Using an opportunity, I wish to add that I would always be interested to discuss any projects or ideas that deal with charity work in western Ukraine, i.e. opening of a charity fund or charity organisation dealing with impoverished groups in western Ukraine and elsewhere. If you do not speak Ukrainian and wish to support those in need, an orphanage house, - I may assist you with providing the necessary contacts and advise.
