Hope Spot 16 – Walking the front line in Ukraine
Together, we’re helping families on the front line in Ukraine.
a fortnight ago I shared with you a story from Ukraine about the apartments you were renovating in Kharkiv through ALWS.
(The story was from ALWS Executive Director, Michael Stolz, called Boarded Windows.)
Tomorrow, (Saturday 11 May), more than 650 people will step out from central Brisbane in our ALWS Walk My Way Ukraine.
Our aim is to make sure the people of Ukraine are not forgotten, as we ‘walk my way’ for children of war who had to run away.
To help promote this ALWS action, Michael was interviewed on Vision Radio about his experiences meeting the Lutheran communities and LWF staff working on the front line for the people of Ukraine.
You can listen to the 14 minutes conversation with Michael Stolz below:
You’re also welcome to be part of Walk My Way Ukraine.
If you’re anywhere near Brisbane tomorrow:
- Register to join the Walk
(3km or 12.5km, starting at 1pm)
- Volunteer as a Marshall – or call
1300 763 407
- Come to the QUT Garden Point Campus to cheer on Walkers and enjoy the Ukrainian Community Hub (1pm – 5pm)
If you’re elsewhere:
- Donate for ALWS action in Ukraine
In these days, when it seems that conflict is all around us …
… in places like Ukraine, the Israel Gaza crisis, Myanmar and Bangladesh
… we can sometimes feel weary about the part we can play to care for children of war
… who suffer so much, and are in danger of being forgotten by the world.
That’s why your heart for these children is such a precious blessing. ALWayS. Thank you!
