Common Man Restaurant’s Alex Ray, volunteers help
Common Man for Ukraine is in process right now of another mission trip to that under-attack country. They partner with Zamosc Ordynacky Rotary Club of Poland. Here, Plymouth Rotary Club bookkeeps donations. As of now, they’ve taken four million tons of food, 10,000 sleeping bags and hundreds of generators to Ukraine. They’ve helped 1,000 children-of-war through traumatism counseling. Very good deeds at a needy time in a struggling place. I’ve just given Christmas spending money to them.
If only in March 2014, when President Putin of Russia took Crimea from Ukraine, with no penalty, there’d been worldwide notice. Ukraine President Zelensky came onto the scene in 2019 with election results favoring him. The year 2022 brought the Russian assault we hear of most news-days. Reporting now centers on whether Trump can call Putin to heel. At the time, Putin wants favored treatment in any treaty-making. Ukrainians want their democratic freedoms and not to be subservient to Russia. The whole scene shows how no part of our planet isolates from the rest. We live on one interactive orb in the universe. We can rightly ask, “Heaven help us.”
Common Man Restaurant organizer, Alex Ray, and all volunteers — thank you.
