  • The capital of brave people

    10 MAY 2022 · When Russia invaded Ukraine, the people who run the Tabletochki Charitable Foundation got to safety and then got back to work.

In partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and ALSAC, its fundraising and awareness organization, and their global partners, Tabletochki has helped ensure the continued care of more than 1,000 children. Hundreds have gone to hospitals throughout Europe and North America. Some are being treated at St. Jude in Memphis. In this episode, Olga Kudinenko and Svitlana Pugach tell us about the work of Tabletochki and their plans for the future, once the war is over. This episode is free of advertising.
