Ukraine Solidarity Campaign

Every morning in the frontline cities of Pavlohrad and Kryvyi Rih, children walk through the school gates and head straight underground. At Pavlohrad Gymnasium No. 11, lessons take place in a basement with no windows, no natural light, and barely enough space for two classes squeezed into one bunker‑room. The children have painted the concrete walls with flowers, bees and emojis; bright colours trying, and failing, to soften the reality of growing up under bombardment.
