Helping residents of Kharkiv
These are some of the faces of Kharkiv, Ukraine who could not flee when the Russians came; they stayed instead to care for their animals.

Beauty in the chaos
You may know from our recent post that we are planning another trip to Ukraine. This time we target the East of Ukraine to deliver animal supplies to as many shelters as we can - the intention is to get to Kharkiv, Dnipro and other places in the Donbass region.
