Anne Since February 2023, Bracelets and Peace has been helping four orphanages near Mukachevo, in western Ukraine. We have been helping to send clothes, stuff for school and even food. The wonderful Mariya Pleskanka delivers the aid we send and buys the medicines and nappies with the donations.
Thanks to Halyna Klevan and the team of drivers who take parcels every week from Santander, Spain to the Ukrainian border, we have been able to send over a hundred parcels.
The donations come from many kind individuals and local families, as well as the wonderful students at Colegio Sagrada Familia.
