🇺🇦 Ukrainian Heritage. Build Community

Today, I volunteered at Kitty Pechersk in Kyiv, Ukraine, where I learned about Maria Prymachenko🎨 (1909-1997), a renowned Ukrainian folk artist, whose vibrant folk art is a powerful symbol of Ukrainian resilience. I then joined local Ukrainians in helping prepare materials for camouflage nets for the soldiers on the frontline.

🌅New day, new hope. 🇺🇦

🚨The pre-dawn silence on the bus from Poland to Kyiv was shattered by air raid sirens. A chilling reminder of the ongoing threat faced by innocent Ukrainians. This is terrorism, a blatant violation of international law.

🌻Like many, I'll go about my day, finding normalcy amidst the chaos. These actions speak louder than fear.🇺🇦

🌅Witnessing the first sunrise of my humanitarian trip in #Ukraine brought a moment of #peace. I share it with you and wish everyone a good day.

🇵🇱🇺🇦Update from #Poland Heading for #Ukraine!

As I write, it's evening on the bus heading east. It's a quiet ride, filled with families and older adults. I can only imagine the worry and strength it takes for these families to navigate this difficult time.

By tomorrow afternoon, I'll be in Kyiv, humbled by the opportunity to contribute in some small way with local humanitarian groups. Then, it's on to Kherson to continue supporting those in need🌻

Wishing everyone a good night🙏🏽
