Nova Ukraine continues to provide humanitarian aid to vulnerable groups in Ukraine. Many small towns and villages are on the border of the military conflict in Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. For the third year in a row, Nova Ukraine has been helping people in one of these small villages, namely the village of Chermalyk in the Donetsk region. The provided humanitarian aid includes clothes, shoes, baby food, and diapers for the elderly. Also, for the second ye...ar in a row, we help dress high school graduates for their graduation and provide first-graders with the necessary school supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, etc) for the new school year. This year, Nova Ukraine has allocated a $5,000 grant to improve the school's learning conditions and give more opportunities to students to learn. One part of the grant was used to improve the overall learning conditions of students. School purchased furniture for classrooms for the first-grade students and special furniture for the chemistry room to store chemicals and lab equipment. The other part of the grant was used to provide students with better learning opportunities. School equipped their computer room with laptops and accessories so that students can have access to learning resources on the Internet. The furniture has been ordered already and the school is waiting for them now. The laptops for the computer room and the TV for the first-grade classroom were received and set up. We wanted to thank our donors that continue supporting Nova Ukraine and our volunteers for their time and dedication!
