Hi Friend,
We want to make sure you have the latest information on Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) response to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
One of the many ways we are able to provide lifesaving medical care where it is needed most is by partnering with local volunteers and organizations. This approach has been integral to our ongoing response to the war in Ukraine.
Before she became a volunteer liaison for MSF, Daria Samoilova was a lawyer working in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city and one of the places most impacted by the conflict.
“I had a good life,” Daria tells us. “[When the war started] I knew everything was changing and it was possible that my life could be destroyed.”
Seven days into the war, Daria’s fears came true. A large building near her mother’s home was destroyed by an explosion, prompting her family to flee the city.
Daria started working with MSF, first as a translator and then in her current role as a volunteer liaison, connecting with and overseeing partnerships between MSF and local groups. Our teams throughout Ukraine are working with dozens of local organizations with the help of local staff members like Daria, delivering thousands of food boxes and medications to remote villages where people are cut off from care by the war.
Just a few days into her role, Daria realized something. “I felt happy,” she said. “I was doing something good and kind, and everyone I was working with had the same idea: to help.”
The incredible collaboration we’re seeing in Ukraine between MSF and local volunteers is just one example of what we have known for more than 50 years: we are stronger when we work together.
