Dear friends,
Herbert, Jörg, Michael and myself visited father Jan in the Ukraine together with Robert and
his son Cuba from Friday and came back today.
We flew to Krakow in Poland and took a van to Ternipol where the monastery is where father Jan lives presently. There we had the opportunity to visit, our Rotarian“ ambulance car we organized for them two years ago and they still use to transport wounded soldiers from the war border towards the west.
Additionally we talked to the people working in the hospital how the situation is impacting everybody and what is needed the most.
All this could not have happed without your support. So thanks again.
We visited also a home for handicapped children as well a home for children without parents and brought them sweets. You should have seen the smiling eyes ❤.
Also we had the chance to visit the Rotary Club Lviv International and had a wonderful exchange. We had lunch together and visited a local brewery.
Another project which is just coming up is a new rehabilitation center and we could see the plans from the architect and the land where everything should be build.
Of course we want to support father Jan and the Franziskaner further and we are planning a big truck to go to the Ukraine in November with food, sanitary products, medicine, some sweets and games for the children for Christmas and so on.
This is just a small update that you know what is going on. Despite that we have been in a country which is in war we had a wonderful time with a lot of thankful and cheerful moments. and Vodka.
Hope you all are well and we we will have the possibility to meet again soon.
Greetings from RC Mühlacker-Enzkreis, Marc.

URGENT:
The German Rotarians are planning a big truck to go to the Ukraine in November with food, sanitary products, medicine, some sweets and games for the children for Christmas and so on.
I am going to Germany on November 2 and will meet with Rotarian Joerg Schuele.
For anyone who wants to help purchase some of the sweets and games for the Ukrainian children, please send me your contribution by Zelle (8479099072) or Venmo (@rrivkin) or find me in person no later than Tuesday October 28. Sorry, I will not be at the October 28 meeting due to a family commitment.
