Café Ukraїna #22

Dear friends of Ukraine!

After a short summer break, we are very happy to invite you once again to the August Café Ukraїna meetup, which will take place on August 21 at the Leipzig branch of the Polish Institute Berlin.

On the occasion of Ukraine’s Independence Day – a day that celebrates the resilience of the Ukrainian people – we are pleased to invite you to an online meeting where you will have the opportunity to meet the volunteer teams of Pickup4Ukraine e.V. and the Kyiv-based charity foundation Khid Yurystiv.

The meeting will feature volunteer and foundation co-founder Nadiia Yermiychuk, as well as volunteers and founders of Pickup4Ukraine e.V. in Germany, Michael Sylvester and Dr. Annette Ernstsperger.

Nadiia, Annette, and Michael have been working together since 2023. During this time, more than 100 vehicles have been delivered to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, the volunteers have delivered a significant amount of humanitarian aid, including medical equipment and other essential supplies.

During the conversation, they will share their experiences of volunteering, talk about the challenges they face in their work, and discuss the crucial importance of volunteer support for Ukraine.

The event will be held in English.

As always, after the main programme, we will gather for an informal discussion over light snacks and drinks.

Admission is free.
