Ukraine Sends Word of Christmas Shipment Arrival from Norfolk

Charitable Fund Swedish Help Centre in Ukraine sent word that an Orphan Grain Train Norfolk shipment arrived safely just in time for distribution for Christmas in eastern Ukraine. This is an excerpt from the email sent by the recipient:
“I recently returned from Ukraine, and I must share that conditions are worsening. This winter will be the most difficult of the war. During my trip, we distributed Orphan Grain Train aid in many of our evangelistic outreaches. The clothing and food items you sent were received with immense gratitude. I’ve included pictures from the recent load that arrived Monday at the camp, as well as from the distributions I was involved in last week in eastern Ukraine.” – Derek Thomas, Missionary, Charitable Fund Swedish Help Centre.
