March 2020, 2021, 2022… For three years in a row, the foundation day of the Charitable Organization “Medical Aid Committee in Zakarpattya” does not seem too festive, because first there was a quarantine, and now there is a war. For the third time now, March sets new tasks and postpones our celebration. Does it make us sad? Not really. In 2000, CO "MACZ" was created precisely for this type of work: to help, support, accompany those who need the help here and now. Currently, the activities of the organization and the efforts of our friends and partners are focused on helping the victims of Russian military aggression and the defenders of Ukraine.

On March 21, 2022, the day started with a quick meeting - searching for sites for cargo placement, logistics coordinating, deliveries planning, etc. Today there were a little more people in the office than usual. We were particularly pleased to meet our friend Jacques Duplessis, who stood at the origins of the Medical Aid Committee in Zakarpattya, when the Committee was a mission of the French humanitarian organization Medical Aid Committee (France). Now, as a French journalist, he covers the course of the situation in Ukraine for the European media space.

Since this morning, we have been receiving a lot of calls – both with greetings and with an offer to help in work issues. The situation shows that for 22 years we have been doing everything right. So let's keep working!

We appreciate everyone’s effort!
