We are happy to announce that this week we have started Polish language classes for our guests from Ukraine. All interested persons 4 times a week take part in two-hour lessons. We have also purchased textbooks and workbooks that can be used by the refugees. Learning Polish is definitely an important step towards independence for the families living with us and we are happy that so many people take advantage of this intensive course.
We invariably support our guests in all official and living matters. Thanks to donations and financial support, we provide the families with food, hygiene and chemical products as well as medication
Afternoon activities for children and young people take place continuously in our centre. Our young guests love all kinds of sports activities. That is why, when the weather permits, they not only play football but also ride bicycles and scooters.
At Krzyżowa, more and more educational projects are now being carried out by our team. We continue to receive various signals and gestures of kindness from the participants of these events towards our guests from Ukraine. We are especially touched by the sensitivity and willingness to help of the participants of school exchanges, about which we have already written many times. In a separate post we will write, for example, about what a group of students from Paderborn and Tczew recently came with and how this gift was used to create a Polish-German-Ukrainian friendship.
Krzyżowa has become a permanent or temporary shelter for many families fleeing the war in Ukraine. Our centre has about 100 places occupied at all the time, although there are many more people who have stayed at the Foundation. Some of our guests have become independent and found flats, others have rested, gathered strength and moved on. A large group found the Foundation to be a safe shelter for a longer period of time. We help all of these people, thanks to the great commitment of our team and, above all, the support of our donors - companies, institutions and individuals, who in many ways help us to continue this aid.
We know that the situation in Ukraine is very difficult, so we want to ensure the safety of our guests for as long as it takes. That is why we continue to ask for your financial support. We would like to remind you that together with our partners from Germany: Kreisau-Initiative e. V. and Freya von Moltke Foundation for Krzyżowa - as well as the team of International Chamber Music Festival Krzyżowa-Music, we are collecting donations for Ukrainian refugees in Krzyżowa.
