For several weeks we have been hosting a new volunteer in Krzyżowa. It is Berkan Bayçinar from Turkey. You will get to know him better by reading his self-presentation, which we publish below.

We are very happy that Barkan is with us and we wish him that the time he will spend in Krzyżowa be creative, interesting and full of good experiences.

Since 6 March, the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe has been qualified by the Lower Silesian Governor and the Świdnica Municipality as an emergency accommodation for refugees from Ukraine.

Many families came to Krzyżowa last weekend. At the moment, we are accommodating nearly 100 people who declare their willingness to stay in our centre for a longer period of time. Most of them are children and youth. The youngest child who came to Krzyżowa with his parents was only 7 days old when he arrived.

Thanks to the support of the provincial government, we can cover part of the costs of the stay of families from Ukraine from a special budget. However, the needs are much greater. People who come to us often have very little with them. Families need everything - clothes, hygiene products, medicines.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affects all of us. The war is taking place in the middle of Europe and has forced several hundred thousand people to flee their homes so far. The majority of them is seeking refuge in Poland. Krzyżowa is hosting refugees, too.

Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe is receiving refugees. Mainly accompanied children and youngsters, as well as women with children, will be hosted. Krzyżowa is also open to people working in its partner organisation, former volunteers and their families. The kindergarten and the educators are working on care arrangements and educational activities.

In the March-April newsletter of our partner institution - Evangelische Akademie zu Berlin, you can read the statement of Dominik Kretschmann, head of the Memorial Site of the Krzyżowa Foundation. Its subject is primarily the Ukrainian-Russian war, Dominik Kretschmann talks about it in the form of answers to questions about what is moving him at the moment, what is worth arguing about and what literature to read.
