Thank you very much for your support.
Within hours of hearing the news on February 24th, our old work van was half filled with food, and by the end of the day there were about 12 extra matresses squeezed in there too.
The team in the village has been working 6 days a week to get the dorms ready. Once the heating system has been finalized, we'll start hosting.
In the mean time, we've been working with a Canadian charity to deliver meals to the border, supplies to hospitals and refugee centers, and soon meals to train passengers as they transit Moldova. They may want us to assemble and deliver weekly boxes of food and hygiene items to refugees who aren't staying in one of the big centers. According to the news this is a significant group, possibly 60-70% of all refugees. Fortunately we've been delivering boxes of fresh produce around the city the last years, so scaling that up isn't unrealistic.
We met with all our gardeners from the village last weekend to choose and distribute seeds. They already started seedlings in their greenhouses, 2-3 times more than in years past.
Next steps will be preparing the kitchen for packing hundreds of boxes per day, and reconfiguring the conference room to run vocational programs.
Stay warm,
David
