There were many lovely people who presented songs/poems and told us their story. We also had two presentations about Trench Candles by Anastasia Smetanyuk and Camouflage Nets for the soldiers by Svitlana Boyko.
The trench candles are very importand for the soldiers fighting in the Ukraine for their country, but even more importandly, for their lives. These Candles help them to keep warm and not get recognized by the enemy.
The camouflage nets are made by volunteers and help the soldiers to cover dugouts, trenches, and equipment. The materials are financed through donations and by selling various handmades.
If you would like to support these projects please contact them under:
