War in Ukraine has paused normal operation of the country including its schools which are forced to only offer remote learning due to air raid sirens. Many Ukrainian children impacted by war were found not to have means to join the studies. Friends of Chervonohrad has been providing the schools with tools for remote learning.

​Friends of Chervonohrad have collaborated with Dr. Olena Nesteruk, Professor at Montclair State University, to launch a Pen Pal project between 9th graders in Chervonohrad School #2 and MSU students in the Family Science and Human Development class. The pen pal pairs have been communicating via email, snail mail, social media and individual video calls.
