“The Pragmatic Citizen’s Handbook” is an online resource with brief tips that each of us can apply in our daily lives to live better.
MOVE.BG has joined the initiative in support of the Ukrainian people “BG4UA: Bulgaria for Ukraine”. The project is run by the Bulgarian innovative community and helps to accommodate and support Ukrainian refugees in our country, as well as to evacuate people who want to escape from the war by being sheltered in Bulgaria. BG4UA was launched hours after Russia started a war against Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, and each of you can get involved and contribute to the cause.
On March 2, MOVE.BG organized a special conversation to present the opportunities for participation in the BG4UA platform. The conversation was hosted by Sasha Bezuhanova, founder of MOVE.BG, and included also two of the co-founders of “Bulgaria for Ukraine” - Elina Zheleva and Max Gurvits.
“Typically, we meet with you [in our online roundtables] to talk about innovation, green transformation, creativity, the development of Bulgaria, and how we can together ensure prosperity in a time of transformation in the world.
Today, however, the topic is different. A war has been going on in Ukraine for a week. This war is an occupation. It is uninvited and unprovoked. This is a war that destroys the land and the place where these people were born,” Sasha Bezuhanova said and added:
“In recent days, we have seen a wave of readiness to support in every way. We need to provide a home for the people and humanitarian aid, including food and medicine.
We are all praying for this nightmare to stop and for us to be able to start the recovery of Ukraine, but we are still far from it. Today we need to help the Ukrainian people and express our position and solidarity.”
Be part of BG4UA
“Bulgaria for Ukraine” website offers several options for participation: Ukrainians can sign up for evacuation in Bulgaria while people in our country can help by offering accommodation for refugees, as well as by volunteering to provide items for basic needs. As of March 2, 2,600 people have been registered as volunteers, mostly from Bulgaria, but there are also people outside the country. In the coming hours, BG4UA will be translated into Bulgarian and Ukrainian so that it can reach even more people.
