Ukraine

Sept 2025 – April 2026

This school year, I’ll be living in Kazanka, Ukraine, working with dear Swedish and Ukrainian friends assembling stoves for Ukrainian families & facilitating conversational English classes with Ukrainian children and teachers.

only a drop

One of my friends reminds me often:

“Each of us is only a drop of water, but together, we make a difference.”

I’m so grateful for all the water drops that have come together to bring this project to life. From friends in Australia and Sweden knitting beanies and socks, and Ukrainian and Swedish volunteers donating their time to collect, deliver, and distribute supplies, to generous donors from around the world sending financial support. Together we can ease suffering and affirm solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine in their fight for freedom and the security of their families, communities, and country.

Together, we can make a difference.
