Just a few weeks ago I was doing art therapy workshops with internally displaced women in Ukraine. What a privilege it was to encourage and bless these women who have experienced such tragedy and loss. And how humbling to receive their hugs of gratitude and thanks.

Over 10 days I travelled approx. 2000km, distributed 100 Healing Hearts workbooks, met 50 internally displaced women, held 4 art therapy workshops and cried more tears then I can count. Seeing the destruction of residential buildings and homes and hearing so many heartbreaking stories, it is clear the war is impacting every level of society and the most vulnerable are suffering the greatest.

Despite their deep sense of grief, Ukrainians are a resilient and determined people and their resolve to maintain their freedom is undaunted. The cost of their freedom, however, is high. Our prayers for them are more important than ever.
