Nova Ukraine Lights Up Times Square, Inspires Hope, and Calls for Support

Nova Ukraine Lights Up Times Square, Inspires Hope, and Calls for Support
Donate

In a bright display of commitment and unity, Nova Ukraine illuminated Times Square with a powerful message this holiday season 2023. We showcased our work in providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine and raising awareness globally through stunning visuals in this iconic New York City location. The billboard was active in the beginning of December.

Support Ukraine: A Call to Action

“Support Ukraine” echoes as the main message from Nova Ukraine, emphasizing the collective strength that comes when people unite for a common cause. Since the onset of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Nova Ukraine has reached over 4.5 million people in Ukraine, offering assistance and making a tangible difference through numerous projects and initiatives. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we have contributed over $100 million worth of aid to Ukraine since 2014. 

As the winter cold intensifies, so do the challenges faced by the people of Ukraine. Nova Ukraine asks you to lend your voices and take action to drive change. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Share the Message: Spread the word by using the hashtag #SupportUkraine on social media platforms, helping raise awareness and garner support.
  2. Volunteer: Get involved directly by volunteering your time and skills to contribute to Nova Ukraine’s initiatives.
  3. Donate: Financial contributions play a crucial role in sustaining Nova Ukraine’s efforts. Visit https://novaukraine.org/donate/ to make a donation.

‘Language and Thinking’ Program Prepares Young Ukrainians for Future Leadership

With Nova Ukraine’s support, Bard College leads writing- and discussion-filled workshops on the topic of justice Students from across Ukraine developed critical reading, writing, and civic leadership skills in a new program this summer supported by Nova Ukraine. The tuition-free, residential program, called Language and Thinking Kyiv, was based on Bard College’s Institute for Writing and Thinking approach to learning and was led by students and faculty members from the school. A total of 29 high school students completed the three-week program, which focused on the theme of “justice.” Students read and discussed texts written by Václav Havel, Lesia Ukrainka, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, and zeroed in on topics such as freedom, responsibility, and dignity. The students worked in small, immersive workshops and practiced a variety of writing formats, including free writing, loop writing, and process writing—all in English—and then shared and discussed their work with their classmates to examine and refine their own thought processes. One example of their assignments was the use of dialectical notebooks, in which students write down their thoughts about a text they had read together, then pass their notebook to another student to add their perspective.

Planning, Not Reacting: Ukraine’s Rescuers and Nova Ukraine Prepare for Winter Side by Side

On the tenth floor of an apartment building on Kyiv's left bank last January, Svitlana could not bathe her three-year-old daughter, Arina, or cook her a hot meal. After strikes on the energy system, they had gone more than three days without heat or electricity, in temperatures as low as -18°C. So she wrapped Arina in layer after layer and took her down ten floors of a dark stairwell to a heated tent that Ukraine's State Emergency Service had set up outside. There they could warm up, eat something hot, charge a phone and talk with a psychologist. Millions of Ukrainian families lived some version of that winter. When the power goes out, heat and water often go with it, elevators stop, and anyone who depends on electricity for medical treatment is suddenly at risk. UNICEF, which documented families like Svitlana's, observed that darkness and freezing temperatures intensify fear and stress for children. For the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, known in Ukraine as DSNS, a winter like that changes the job. They still fight fires and search damaged buildings after attacks. But when power, heat, and water fail, they also put up warming tents, install generators, and help residents get through the outages. Last winter left them, and everyone working alongside them, with a plain lesson: the time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Ukraine Is Preparing Earlier This Winter
