In April 2022, we visited the Ukrainian border and a refugee center in Warsaw housing 5,000 people, mostly women and children. It quickly became clear that we needed to provide support for the kids so we opened a primary and high school. Since opening, both the primary and high school received accreditation from the Polish and Ukrainian governments! In June, our team from San Diego joined our team in Poland to celebrate the first graduation with a joy festival! It was filled with balloons, singing, dancing, and ball pit fun, celebrating the impressive achievements of our courageous, accomplished, enthusiastic students.
Our school’s reputation has grown rapidly, leading to a waitlist of over 200 students eager to join our community. To accommodate these deserving students, an additional $3,000 per month is needed to expand our classrooms. We deeply appreciate your support and would be incredibly grateful for any additional contributions to help us provide education to those on the waitlist. Thank you for making a difference in these students’ lives. Check out the latest video updates here.
We are also thrilled to announce the launch of the second season of the Love Does podcast on Monday, September 16! Our first episodes will spotlight the incredible efforts in Poland and Ukraine, featuring the inspiring leadership of our team there. To get caught up on last season, listen here!
