We would like to update you on the continuing efforts of the Love in Action (LIA) volunteer team to help those harmed by the war in Ukraine.

Click on this link and it will take you to the latest report from the all-volunteer team.

LIA was formed in June 2022 in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. Three Washington DC area mindfulness communities practicing in the Plum Village tradition (Still Water Mindfulness Practice Center, Washington Mindfulness Community, Opening Heart Mindfulness Community) came together to establish Love in Action, a project that is a concrete manifestation of their engaged practice. An additional five supporting sanghas joined us, as a concrete manifestation of our engaged practice.

The report tells you about the supplies the team has provided, like clothes, food, hygiene products, cookstoves, and heating pads. But the war continues without an end in sight, and now the bitter cold of winter has returned. I am writing again in the hope that you may feel able to make another contribution for this winter; can we together raise an additional $30,000, for the same basic humanitarian support? 

We thank you in advance for whatever you are able to offer. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

With love to all

Nigel
