Taverners FC walk 20km from Beroun to Karlštejn to raise money for Ukraine.
Taverners FC is a multi-national football club based in Prague with around 100 active members from all over the world, and several from Ukraine.
On Sunday, April 3rd we will walk 20km through the Czech countryside, from the city of Beroun to the famous Karlštejn castle, via the scenic village of Svaty Jan pod Skalou and the Velká Amerika quarry.
Our goal is to raise money for Človek v tisni (People In Need) and their Ukraine appeal. This Czech-based charity currently has people stationed on Ukraine's borders with Poland, Slovakia and Romania, assisting people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
Please donate what you can to support our cause.
People in Need - Člověk v tísni
Thank you for helping with us! Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, People in Need has provided aid to more than 1 million people. We have sent 17 humanitarian trains and more than 60 trucks with food, hygiene items or mattresses and bottled water, even to the destroyed Buca, Irpin or Cherson, which were left by Russian troops. Our teams were the first to enter the area. Where we are not physically, we financially support local non-profit organizations. We are repairing family houses or schools, but also water systems. We help in the east and west of Ukraine, but also in the Czech Republic. We operate in collective centers for refugees, we teach Czech to children from Ukraine, we run a helpline for Ukrainian refugees. We therefore call on all those who are also indifferent to Ukraine's development and want to help to contribute. We will use the funds to provide aid to victims of armed conflict, people on the run, and to protect vulnerable families and individuals.
In August 2014, we started helping people in the middle of the fighting in Ukraine and therefore announced the SOS Ukraine collection. The protracted armed conflict in the east of the country was causing a long-lasting humanitarian crisis, we were over a long period helping 200,000 people in particular in Donetsk and Luhansk – financial assistance for the purchase of basic necessities, hygiene packages or food packages with flour, oil, salt and sugar. Repairing damaged houses and sources of drinking water. We also offer psychosocial assistance. We are currently focusing on humanitarian aid to the victims of the conflict.
Hey Tom, It would not be possible for me to join this time because of my munchkin. I appreciate all the efforts and here is small token from my side. Hope this will make a tiny difference in making lives better for Ukrainian friends.
