Our Global Sangat Delivers Aid to the People of Ukraine
Europe is seeing the largest refugee crisis since World War II, and over the past weeks, our Dharmic organizations have worked together to provide aid to the heart of Ukraine, where it's most needed. Just this week, a sixteen-ton shipment of fresh and canned food or about 100,000 meals was delivered by our team to the Western Ukrainian city of Lviv, with its very large refugee population and a logistics distribution network that supplies much of the country.
"The Ukrainian people need all the help that is available," said Siri Sant Kaur, CEO of 3HO Europe. "I've visited Lviv several times now, and their logistics network is often unable to plan even two days in advance because supplies get used so quickly. The most urgent need now is non-perishable food and medicine, even for common ailments that come from a low vitamin diet and weeks in bunkers. While we have delivered some food now, we are grateful that the Sikh American Veterans Alliance is readying a shipment of medicine from the US."
In addition to food logistics, Sangat sevadars have been driving a 3HO Europe van between the Ukrainian border, Warsaw, and Berlin to help circumnavigate human tracking networks as refugees enter Western Europe, and to bring supplies back to the border area.
"In the Syrian refugee crisis, we saw mostly military-age men enter Europe. In this war, it is women and children, and so human trafficking networks are incredibly active, which is heartbreaking" said Simran Singh, the SSSC's Global Affairs Advisor. "Something as simple as giving people a 10-hour ride from stretched Poland to a portion of Europa that still has capacity, can be a priceless contribution."
