As winter winds down with just a few more weeks until the official beginning of Spring (March 1 in Ukraine), there's not much to report about this fund. We had a generous end-of-the-year giving season that put us in a good financial position going into this new year. So far this year, quarantines have been less severe than this time last year and we have been able to travel and visit orphaned children and struggling families which means we've increased our expenses compared to last year.
We've been thinking and strategizing a lot about the possible ramifications of a Russian invasion of parts of Ukraine. More accurately, I should say, a further invasion, because in reality Russia invaded in 2014 and has occupied about 7% of Ukraine's landmass since then. If there is further aggression then we expect the plight of orphaned and vulnerable children to increase significantly. There will be a huge influx of internally displaced people from Eastern Ukraine and we'll see more children arriving in the State orphanages and more families facing economic hardships. The need for the work we do will increase substantially. That's one of the reasons for which this fund exists. We are grateful to those of you who have contributed.
