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 160 containers have been sent to various parts of Ukraine. 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.
