Since 2012, the Max van der Stoel Foundation (FMS) has been working with the Ukrainian SD Platform; a social democratic youth organisation. The cooperation is close and ties are strong. Several times a year, the FMS organises trainings in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, so many Dutch FMS trainers have built friendships with Katya, Igor, Olena, Bogdan and the countless others who selflessly and tirelessly work for social democracy in Ukraine. The network of local activists built up over ten years is currently being deployed to support those who are suffering the most, and provide concrete help to all who need it; from the streets of Kyiv to the shelters of Kharkiv.<\/p>\n

We want to help the SD platform. Therefore, with your commitment, we will collect items for them: medicines, personal hygiene products, long-life food, etc. The list of items has been prepared by our Ukrainian comrades and covers the most acute needs. See below the full list.<\/p>\n

How can you contribute? <\/strong><\/p>\n

You can contribute in three ways:<\/p>\n

1. Buy items yourself and hand them in at one of the collection points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grab the list below and throw some extra items in your trolley or basket next time you are at the supermarket or drugstore. Then deliver these items to Saturday 9 April from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.<\/strong> in at one of the collection points or have your online order delivered to the collection point on that day.<\/p>\n

2. Organise your own collection campaign at a local supermarket or drugstore<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also others<\/em> ask to buy something extra. Collect the items yourself and then drop them off at one of the collection points on 9 April. There are tips and tricks at the bottom of this article on how best to go about this.<\/p>\n

3. Donate money<\/span><\/p>\n

With the money you donate, we will buy the necessary items. Donations can be made to NL15 RABO 0394 5461 21, in the name of 'Foundation Max van der Stoel' and stating 'Collection Ukraine'.<\/p>\n

See the bottom of this mail for the addresses of the collection points. <\/p>\n

Transport to Ukraine <\/strong><\/p>\n

From the collection points, we make sure the items are collected in one place and then transported to the Slovak-Ukrainian border. From there, people from the SD platform distribute the items to all Ukrainians<\/em>, social democrat or not. This is how we from the Netherlands contribute a little bit to alleviating the acute need in Ukraine.  <\/p>\n
