Während sich die humanitäre Krise in der Ukraine verschärft, bietet unser Team von Mitarbeitern und ehrenamtlichen Helfern in Lviv der wachsenden Zahl von Flüchtlingen, die auf ihrem Weg zur Grenze in die Region kommen, weiterhin Unterkunft, Transport und Unterstützung. Unsere Priorität sind Kinder, und die meisten der Flüchtlingsfamilien, denen wir helfen, sind Mütter, die allein mit kleinen Kindern unterwegs sind.

Wie wir Flüchtlingen in der Ukraine und in Deutschland mit Nahrung, Unterkunft und Flucht aus Kriegsgebieten in der Ukraine helfen. Die erste Mutter und zwei Kinder kamen am Dienstag um Mitternacht in München an. Als sie aus dem Zug ausstiegen, fragte die jüngere Tochter ihre Mutter: "Niemand schießt hier auf uns?“ Spenden helfen vielen anderen, sich in Sicherheit zu bringen.

Unzählige Flüchtende strömen nach Lviv, um den Kampfhandlungen in der ganzen Ukraine zu entkommen. Die Not ist enorm und wir sind da und helfen. Die Spenden, die uns bereits erreicht haben, ermöglichen es unserem Team vor Ort, den Menschen, die nach Lviv geflüchtet sind, gezielt zu helfen und das Team in Starnberg bereiten sich darauf vor, dort Flüchtlinge aufzunehmen.

Angela is one of 39 children and young people who receive the personal support of a mentor or tutor in our Guardian Angel programme. With her mentor’s help, Angela is getting higher grades in college then she ever thought possible. Her mentor has noticed that Angela has become more motivated to do well in her studies, more confident and mature, and they have developed a wonderful friendship.

At our two-day School of Independent Living camp, young people who are in care or in “families in crisis” developed skills that many employers look for. These 21st Century Skills include public speaking, problem solving and emotional intelligence. An exciting line up of coaches and volunteers led workshops. Angela says "Thank you for the opportunity to develop as individuals!"

In this article you can meet some of the people in Ukraine whose lives are better because of sponsorship: from Oksana who is inspired to help children because we helped her through a difficult time, to Nadia who needs help to achieve her dream to be a vet. 45 children in Ukraine and 22 children in Malawi benefit from Sponsorship with Care in Action.

A fun event to engage with Ukrainian art and culture was brought to 25 disadvantaged young people in Lviv, where the Veselovsky family showed their talents and got everyone involved in music, painting and making traditional Motanka dolls.

140 children and adults from 18 foster families came together for our two four-day Family Camps. There were specialised activities for every age group, bringing both learning and development and lots of fun! While staff and volunteers engaged the children with drama, health and safety and games, parents learned skills they need for fostering from Child Psychologists.

Our camp taught media literacy skills to 25 teenagers who are fostered or have difficult circumstances at home. Over two days the young people learned essential skills for our digital world: critical thinking, understanding information bubbles, and how to create own quality content. We want to thank our charismatic speakers, volunteers and donors for making this possible!
