1. To send aid and encouragement directly to people in need. Humanitarian
aid is sent in 40-foot sea-going containers. Each container holds about 15 tons of goods. More than 75 of these
containers have been sent to various parts of the Former Soviet Union. The aid includes food, clothing, shoes, school
supplies, and medical supplies.
2. To offer help so that people can provide for themselves. This
includes providing bicycles which are a great help to travel to garden plots, among other things. Another program provides
pigs for villagers to allow them to take care of themselves and their families.
3. To encourage intercultural exchange and understanding. Volunteers
travel abroad to learn about the people and culture, to make friends, and to offer assistance to the communities. For
example, people had their eyes examined and received eyeglasses free of charge. Nurses, doctors, teachers, and others
visited Ukraine to offer friendship and service to the community.
