Irpin, Bucza, Hostomel … The scale of the incredible atrocities committed there is striking. The roads on which the Russians entered Ukraine from the north are roads of death, evoking among the Rwandans the worst memories of the genocide from which their country is still healing its wounds. Despite two such different and distant worlds, Rwandans feel strongly about what is now happening in Ukraine, emphasising the similarity of their flags, as if the experiences of both peoples and their dreams of peace were inscribed in them.
“Today this dream has only two colours for me,” says Louise, a patient at our Rwandan hospice, adding blue and yellow threads to a basket woven from straw.
Although her hands are still not fully functional, as a result of an accident that confined her to bed for a long time, thanks to your support and funded physiotherapy exercises, today Louise is trying to see how she gets on without any help.
” These baskets, they are baskets of love. I put my heart and thoughts into them for every Ukrainian family that is suffering right now. This is the only way I can show my solidarity and unity with them.” Louise explains to us.
These small yet GREAT gestures are the best proof that today, regardless of where we are in the world, we all share the same desire – PEACE. Thanks to the eruption of GOOD, your GOOD, since the first moments of the war, we have been bringing concrete help to those affected. You have already helped thousands of refugees in the border zone. You have given a helping hand to civilians who would not have survived without constant supplies of food. You have taken care of children evacuated from the orphanage in Zhytomyr. Further supplies of food and basic necessities are on their way to Kyiv and Chernihiv. Our partners will also take them to Bucza and Irpin. We want the people who survived hell to have at least a small taste of Easter.
Thank you for your trust. Without you we would not have been able to do anything! The needs are still many and we cannot slow down. We must never get used to this war!
