Help us Help Ukraine!

  • We have been busy indeed.

    I apologise for the lack of updates, if you want to see what I've been up to catch me on instagram on @kaneactual

    But in a nutshell, it's been three months and nothing has been wasted. From helping women and young children who had been, or been at risk, of being trafficked out of Lviv, to helping out volunteer companies in Kharkiv deliver medical and food goods to contested land. We thought that may have been the extent of our reach. As it turns out, we managed to cram more into the next two months.

    From helping train Ukrainian Soldiers on the front in Tactical medicine and small unit tactics, to teaching civillians how to safety evacuate their townships as well as how to disarm weapon systems to make their neighbourhoods safer.

    We have spent most of our time around the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Regions, two very dangerous places. We have done our best to help in any capacity we can, including manual labour tasks, as we believe that helping fulfill a need is better than satisfying our wants.

    So much has happened, I almost ate a artillery round the other day when the Russians fired one outside of my accomodation. My resolve is good and my keeness is still very much there. We still have time and we still have fire in us. Thank you all for your support, that makes this all possible.

  • Interview with Sunday (TVNZ 1)

    It has been an interesting week, we've had a crew from TVNZ 1 following us and documenting our story so far. It has been challenging trying to work a full time job, get around to see family and friends (you may not see again), keep up the admin for the team, communicate with friends on the ground in the Ukraine - as well as shoot interviews etc around Auckland. I've definitely burnt the wick from both ends lately. I will update more as we move closer to the departure date.

    Stay well everyone!
