Leonid Rutkovsky, Country Director of ADRA Ukraine, expressed his gratitude to ADRA’s partners, including governments of many countries, as well as UN humanitarian organizations and other partners. He said that today the team of the Ukrainian ADRA office has seven offices, seven large warehouses of humanitarian aid, 325 employees and several hundred volunteers, who are implementing 18 powerful humanitarian projects in different parts of Ukraine.
During the concert, representatives of the ADRA Ukraine team, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and other charitable organizations also addressed the audience, explaining the importance of the humanitarian mission in this difficult time for the country.
The event raised UAH 110,000. These funds will be used to buy firewood for the residents of Kherson Region to help them survive the winter period, as the residents of this Region cannot collect firewood to heat their homes in the mined forests. ADRA Ukraine’s hotline has received numerous requests for such assistance from residents of Kherson Region.
