Today (24.02.2022) Russia attacked Ukraine, our Neighbours, Friends, Co-workers and Associates, Families of people who are dear to us. We are shocked and moved by this situation.

We are also thinking of our Friends, Partners in Russia, who are working for peace, but live in a country that is conducting a war. We remember our Friends in Belarus, who look on with dismay as their country collaborates in this aggression. We think of the citizens of those societies who want peaceful coexistence, freedom and independence, but find themselves faced with war.

We feel powerless when confronted with such unjustified aggression. And we want to help. How?

  • Humanitarian organisations are already mobilising support for Ukraine and advising how to wisely support the country's citizens: medical equipment, personal protective equipment, support for children affected by the war are all needed. Fundraising for the inhabitants of the most endangered regions has been launched. Information can be found, among others, here:

Polskie Centrum Pomocy Międzynarodowej 
Fundacja Pomagam.pl
Polska Akcja Humanitarna (PAH)

  • We should look for trustworthy information - disinformation is also a tool of war. When we see suspicious posts, unreliable reports and videos, let's not pass them on, let's not like them. This will limit their reach. We should also explain to others, especially children and young people, what fake news is and tell them how to verify information. 

  • At home and at school, we should make children and young people aware of the situation in Ukraine - many of their friends have families there, and they are certainly living under enormous stress. Let us be sensitive to their needs and emotions. 

Let us help as much as we can, let us express solidarity, but above all, let us not be indifferent!
