I am once again asking for your help in support of Ukrainian refugee students at the University of Tartu. Their situation continues to be difficult. Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated by the University.
Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine continues. Ukrainians who fled their homeland continue to live in onerous conditions in many countries, including Estonia. These refugees include 300 students at the University of Tartu. The University made a commitment to these students at the outset of the 2022 invasion, and established a fund in their support. To date the fund has been able to provide much needed financial support of 150,000 euros to Ukrainian students in need. A large measure of the money donated came from the Estonian diaspora. Estonian organizations and individuals in both Canada and the United States donated almost $80,000 CDN in support of Ukrainian refugee students. The University of Tartu was extremely grateful in acknowledging this support.
