Representatives of the “Educational Initiatives Fund,” Nadia Omelchenko and Oleksandra Syniak, handed over books by modern Ukrainian authors to replenish the library of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, Edinburgh!
During the preparation for a working trip to Scotland, we could not ignore the issue of the lack of Ukrainian books in the families of refugees abroad. Most importantly, we wanted to bring children’s books to preserve the bedtime reading ritual and engage older children in reading Ukrainian literature!
Contacting AUGB Edinburgh, we learned that the need for Ukrainian books is indeed there, and it’s fantastic news that we have the opportunity to enrich the Association’s library.
We handed over books by modern Ukrainian authors: Andriy Kokotyukha, Iren Rozdobudko, Viktor Andriienko, Dasha Malakhova, Kateryna Yehorushkina, and other authors. All books were signed by the authors! Interestingly, the books we provided constitute perhaps half of the entire Ukrainian library of the Association.
In total, since the beginning of the war, over 20 thousand families from Ukraine have arrived in Scotland. AUGB Edinburgh takes care of Ukrainian citizens, helping them not only adapt to the new country but also maintain a connection with Ukraine – receive communication, education, and leisure activities among like-minded people.
The Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB), founded in 1946, is the largest representative body of Ukrainians and immigrants from Ukraine in the UK. With the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Association gained new life! Members of AUGB Edinburgh actively assist Ukrainians in Scotland and also collect humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
They conduct various activities for children and adults, English language courses, clubs, and plan to launch a Ukrainian school. We are very grateful to AUGB Edinburgh for the warm welcome and for the Great work you do for Ukrainians!
We are confident that together we can implement educational initiatives for Ukrainian families and children in Scotland ! The charitable book project “Good Night” continues! We receive requests from Ukrainian communities abroad asking to collect books for Ukrainian families!
We ask our subscribers, colleagues, partners, and all caring people to join our book collection and spread the information among your friends!

The Educational Initiatives Fund, with the support of national and international partners, continues to provide assistance to students in organizing the educational process to ensure equal access to knowledge for children, despite external circumstances.
Thanks to the charitable foundation Alight (USA), the Fund’s team has provided 39 4G tablets with keyboard cases to the students of Kulykivsky Lyceum in Kulykivka, Chernihiv Oblast. Currently, the educational institution operates in a blended learning format with 800 students who are transported to the lyceum by school buses from surrounding villages. The lyceum includes students whose families have faced difficult circumstances due to the war. During remote learning days, children can only find a workspace for studying in local community centers, where adults try to help with organizing the education of these students.
The provided tablets will help students stay in learning mode daily, even on days of online classes. This will undoubtedly improve the quality of education. A training day was conducted with students and their teachers to ensure the effective use of the tablets for learning.
In addition, the STEAM train Educational Center, as an official representative of Microsoft, has deployed the Microsoft 365 platform for the lyceum free of charge, enabling high-quality and secure organization of distance and blended education.
The team of the Educational Initiatives Fund is grateful to the partners for their assistance in organizing the educational process for the children of Kulykivsky Lyceum! Together, we are doing an extremely important job!
Special thanks to the STEAM train Educational Center! We are also grateful to Nova Poshta Humanitarian for their assistance!

Anton Dzyuba and Alla Maramon, together with representatives of partner charitable organizations, visited Borodyanka and the nearby village of Shybene.
The Borodyanka community was under enemy occupation for about a month, and the consequences will be felt for decades. Currently, the community includes not only local residents but also veterans from the most affected regions of Ukraine.
People are in need of both humanitarian and psychological support. Together with caring charitable and community organizations such as VLuzh All-Ukrainian League of Ukrainian Women, Hearts for Ukraine 🇺🇸, Nova Ukraine, and PULSE OF GOODNESS Charitable Foundation, we brought gifts to the children, organized a festive performance for them, and handed over greeting cards and a flag from the children of Cardinal Slipy School (Toronto, Canada). Additionally, VLuzh All-Ukrainian League of Ukrainian Women provided food packages and Easter treats to families.
We are grateful to our partners for their cooperation! Together, we are doing more good and necessary deeds!
The team of the Educational Initiatives Foundation, together with our permanent partner, IT-Integrator company, have delivered network equipment for the territorial defense forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to ensure high-quality and uninterrupted communication!
