Dear Friends,
In response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, in June, 2022, three Washington, DC, area mindfulness communities (Still Water Mindfulness Practice Center, Washington Mindfulness Community, Opening Heart Mindfulness Community) practicing in the Plum Village tradition came together to establish Love in Action, a project that is a concrete manifestation of their engaged practice. The initial focus was on refugees from Ukraine who have fled to the Czech Republic. Since September, the Love in Action focus has expanded to include Ukrainian civilians in Ukraine who are receiving medical, food and other assistance from organizations based in the Czech Republic.
Through the generosity of many, Love in Action has raised $20,000 so far.
The onset of winter in Ukraine combined with disruptions to the power grid will create dire circumstances for many Ukrainian civilians.
OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE AN ADDITIONAL $14,000
By December 31, 2022.
