#StandWithUkraine - Romanian NGOs

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has produced a severe refugee crisis in neighboring countries. While I'm a sophomore at Stony Brook University, my family is stationed at the United States Embassy in Bucharest, Romania. The embassy is partnering with the American International School of Bucharest (AISB) to allocate, transport, and disburse donations and resources to refugees coming into Romania via non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

 

I intend to travel to Romania for my Spring Break and volunteer in the allocation and disbursement of supplies & resources. I leave Thursday, March 10th, and I plan on both bringing donations with me as well as purchasing resources for donation during my stay. These donations will include, but are not limited to:

 

 

Donations will also be packaged according to specific age groups (baby, toddler, young child, etc.). Details for specific items per package can be found at the following link:
