Ukraine - USA: a partnership that works
My acquaintance with America began before I travelled overseas. In 2022, when Vinnytsia was hosting thousands of internally displaced people, representatives of the August Mission visited us with humanitarian aid. Later, their founder, Bruce Roberts, brought a trade delegation from Utah to introduce American business to Ukraine's opportunities. It was a pleasure to meet him again in Washington at Ukraine Week and discuss new joint projects!
Another important step is the signing of a Memorandum with Humanity Builders in Washington!
In 2023, we started working with Paul Ritacco, one of the founders of Humanity Builders. This organisation helps kindergartens in Vinnytsia region by providing their canteens with modern equipment. On 5 February in Washington, together with the Vinnytsia Regional Council, we formalised our cooperation by signing an official agreement. This opens up new opportunities for community development and continues the initiatives we have already started.
???? Every meeting in the United States means new contacts, prospects and acquaintances:
? Congressmen and senators who not only support Ukraine but also clearly understand its needs.
The Open World Ukraine programme, which builds bridges between our countries thanks to people committed to Ukraine, such as Lewis Madanick, whose ancestors come from Kopayhorod and Shepetivka.
?The German Marshall Fund of the United States and Pact are organisations that have been active in Ukraine for years, and we believe that their activities will soon resume.
?? Partnership is not only about helping, but also about working together. We have a lot to work on, and I am sure that these meetings will turn into concrete projects that will contribute to the development of our communities!
