“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.”
“On 3 April 2023, two schools in Chernihiv for which the bomb shelters have been equipped by the Kazakhstani charity project Angels of Freedom, opened their doors for the first time in this school years and started the offline lessons.”
“The charity project Angels of Freedom came to life in early June 2023 and now focuses on schools destroyed during the war.”
“To raise funds necessary for reconstruction of destroyed schools, the project’s founders decided to organize “tolokas” which are a traditional form of mutual aid in Ukrainian communities.”
“Kazakhstanis are also involved in creative projects — like making “angels of freedom” — little amulets. The funds raised from the amulets’ sales are used for restoration of Ukrainian schools.”
“The Kazakhstanis joined an international charity action which traditionally takes place on the Ukraine’s Independence Day. This time, the Kazakhstanis have combined participation in the run with charity purpose to help Ukrainians who suffered from the war.”
“The Kazakstani volunteers aim to restore one of the schools in Chernihiv from the Kazakhstani people. The funds are raised through the Angels of Freedom, the world-wide project to which the Kazakhstani people decided to join. Caring volunteers and children get together twice a week to make little hand-made souvenirs.”
