Dear our valued donors,
On February 24, 2022, the Ukraine-Russia war began, leading to widespread devastation. Many Deaf Ukrainians fled to other countries, but they continue to grapple with the trauma of the war, unable to forget the horrors they witnessed and the terrifying sounds (and vibrations) of missile explosions.
DeafNuri organized a special seminar to ensure that the ongoing war in Ukraine is not forgotten and to maintain global awareness. This event aimed to shed light on the experiences of Deaf Ukrainians during the war and explore ways to support the Deaf Ukrainian community in their fight for international peace.
Two Deaf Ukrainian refugees were invited as speakers, sharing invaluable insights and personal stories from their experiences during the war. The seminar provided an opportunity to reflect on how, even though we may not be Ukrainians, we can stand in solidarity with the Deaf Ukrainian community and contribute to the global peace efforts.
The speakers were deeply impressed by the high level of questions from the participants and appreciated the heartfelt and warm comfort they received. The empathy and understanding shown by the participants were profoundly moving, creating an atmosphere of warmth and solidarity throughout the seminar.
DeafNuri also felt the warmth and support, even without spoken words, which was a testament to the strong sense of community and compassion present. We hope to continue fostering suc heartwarming and impactful seminars in the future, bringing together people to support and uplift one another in times of need.
We look forward to meeting you again in another seminar filled with warmth and solidarity!
Thank you for your continued support.
Best regards,
Eunbi Park.
