impressive, they single-handedly demined homesteads, planted vegetables, bought piglets, chickens, and ducks and in such a short time, people are rebuilding their lives little by little. Humanitarian aid were delivered to the forcibly displaced people in Nova Vodolaza, who are cared for by the New Generation NGO, as well as for palliative patients and victims of the city of Kharkiv. which are taken care of by the NGO Volunteer 68. This week, we provided 2,399 food sets of targeted aid in the scope of 17,175 kg of all humanitarian aid.

We could not help without the support of our Friends and Partners, we sincerely grateful for You for the solidarity and quick delivery of humanitarian aid from the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, the Government Agency of Strategic Reserves, this week we received 40 tons of humanitarian aid and 504 field mobile beds, which are already in the nearest days will be delivered by us to the affected Kherson region.
