LOVE Hearing the Voices of Ukrainian Refugees
I so greatly appreciate the opportunity to be hearing these personal stories from different people who have been so greatly affected by the conflict in Ukraine!
I don’t trust the media to give me unbiased reports and full truth. But I can hear truth coming from the voices of the people being interviewed here.
As a person whose family took in refugees from Poland in the 80s during the Solidarde movement I really understand the importance of providing safe havens.
Having a platform to connect people is powerful! How different the situation would’ve been those many years ago for our Polish friends who escaped and are now family if communication and connection through technology would have been available then.
I highly recommend this show to anyone who wants to really know what’s going on right now!
