Zij bieden hulp en organiseren activiteiten. Zo staat op facebook het volgende te lezen over de actie van 7 mei DAY of EUROPA:

A lot of Ukrainian women and children have been in Moldova from the first days of the confrontation to the present day. And almost all this time they are in a confined space. Of course, no one restricts their movement, but where will you go in a strange city, a strange settlement, when you are in your burning country with all your heart and thoughts, with your family and with your loved ones.

On May 7, within the framework of the “Day of Europe”, we held a “Day of Moldova” for the Ukrainian refugees, over whom we march. These are women and children accommodated in a hostel and disabled people in a temporary accommodation center in the village of Grebleshty. We tried to distract them from gloomy thoughts and make at least a small holiday for the refugees and introduce them to the national traditions of Moldova. We have prepared gifts and national treats – placindas (national pastry pies with various fillings), apples, small national bagels with cherries, juices and, of course, some famous Moldovan wine.

The national atmosphere was created by the beautiful Moldovan music performed by Stella Platon. The special aroma of our event was betrayed by the notes of coffee from the unique Moldavian coffeejiu – Alexander Stukalov.
