Only recently, the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Migration und Fl\u00fcchtlinge (BAMF) announced that more than 600,000 people<\/a> have already fled to Germany since the beginning of the war. Almost 40 % of them are children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all worn out by the terrible images and news of the war, especially after more than two years of pandemic. This is probably the same for you as it is for us. As well as for the many volunteers and humanitarian organisations who have been doing a tremendous job for the last two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, this exhaustion is currently also reflected in the declining number of volunteers in the projects. Although, the war is not over! The many refugees, helpers and aid organisations on the ground still need support from volunteers. Help them out and find a suitable volunteer opportunity in one of the Ukraine emergency aid projects throughout Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of April, more than 84,000 people from Ukraine had already arrived in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. Almost half of the refugees are minors. In many cities in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, special care services have therefore been created for children and youths who now need support. But also other projects, for example in the donation collection and distribution, are happy about the help of volunteers:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
