Latvia and Ukraine were in lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions and Ukraine is now isolated due to the present war situation. So, we have helped supply the needs of refugees and homeless people and orphans who are now taking shelter in parts of Europe. The local teams we trained in humanitarian work are busy helping orphans and refugee families in Germany and Norway. Money for medicines, blankets, shoes and warm clothing were again provided by compassionate donors and sent to trained workers, where children were helped with provisions and resources to help them to survive the winter, with adequate heating and medicines in the locations we have worked in previously. This caused a lot of concern, but Education, reading and study materials were again still a great need to supply this year, and many children have studied well and passed their school examinations in these relocated European countries. In the years past while conducting mercy missions to the country areas in the Odessa Province we trained local teams on how to conduct mercy missions, and counselling of the destitute and bereaved. In this crisis situation, these local trustworthy teams have proved themselves indispensable and reliable in operating on their own in the House of Hope facility in the Odessa province. During the Christmas season, we were able to provide warm meals and educational gifts for the children in Germany, Norway and Latvia, as well as winter heating and medical supplies. Personal needs once again are the provision of medicines, toiletries, clothes, blankets and school materials. ## Family Needs in UK and Europe The seminars we conducted in the 2022 and 2023 period, were again appreciated by the destitute and isolated who were struggling with relationship and family issues. We were able to help families in the UK and Europe with problems in home relationships, marriage breakdowns and needy teenagers and children. More online seminars are still very popular to equip and train counsellors to help others in times of crisis. Some of these seminars have been translated into other languages. This year was a year of great challenge as well as encouragement to us to be able to help many needy families, children and orphans to do more than just survive. We have helped them to progress.
