1000 days of war: Amstetten supports Ukrainian refugees
UOn November 19, 2023, a sad milestone will be reached: exactly a thousand days have passed since the start of the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine. This conflict has forced countless people to flee, with many of them having to seek safety in various countries, including Germany. Some Ukrainian refugees have found a new home in Amstetten, and efforts are being made to make it easier for them to get started in their new living environment.
Immediately after the outbreak of war, the Welcome People initiative was launched. Its goal is to help Ukrainian women and their families in particular adapt to their new place of residence and build a new life. The team behind this initiative is made up of committed supporters who are committed to providing a warm welcome and support in the community. These volunteers contribute their resources and time to promote the integration of displaced people.
The Welcome People initiative
The initiative not only listens to the concerns of the newcomers, but also offers practical support. From language courses to legal advice to shared leisure activities – the Welcome Mensch team is passionate about supporting people in their difficult situations. Many people feel particularly attracted to the community events, which serve as a platform for exchanging ideas and making contacts.
The need for these measures is highlighted by the ongoing challenges refugees face. Many have had shocking experiences in their homeland and at the same time have to find their way in a new culture. The support they receive through the initiative plays a crucial role in their integration process.
Amstetten is therefore an example of helpfulness and solidarity towards people who were forced to leave their homeland due to war and violence. The affected Ukrainian women and their families not only find a roof over their heads, but also community and prospects for the future.
The thousandth day of the war is not just a date; it reminds us all of the ongoing conflict and challenges facing the people of Ukraine. Initiatives like Welcome Person are a ray of hope that offers hope for those displaced and show the importance of standing up for others.
