Dear Friends,
This update is also a good way to look back, understand what has been done and appreciate it, as well as analyze what’s happening in our lives.
You probably know about how things at the front are as you read it in the news. We can also feel what it’s like due to the feedback we receive from the friends and acquaintances who are there.
According to our government, about 30% of the electric infrastructure of the country was destroyed by the recent attacks. We have all started saving electricity much to make sure that the effect on all people and the economy is as small as possible. Winter is coming and people have rushed to buy the emergency power generators. Although there’s natural gas heating in most private houses, the automatic controls of the boilers and water pumps are still powered by electricity. People are hunting for power banks, batteries, and generators. The prices rose 4 times or more and it’s difficult to get them. The cheapest power generators run on petrol we had bought many of them and sent them out to the front line. I remember how we strived to get petrol at the beginning of the war and the huge lines to the gas stations. It was a happiness to have a few spare cans of it in storage. There’s enough petrol today and we even consider buying petrol generators.
However, many do not even think about petrol and generators at all. The war has affected the poorest badly. They think about what food they can afford to buy with their pensions. We have tried to support those who are in the worst need. With your help, we have bought 120 packs of diapers for the people who are taken care of by the local geriatric center in our town.
