Doing good through music: The Ukrainian children's music group "Veselka" held a benefit concert on July 11th at the Mehringdamm Family Center in Berlin under the motto "From Heart to Heart". The aim was to collect donations for needy children in Ukraine – a total of almost 1,000 euros was raised.
With the funds, Ukraine-Hilfe Berlin supported a summer camp for 120 children from July 14th to 18th in the Kirovohrad region. Many of the children come from difficult social circumstances, from foster families, or are internally displaced. The children experienced five days full of workshops, sports, and community time. There were snacks, drinks, hot meals, and small gifts – a taste of childhood amidst the daily realities of war.
As part of our humanitarian aid efforts, three more shipments have arrived in Ukraine. We have handed over 130 walking aids to our partner organization Initiative E+ in Kyiv.
Furthermore, a delivery containing five boxes of laundry detergent and hygiene products arrived at the nursing home in Tutschyn near Rivne. We also sent the facility art supplies to bring some color and creativity into the residents' daily lives.
Furthermore, we were able to help young patients in a hospital in Kyiv with emergency backpacks and arts and crafts supplies. The backpacks contain everything the children need when seeking refuge in shelters from Russian air raids.
Ukraine Aid Berlin thanks all participants in the concert as well as the donors for their continued support and solidarity.
