This private old people’s home takes care of 22 elderly men and women aged between 70 to 100 years. Most of them are wheelchair bound and bedridden and there was a need for food and fresh vegetables. The team will visit them again to provide some fresh vegetables in need.
The team also met the representative from the mayor office of Dorohoi and discussed providing food to a local dog shelter which takes care of more than 200 dogs.
The washers are installed at the Chernivtsi Regional Psychiatric Hospital.
ACT 4 Ukraine sent off another lorry from the UK. The lorry carried 29 pallets full of food, medicines, medical equipment such as wheelchairs and other essential aid items. All goods were either donated or paid for by donations. The lorry was received at our hub in Romania by a team of volunteers, amongst which 6 members of the Mohanji Youth Club. The Mohanji Youth Club members helped distribute these items in Ukraine.
These young people were very enthusiastic to help distribute the aid items in Ukraine and to reach out the displaced by running various workshops such as yoga, play sessions and art classes.
The “The Compassion Van” had its first ride into Ukraine. Gratitude was the main expression wherever the Compassion Van showed up, from recipients of the goods as well as the volunteers.
