Thank you to Xibei Zhao and the Oregon Chinese Coalition for inviting DAWN Inc and Ukrainian children to participate in the Portland Chinese Festival yesterday. It was a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchange and connection.
I deeply appreciate everyone who wrote letters to Ukrainian Defenders that will be hand delivered to them as part of our Ink of Kindness Initiative. Your kind words will bring hope and comfort during this difficult time.
Special thanks to Sofiia Lupyr for singing together with the Chinese children in Chinese. Аліса, Поліна, Маша, Софія, Олег, Аня, Олександра, Валерія, your beautiful voice brought joy and bridged our communities. Thank you, Inna Kovtun for your magic skills in helping the children succeed
