Giving our support to Ukrainian refugees - Europe
Ukraine | We are deeply saddened by the war in Ukraine. We couldn't stay idle in this situation. So, last week we filled 10,000 (!!) backpacks with art materials for Ukrainian parents and children.
Backpacks to bring some color
These backpacks will be spread all over Europe to bring some color in these extremely sad situations.
All our foreign affiliates and colleagues abroad can order these bags and donate them to great initiatives for Ukrainian refugees.
Other initiatives to help
In addition to the backpacks, we have also donated many art materials to initiatives throughout Europe. Everywhere artists and teachers are drawing and painting with Ukrainian children to let them forget the sad circumstances for a while.
