Дякуємо, Руслане!
Our communities around Australia, as well as supporters, were delighted to welcome Ukrainian author and filmmaker Ruslan Gorovyi to Australia for a recent film screening tour.
Visiting hromady in Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide, Perth, & Sydney, Ruslan showcased his documentary “Just Below the Sky”. The film was a unique and touching exposition of the lives and bravery of Ukraine’s fallen defenders during the battle at Donetsk airport in 2014.
Collective fundraising efforts for the Defend Ukraine Appeal through charity auctions and your generous donations saw $17,817 raised at Ruslan’s screening events!
This is an amazing result. Thank you to all who donated and attended one of the screenings around the country.
The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations and Future Ukraine are sincerely grateful to our hromady for facilitating the film screenings. A special thank you to Ruslan for his Australian tour and his ongoing work to share the invaluable stories and raise money for our brave defenders.
