Dass in einem Krieg der Fokus der Öffentlichkeit auf dem Leid der Menschen liegt, ist nachvollziehbar. Doch immer wieder gibt es in Konfliktregionen auch Hilferufe von Tierliebhabern, so nun auch in der Ukraine. Unterstützung von Tieren ist nun möglich über PCAP in den Tierschutzeinrichtungen in Zaparoginia and Dnipro, geleistet durch freiwillige Helfer.

Spende jetzt für Tiere in der Ukraine

This weekend, in coordination with BABAs birthday, we distributed home cooked food and sweets to the hospital in Kiev for 60 people, which they appreciated very much.

A family with 5 children, whose house was destroyed in Mariupol and are now in Kiev, are being financially supported by funds received from AMURT Italy. The father is qualified in massage and physiotherapy. AMURT has provided him with a massage table, so that he can again start to work and support his family.

Refugees at the border in Siret, Romania:

Update from Dada Devavratananda (13.03.22):

Our local relief coordinators Yatiishvara in Kiev and Vijay Jelena Gorá, have expressed the concern that since both MUs in Poland have already reached their full hosting capacity, we need to preserve the remaining capacity at Catania and Ispica for those Margiis who soon will have to leave Ukraine due to the intensification of the hostilities now beginning to reach also Western Ukraine, which so far had remained unaffected by bombings.

Meanwhile there has been at our Catania center a big mobilization of volunteers to prepare the living and dining space for the refugees. Even the civil defense department has come to visit and the Italian national TV wants to make a reportage on our refugee program, so the option to wait here for the Margiis' arrival isn’t viable. Also Margiis currently at the MU aren’t ready to leave as they obviously love the place, have registered themselves as refugees with the polish government and enrolled their children at the local school.

So I have proposed to dedicate the Ispica’s center with 16 beds to margiis only, and structuring the Catania one as a sorting center for all refugees, so by cooperating with other NGOs and local government authorities, we can send them on to their final hosting place as soon as possible. In this way we will be able to operate at full capacity till the rest of the Margiis leave Ukraine and come to occupy all the rooms we have available.

At the moment there are 12 margiis scheduled to arrive soon at the MU, and we plain to leave by bus for Catania on Wednesday. If today we don’t find a sufficient number of refugees amongst those stranded at the Wroclaw train station, tomorrow we will travel to the Ukrainian border to complete the full number of 37 seats available on the bus.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

The update I got yesterday from Vijay, the Ukrainian brother coordinating margiis arriving in Poland MU, is that there are 25 of them already reached and 4 more on the way. Only 2 of them are willing to come to Sicily, where we have prepared shelter for 36 people, so I plan to travel to the Polish border with Ukraine to screen on site refugees families willing to adjust with our sentient environment and diet. Of course Margiis will have priority, so if you know any Margii family interested, let me know. The first is the retreat center at Ispica, which can host 16 people. The second is our youth center at Catania, which can receive up to 20-25 people.

Message from Dada Ganadevananda, writing from Germany (07.03.22):

Tomorrow I will travel to our MU in Poland, where already 20 Margiis from Ukraine have gathered, and more are expected to arrive soon. I plan to bring up to 36 of them with our own bus to Sicily, where we can host them at our youth center and MU project. I am not yet sure how many would want to travel so far, but in case they won't, I plan to travel till the Ukrainian border crossing and welcome refugee families willing to make the long trip. Our SS has just given me the duty to coordinate this relief effort in Berlin sector, so I am happy to cooperate with all of you already engaged in it.

Free drawing with the kids - they choose war and we draw their feelings & a huge positive sun, which represents unity and hope.

Update aus der Ukraine:

Namaskar
Ich möchte unsere Situation kurz erklären, damit alle verstehen, was vor sich geht. Im Moment haben alle Freiwilligengruppen genug Geld, aber nicht genug Leute, die Lebensmittel sind auch noch da, die Medikamente gehen aus. Im Wesentlichen arbeiten unsere Leute mit Gruppen von Freiwilligen an Bahnhöfen, transportieren Menschen auf der Straße oder zu Evakuierungspunkten und bereiten auch Lebensmittel vor, hauptsächlich für die Verteidiger unserer Städte. Ich bin von Deutschland aus gebeten worden, Bilder von der Verteilung von Lebensmitteln zu schicken, aber wir geben keine Lebensmittel aus, da es noch nicht kritisch ist. Wir wissen, dass unsere Lebensmittel- und Geldvorräte sehr nützlich sein werden, wenn sich der Krieg in die Länge zieht, was der Fall sein wird, und wir versuchen, so viele Vorräte wie möglich anzulegen. Ich denke also, wir sollten weiterhin Geld sammeln, aber ein Teil davon sollte auf AMURT-Konten in Europa oder England angesammelt und auf Anfrage geschickt werden, denn wenn die Ukraine besetzt wird, wird unser Geld in der Ukraine verloren gehen. Natürlich werde ich Fotos von der Arbeit unserer Freiwilligen schicken, aber das momentane Problem ist, dass wir die Arbeit nicht filmen dürfen, weil überall Militär ist und man sie nicht filmen darf. Wir versuchen nun, unsere Margiis zu aktivieren und zum Handeln zu inspirieren, wozu Dada Devavratananda heute einen Appell aufgenommen hat. Ich persönlich bin damit beschäftigt, die Menschen zu koordinieren (nicht nur die Margiis, die die Ukraine verlassen wollen) und die eingehenden Gelder zu verteilen, sondern auch alle Anfragen zu bearbeiten, die an mich herangetragen werden, hauptsächlich im Zusammenhang mit der Koordinierung der Menschen und unserer Einheiten. Wenn ich es schaffe, jeden Tag ein paar Familien zu erreichen, bin ich sehr zufrieden. Ich danke Euch allen, meine Lieben, für Eure Hilfe. Ich hoffe, Ihr habt Verständnis für die Situation, denn bald wird unsere Arbeit, Geld zu beschaffen, wirklich notwendig sein, und wir werden sehen, dass wir im Voraus das Richtige getan haben. Viele sind der Meinung, dass sich unsere Situation weiter verschlechtern wird und wir für unsere Freiheit kämpfen und soziale Arbeit leisten müssen, soweit das unter Kriegsbedingungen möglich ist.
Umarmungen an alle, Yatiishvara

Money transfer: Als erstes wurde Geld nach Kiew geschickt, damit unsere Mitarbeiter in den einzelnen Städten Lebensmittel kaufen können. Insbesondere in Kiew scheint es auf eine langandauernde Belagerung hinauszulaufen; deshalb ist es wichtig, jetzt einzukaufen, solange es die Waren noch zu erschwinglichen Preisen gibt.
