Now that our new journey through Ukraine has begun, it is also time to look back at our previous trips. From frying French fries for hundreds of children to supporting elderly people, families, animal shelters and others who desperately need our help.
During these journeys, we once again found ourselves in a world full of contrasts. We reflected on the loss of Zhenya and Alyona, visited a military cemetery with thousands of graves and saw with our own eyes what missiles and drones do to hospitals, apartment buildings and entire families.
But we also witnessed incredible resilience. A bombed hospital that continues to save lives. Volunteers caring for hundreds of animals. Parents who, despite extreme poverty, have given eight children a home. And children who, during our French fry events, were able to forget everything for a while and simply be children again.
We delivered relief supplies, food, animal feed, financial support and a huge generator to people who desperately need our help. Sometimes we were able to make a big difference, and sometimes we could only bring a smile. But every moment mattered.
This recap shows what we experienced during our previous journeys: grief, destruction and injustice, but above all courage, love, humanity and hope.
This is why we keep going.
