People in Kharkiv and Ichnya, Ukraine, are struggling with the effects of war. Under challenging circumstances, they prepare for Christmas. Bishop Pavlo Shvarts reminds people to look towards the light.
While cities in Ukraine are being shelled day and night, LWF renovates school basements in Ichnya and Bobrovytsia to serve as bomb shelters. This is to make schools safe again for students to attend in person.
LWF expands its refugee response in Poland into the areas of protection, social cohesion, and education. A workshop on community based psychosocial support equipped Ukrainian refugee staff from around the country for the new tasks.
