More supplies delivered
11 April 2022
Here is another update from Budapest. We've been busy with sorting out more supplies for the refugees the last few weeks. These were the main things we spent money on since my last update:
1. Toiletries supplies for new arrivals. Refugees arriving at the train station often don't have much things with them, so we provided about 50 packages with basic supplies.
2. Groceries and cleaning products. We had some contacts at a supermarket and a factory and managed to get very good rates for supplies. A refugee shelter provided us with a list of products which they needed, so we ordered nearly 600kg of supplies and got that delivered to them.
3. Face painting supplies for a community center. They run daily classes for Ukrainian kids and have about 25-30 kids there every day. This was a great success and there are several volunteers who will be running this activity on a weekly basis.
4. Clothes and shoes for the refugee shelter. They had sufficient food last week, but they needed more clothes. They provided us again with a list of required items, so we spent a morning shopping at the Chinese market and filled up 5 bags.
So far we spent about half of the donations. So more work to be done here, but there are still more refugees arriving and the ones who stay here also still need more support.
