A few days after the Russian attack on Ukraine we started a project to send medical aid to them.
We got lists of needed medical equipment from hospitals in Lviv via the Rotary Club in Lviv. We donated money to the project and contacted other Rotary clubs in Latvia and Sweden as well as different companies and asked them to donate money, so far (27th of April) we have collected
EUR 200 000 !
We went through the lists to find out what was realistic to deliver from Latvia, negotiated with vendors and shipped the equipment as the money came in.
We have so far got donations of 200 000 euros from members, companies, ziedot.lv, other rotary clubs as well as individuals. This is nothing short of amazing!
Thanks a lot to all who have contributed.
So far we have done 5 shipments to Ukraine. What we have delivered is mostly medicines for treatment of wounded soldiers and civilians and first aid kits suitable for war situations.
As more money is comig in we can plan for more deliveries.
Here is a Thank You from Ukraine:
