Show your support for workers and their families in Ukraine

Prospect recently had the privilege of meeting with workers in Ukraine whose lives have been devastated as a result of the ongoing illegal war with Russia. Subsequently we have received an appeal from a high school in Kryvyi Rih, a city in central Ukraine.

The student population of the school is 800 but, due to severe and repeated attacks on the school’s buildings and ongoing frequent air raids, they currently have to conduct many classes from temporary shelters that can only accommodate 300 students.

To ensure that education from the shelter is both effective and comfortable, they are appealing for:

• Technology and Furniture for the Shelter: Laptops, printers, interactive whiteboards, standard whiteboards, and flipcharts.
• Sports Equipment: Volleyballs, footballs, basketballs, jump ropes, gymnastics mats, and stopwatches.
• Literature: Fiction and educational books for teenagers in German and English.

Equipment for extracurricular activities and leisure:  

• Portable speakers and microphones;
• Thermal hot water dispensers (to provide children with warm beverages during prolonged stays in the shelter);
• Educational and board games for teenagers.
