What is resilience? The answer to this question was seen with their own eyes by everyone who visited the photo exhibition from the project “Side by Side: United Communities” at the National Resilience Forum on November 20.
Each photo presented is an impressive, but true story of restoration and assistance to outpost communities of Ukraine, which is inspiring.
Here is the story of the restoration of drinking water sources in the Kharkiv region, when water supply became impossible due to shelling. And sports competitions and activities for children of frontline communities in safer corners of our country, where instead of alarm signals and explosions, children’s noise and laughter are heard. This is the ASC restored after shelling in the Koryukivska community, and the transfer of special equipment, which will now restore destruction, transport the wounded and put out fires. The experience of the Kramatorsk Lyceum, which opened its doors in Transcarpathia on September 1, and almost 600 children from outpost communities went to school, is impressive. And the poignant story of a large family from the Kherson region, who was taken from the shelling to their parents’ house by a random acquaintance from the Lviv region, will not leave anyone indifferent.
There are thousands of such stories, as in the photo. No matter how different they are, they are all about indomitable Ukrainian people.
It is possible to count millions of hryvnias and thousands of tons of aid, but it is impossible to comprehend the scale of such important moral and spiritual support that Ukrainians receive from Ukrainians. This is the key to the stability and indomitability that unites.
