“In Chernihiv, schools and kindergartens were damaged by explosions. They need to be restored, but it is equally important to convert the basements into bomb shelters so that children can wait out air raids under normal conditions. The Angels of Freedom public foundation not only collects donations for this good cause, but also gives in gratitude amulets, motanka dolls made by the hands of volunteers at cleanup events in different cities of Kazakhstan.”

“In Kazakhstan there’s a tradition of mutual support — Asar, in Ukraine it’s called Toloka. The Angels of Freedom foundation is making tolokas in Astana, Almaty and other cities of Kazakhstan. Toloka is an event where volunteers make motanka dolls, which are given for donations at offline and online markets. Collected funds are used to help Ukrainian children, precisely for schools’ and kindergartens’ basements arrangement and equipment in Chernihiv. Children go down to basements during air alert.”

The idea to tell the story of the Crimean Tatars’ forced self-deportation came from the Kazakh journalist Ainur Koskina during one of the “Angels of Freedom” tolokas.

“‘Now children will be able to breathe normally: Kazakhstan volunteers have equipped shelters in two more kindergartens in the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv.”

“The charitable foundation reported that following the results of the run, three residents of the West Kazakhstan region came second at distances of one and five kilometers. David and Anushavan ran together. They covered one kilometer in six minutes and 15 seconds. Aktobe resident Maxim ran five kilometers in 24 minutes and 7 seconds. Among the participants there were children, namely three young residents of Atyrau.”

“On August 27, the ‘Vyshyvanka’ run starts for amateur and professional athletes. Wearing Ukrainian vyshyvankas, they must overcome the chosen one of the three proposed distances.”

“The donations raised for participation will be used to equip bomb shelters in schools in Ukraine.”

“The renovation of school’s No. 6 shelter in Chernihiv is completed with the help of Belgian monks and volunteers from Kazakhstan. In early April school has started working offline on the daily basis.”

“A Belgian monk, volunteers from Kazakhstan and Ukrainian refugees: all these people helped equipping a shelter in Chernihiv school No. 6. After more than a year time off, primary school pupils were able to sit at their desks again because of this help

The shelter was re-equipped from a basement by Angels of Freedom charity project.”

“On April 7–8 schoolchildren and students developed a digital tool to collect donations for the Angels of Freedom foundation at the International Technopark Astana Hub.”

“September 1 for Ukrainian children is April 3 — schools opened their doors for the first time this academic year and launched offline learning. The Kazakhstan charity project ‘Angels of Freedom’ was engaged in equipping the bomb shelters.”
