Our collaboration with the Cherkasy Regional Library commenced with the start of the war in Ukraine in 2022.\u00a0The capital, Kyiv, and border regions were the first to come under attack, and were subjected to enormous shelling. Many residents of these areas sought refuge in Cherkasy region, an area with a relatively higher degree of security, and we have focused on that region as one of our primary on-ground work to help Ukrainians.<\/p>\n

We are currently working in the villages of Garbuzyn<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Ivangorod<\/a><\/strong>, and\u00a0Valyava<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ukraine Little Book Houses Fundraiser<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

We’re building library housed book spaces, consisting of handcrafted book houses and collections of children books. These spaces, designed by local Ukrainian artisans, will provide safe havens for children to read, learn, and dream. Your donation will contribute to the construction of these houses as well as filling them with children’s books. We have phased goals, starting with Cherkasy and expanding to Kyiv and other regions.<\/p>\n
