“Humanitarian aid was distributed today. In fact, we were given more than what was written: Pasta, rice, oil, canned pork and other things. Everyone is very happy,” according to Vasiliy, in a May 16 update through partnering sponsor church Highland Fellowship.
“This week we plan to distribute. I personally plan to participate in the distribution. Thank you very much for your help in obtaining these resources! Now our opportunities are increasing. And your finances help solve the problem of transport and fuel.”
