Throwback to when John's Red Bus 🚒💙💛 visited a primary school in eastern Ukraine in May 2024. 🇺🇦🚒

Founder John Parker 🇬🇧🇵🇱🇮🇹 found these pictures today and memories came back of his and volunteer TimFox Photography visit there.

These children drew and painted pictures showing their love and pride for their country. 💙💛

John and Tim were warmly welcomed to the school and shown around. John gave a speech and other volunteers also.

Thank you to Тетяна Пшонік for the invitation.

They are in a region of Ukraine that has a frontline edging closer to them each day. Constant threats of drone and missile attacks. 😞🙏

4 years since the illegal full scale invasion by Russia on Ukraine.

The smiles on the photos are not in celebration of this fact.

They are of the friendships made, between like-minded kind hearted people who stand strong together.

4 years of never giving up, volunteering, collecting donations, humanitarian missions to Ukraine - countless amounts of time spent, without asking for anything in return.

The only thing we do ask and pray for though, is the end of this tragic war that has taken so many innocent lives. Displaced so many innocent people.

One thing is for certain, we will continue to stand united together, because UNITY IS OUR SUPERPOWER! 🫶💪🇺🇦
