Aucklander and ReliefAid founder Mike Seawright is on the ground in Ukraine where he is overseeing aid distribution operations and a Kharkiv reconstruction programme.
The situation in Kharkiv is particularly tense, but residents, despite the ongoing aerial bombardment, are determined to remain in their homes and their spirit remains unbroken.
Mike Seawright joins this week’s stand-in host Bryan Crump for an update.
Kseniya and her grandmother Maryna, residents of the village of Tsirkunivska near Kharkiv, have shown incredible determination. Kseniya spends her days reconstructing houses damaged by the missiles using ReliefAid supplied materials, and Maryna tends to their garden and replants seedlings for their community. Photo: ReliefAid
