On 12.10.2023 the a lot of sleeping bags of our new project 1000 sleeping bags more! arrived in Berlin. 900 high quality winter sleeping bags could be ordered with the help of the sponsorship of "Gewerkschaften helfen e.V." and will now be transported to Ukraine.
Here you can see the progress of "our" container full of emergency power generators on board the HMM NURI on its way from Fuzhou to the port of Hamburg. There they will be reloaded and then transported by truck directly to Ukraine.
After further problems with the sea freight companies (one suddenly no longer accepts equipment with starter batteries in it... The others do not transport relief supplies for Ukraine - even if they are delivered to Germany) - we are now on our way.
While the need in Ukraine is growing with the duration of the war, it is at the same time becoming more and more difficult to raise funds for humanitarian aid over here.
Several Schiller ARGUS defibrillator/monitor combinations (in the picture even still with printer) are now helping to save lives in Kharkiv oblast. The very compact devices are also highly appreciated because of their very robust construction (metal housing).
Our German QA engineer was at the factory in Fu'an, Fujian Province, China. There, the finished units were randomly tested. The units are noisier than expected, but passed the tests without exception. Next step: shipment to Hamburg port customs warehouse!
We are proud and satisfied that after a long process and multiple interruptions, our emergency gensets for Ukraine are ready.
We received an urgent request from our partners in Rivne for nappies for adults in care facilities. Every day this war goes on, the number of people in need increases. But not only that - the supply of even the most basic necessities is becoming increasingly scarce.
A great example of important donations in kind:
Due to the changeover to a different system, we received 12 complete emergency coniotomy sets with long expiry dates from an ambulance service provider. Our partners on the ground are already waiting for them, because these systems are expensive. Often they constitute the last resort for severely injured patients to secure an airway and thus prevent suffocation.
Thank you very much for thinking along with us!
#1000 sleeping bags: Even in summer, houses are damaged or destroyed, people become homeless every single day.
