The meeting culminated in a closing ritual under a bright rainbow parachute. The children took turns voicing their dreams. Among the expected children’s desires – ‘a new doll’, ‘an anti-stress toy’ – there were also words that are hard to leave without tears: “l want peace to come…’ “I want the war to end and my dad to come back. I miss him…” “I miss playing with my godfather, who is now at war…’ “I want my mum to come back from the clouds… She died under fire.”These simple, sincere phrases reveal the deep emotional reality of children whose childhood is accompanied by sirens and a sense of loss. Their eyes – big, open, trusting – say more than words. Their dreams are of adults beyond their years.   This meeting is just one of many held with the support of donors. But each such event is a chance for a child not to be left alone with fear, and for parents to gain knowledge and support that helps them build an internal resource to overcome the consequences of traumatic events

We hear a sound in the sky — and now we know how to act. In October, members of our team completed the course “Short-Range Drone Awareness & Countermeasures Training” organized by SAFER ACCESS Ukraine. During the training, we learned how to recognize aerial threats and practiced counteraction methods — both without special equipment and using technical tools. The training day was intense: we attended insightful lectures, took part in practical exercises, honed our quick responses, and strengthened our teamwork. It was an important and valuable experience for our team, which provides assistance in high-risk areas. The knowledge and practical skills we gained allow us to feel much more confident during mobile clinic missions. After all, understanding potential threats and knowing how to respond appropriately greatly increases the chances of keeping ourselves — and our team — safe. A big thank you to our partners @nonviolentpeaceforce and the organizers @safer_access_ukraine for helping us strengthen our field readiness!

The majority of patients at our mobile clinics are people with chronic illnesses who rely on regular medication to survive. In the regions where we operate, there are no pharmacies, so patients depend entirely on mobile healthcare services.  Moreover, not all the medications required by patients with chronic illnesses are covered by the “Affordable Medicines” state program. In such conditions, mobile clinics become a lifeline — often the only chance for people to receive both medical consultations and essential medications. Thanks to the support of the Netherlands Refugee Foundation Stichting Vluchteling, we were able to carry out a transparent, needs-based procurement of medicines in full compliance with quality standards. This enables us to provide uninterrupted treatment to patients for whom even a few days without medication can lead to serious consequences.   Every day, we witness how lives change after a visit from our clinic. Together, we restore health and renew hope through the SV&PAL-UA Mobile/Remote Care Project.
