We have all seen the images and stories about the conflict currently taking place in Ukraine. It’s extremely hard to comprehend what people living in conflict must be going through.
Our administrative lead, Maria Rogalska (Keyworth) has taken it upon herself to help people in need in Ukraine and Poland by raising food, clothes and medical supplies. Maria still has family and friends living in/near the conflict zone and she has shown great resolve in her effort.
“The whole situation has been extremely upsetting for me for various reasons: I grew up in Poland with Ukrainian community, I have friends in Ukraine but also my parents live only 10 miles away from the Ukrainian border. I can’t be there to help my fellow Slavs, but I’ve decided to do whatever I can from here”.
We all hope the situation ends soon and peace is restored. In the meantime, we need more people like Maria raising awareness and doing what they can to help.
