It continues. We continue.
The @EdinDirectAid tablet appeal continues to support children for whom it's too dangerous to go to school in Ukraine. Gift them an education in the name of somebody special to you.

Landed at Edinburgh with our @RemSrebScot delegation and 60 mins later I’m at the @EdinDirectAid AGM reporting on our work in Ukraine!
30 years apart but so much in common.
The past and the Present.
But what about the future? …. /1

The long journey home from Eastern Ukraine has begun… an incredible and shocking experience- even for this veteran of Humanitarian Aid.
@DavidPondGBWR and I used YOUR donatios to purchase and deliver tonnes of aid for communities trying to rebuild their lives. 🧵#UkraineMay23
