Trampolines for children in Ukraine: Hainichen tackles despite war!

In the middle of the holiday preparations in Saxony, people in Ukraine and other crisis areas such as the Gaza Strip, Israel and Iran are concerned about the coming weeks. With a look at reality in Ukraine, in which, despite the war, an unusual request recently received, the aid organizations in Hainichen are preparing for their next transport. Project manager Thomas Kretschmann reported on an inquiry to get trampolines for children and adolescents so that they can experience a little distraction and joy during the holidays.
