Back safely
Through Aid to Ukraine another van, loaded with trauma care supplies and IT equipment, has been delivered in Kharkiv. The volunteers who took it over are back safely as well.

For the safety of our volunteers and of the people we work with, we never say exactly what we are bringing, when we go, who goes or how we travel. We stay careful afterwards too. But this van, relief supplies included, arrived safely in Kharkiv. The volunteers are back safely. They drove out in the van, three days to Kharkiv. They came back by train the whole way, this time via Vienna on the night train to Amsterdam.

Several cars are going soon. We may tell you more about that afterwards.

Even after years of war, people keep supporting Ukraine. The first car following the appeal we made last week is already going over in the coming weeks. A petrol estate of German solidity. With many thanks to the donor. More is of course welcome.

Do you still have an old car, computers or anything else standing around? Do let us know.

Old cars, and more, are always welcome
Your diesel is no longer allowed into the low-emission zone. Or your petrol car is just that bit too old and the trade-in value disappoints. A car that has reached the end of its life here can start a new one in Ukraine. There is no low-emission zone there, and a car written off here becomes a way to deliver food, evacuate people or drive someone to a hospital. We have the luxury of discarding a car because the rules changed. Over there, anything that drives gets used. A car no longer welcome in our city centres runs there over poor roads to villages that no longer have any public transport.
