Celebrating international women’s day with this woman.
I recently hung up my theatre teacher’s hat for a leadership role in Kyiv, Ukraine. I was relocated to my country of origin on Feb 14th, but my heart is still in Ukraine. My home is there, some of my children and colleagues are there, and I hang on to hope – hoping against all hope that peace returns to this beautiful country.
If you want to do more than hope – see these links collated by my school PSI, Kyiv: https://www.psi.kiev.ua/community/stand-with-ukraine
And this ART for PEACE project.
Poem: Contra Spem Spero! (Against all hope, I hope) by Lesya Ukrainka
