【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2022 年2月 25 日波蘭華沙訊】 ─ 昨天，2022年2月24日，因應在烏克蘭日趨激烈的軍事行動，華沙慈幼傳教辦事處，為人道救援行動舉行籌募運動。波蘭當地的慈幼會士的優先目標，是要為流離失所人士及境內移民設立收容所，提供食物、食水、藥物、發電機、燃料等物資。
來自華沙的人士見證說：「我們與在烏克蘭服務的慈幼會士保持聯繫，他們全體平安，感謝天主！目前物資尚算足夠，但情況在惡化中。很多烏克蘭人開始逃離受襲的地區。多區發出警報。部份銀行已經關閉，城市外圍交通擠塞，車輛在油站前大排長龍。慈幼會士正準備收容逃避戰火的難民。他們需要食物、食水、藥物、發電機、燃料、床墊、毛毯等……除了物質的支援外，烏克蘭人民也需要靈性及心理的支援。在目前的景況中，我們需要保持鎮定，不要受錯誤訊息擾亂。」
華沙慈幼傳教辦事處表示：「目前，慈幼會士主要以祈禱作支援。讓我們為烏克蘭及整個世界的和平祈禱！」
慈幼會士於1990年開始在烏克蘭服務。他們開設學校、堂區、慶禮院、靜修中心及寄宿學校。他們為有需要人士提供支援，尤其是來自貧窮及破碎家庭的兒童及青少年。
母佑會於1992年，即烏克蘭恢復獨立地位後一年，進入當地：她們在Lviv成立首間會院，第二間位於Odessa。去年她們展開在基輔的服務，開設小學。多年來，她們透過教育及遙距收養系統來支援少女們。她們在Lviv及Odessa收容主要來自貧窮家庭的年青學生。

An extraordinary campaign to support the people of Ukraine
(ANS – Poland–Warsaw, 25 February 2022) – Yesterday, February 24, 2022, in light of the escalation of armed activities in Ukraine, the Salesian Mission Office in Warsaw launched a fundraiser for humanitarian aid. Food, water, medicine, electric generators, fuels, setting up centers for displaced persons and internal migrants are the priorities on which the Polish Salesians shall focus.
“We’re in contact with the Salesians who work in Ukraine. Thank God they’re all safe and sound!” they testify from Warsaw. “At the moment there are no material criticalities, but the situation is evolving. Many Ukrainians have begun to flee the areas hit by the bombings. Panic broke out in many places. Some banks have been closed, traffic jams are created outside the city, queues at petrol stations. The Salesians are preparing to welcome internal migrants fleeing the war. They will need help with food, water, medicine, electricity generators, fuel, mattresses, blankets … In addition to material support, Ukrainians also need spiritual and mental support. In the current situation, it is necessary to remain calm and not succumb to misinformation.”
“Currently, Salesians and Salesians mainly ask for support for prayer. Let’s pray for peace in Ukraine and in the world!,” said the Salesian Mission Office in Warsaw.
The Salesians have been working in Ukraine since 1990. They run schools, parishes, oratories, retreat houses and boarding schools. They support the needy, especially children and young people from poor or dysfunctional families.
The Daughters of Mary Help of Christians arrived in Ukraine in 1992, a year after this country regained its independence: they opened their first institute in Lviv, the second in Odessa, and last year they started working in Kiev where they started an elementary school. For years they have supported girls with education and through the long-distance adoption system. In Lviv and Odessa they welcome mainly young students from poor families.
