The last few weeks have been non-stop work for our team on the ground in the Kharkiv region. As well as completing repairs on 20 of the homes damaged by the attack in Derhachi a few weeks ago, they have also completed an order of a further 20 houses in Slatyne, and done repairs on a social services centre in Derhachi, who we received a request from last month. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are yet to have been able to go down and have a look at the successful work ourselves, however we hope to do so in the coming weeks, and then will provide a full report. For the time being, I will attach photos sent by our local team of some of the deliveries and completed work. This month we also decided to support the local arts scene in Kharkiv, following the total destruction of the electricity infrastructure in the city. Allowing residents a semblance of normality even as horror continues to be unleashed on them feels like a vital form of resistance right now. We therefore temporarily provided the Some People cultural centre in Kharkiv with a portable power station to allow them to continue with an exhibition which was due to open the day of the major energy attacks. That exhibition has now finished, and we will be relocating the power station to a border village so it can continue to support people there.
