Relief missions to Ukraine are anything but routine, even in 2026—they remain a massive logistical challenge every single time. Our latest Convoy No. 49 proved this more clearly than ever. Despite bureaucratic hurdles and days of delays, we made it: the essential goods have finally reached their destination. When Bureaucracy Slows Down Aid Our team was originally scheduled to be on the road much earlier. However, new transport regulations for second-hand textiles in Poland f

That was real teamwork: we managed to get it done in just five hours. The 40-ton truck for our Convoy No. 49 is packed to the roof!  Our “warehouse Tetris” worked perfectly, and not a single centimeter of loading space was wasted. What’s on board? This time the cargo is especially diverse and covers many essential needs. Included are: Education:  Urgently needed school furniture for the children on site. Mobility & Care:  Wheelchairs, walkers, extensive hospital supplies, and

All participants in the convoy are now on their way home.

++Notstrom für Berestyn++ Nach Verzögerungen und Schwierigkeiten beim Transport bedingt durch die extrem niedrigen Temperaturen gibt es nun die erlösende Nachricht, dass Konvoi 44 sicher in Berestyn eingetroffen ist.

Packaktion 28.01.2026 First truck on its way to Berestyn Following yesterday's successful packing operation, the first part of our convoy set off last night! Particularly efficient: We're using a 40-ton truck that previously delivered goods from Ukraine to Europe. Since the truck is now on its return journey, it's being made available to us very cheaply for the aid transport. A Ukrainian driver is now taking the load directly to Berestyn. More trucks in February But this is j
