Back to Packing Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) for Ukraine

 

#RazomforUkraine volunteers at the end of the day Saturday.
We set a new record of 3,063 IFAKS made and shipped in one day.

After a month in Europe I returned to volunteering with #RazomforUkraine putting together Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) for soldiers and emergency medical teams in Ukraine.  On Saturday we set a new record of 3,063 IFAKs in one day.  I started volunteering in late March.  Since shortly after the Russian invasion began, Razom has shipped more than 71,000 IFAKs to Ukraine. 

From the moment I entered the building I was reconnecting with people I really enjoy working with.

I plan to be back two days next week and as often as I can until I travel again. 

In April and May I wrote about how much I like volunteering with Razom and about some of my fellow volunteers.
