April 2025

There is a simple reason why I publish my April update on 10 May, my laptop broke while I was in Ukraine. Which was not entirely bad, as I donated it to be used for parts. Different things from the laptop can be repurposed, like the battery can be used to make a power bank […]

Easter in Ukraine

This is my first Easter in Ukraine, but it will not be the last. I’m so happy that I was able to attend these wonderful events. This is a picture heavy post, covering Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I will also talk about what we did at home and a feast at one of the volunteering […]
