Steven Youngblood from the Parkville Club spoke at our club about peace journalism just before the pandemic hit. He also wrote an op-ed in Sunday’s Star https://t.co/YkTin3UArk that discussed Ukraine, and discusses the Rotary project mentioned in last week's meeting.
As you know, the situation for Ukrainian refugees is dire. 350,000 refugees have made their way to the tiny neighboring country of Moldova, where a per capital annual income of just $4,547 means that Moldovans have only a limited capacity to assist their new guests.
Seeing this need, the Parkville Rotary Club is partnering with the Chisinau, Moldova Rotary Club on a fundraiser to assist Ukrainian refugees. Contributions collected here in the U.S. will be used by the Chisinau Rotary to buy food, supplies, and other necessities for the refugees.
Donations are being accepted through PayPal. You can pay with a credit card, debit card, or through a PayPal account. Please use this link: bit.ly/RotaryForUkraine
