They serve meals right out of the back of their cars and provide food packs for elderly women, too. 140 Ukrainian teachers hired in Poland are helping refugee children feel welcome and supported as they start school far from home and in an unfamiliar country. Brave doctors and nurses continue to serve, despite fear for their own lives, and as the number of injured civilians increases every day. Women, who’ve been displaced themselves, are leading the important work of emergency shelters in Ukraine. In one such shelter in Kyiv, 2,000 people have passed through, and every one of them was known by name by the head of the shelter.   [Thank You!](  [Facebook]( [Instagram]( [Twitter](   Text CARE to 227387 to receive SMS updates about your impact around the world.
