April is the month when everything starts to bloom. The sun is shining more and more often and it feels warm. April in Lviv, Ukraine was filled with wonderful moments that everyone remembered.
April has begun with a new project of special care for displaced families. The members of our social center visited large families who were forced to move as a result of the invasion of our country. Food packages were prepared for these families to make them happy at least a little bit in this difficult time (video).
There were also regular meetings of the “Green” Women’s Club for refugees. Here, displaced women have the opportunity to meet and communicate with those who have gone through the same experience. Sometimes, neighbors who lived next door to each other would come to the meetings.
For more than a year, the church has been providing clothing for those who left in a hurry and left behind everything they had. Every Tuesday and Friday, the girls help those in need with clothes, medications and personal hygiene items.
In the times we live in, it is important to know certain aspects that can save lives. For 2 days in a row, mine safety classes were held. We believe that those who took the time to attend did not regret it and took away a lot of useful tips that will help in the future (video)
The month ended with a wonderful and heartfelt meeting of the “Green” Women’s Club. Women shared their stories of what they experienced when they left their homes.
The woman whose photo is in the middle had a stroke 3 months ago. She said that their windows were broken and there were no doors in their house. She has been in Lviv since October. For 6 hours, doctors tried to bring her back to the life. The doctors managed to save her life, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the doctors were in tears. When she was unconscious, she remembers well that she was praying the Lord’s prayer. She realized that she did not understand anything here in life, because she could not even hold a spoon in her hands, because it was too heavy for her.
