Hey, everyone!

Thank you very much for your support and care. A lot of you not only donated and spread the word about my project but also found a way to contact me and send me kind words. This is essential for someone like me.

There a few things I would like to share with you.

Firstly, I did an interview with my main contributor Yarko in Bristol.  He is a Ukrainian raised in Detroit, USA. I spoke to him as I want to find out more about the generations of immigrants who were before me. My initial plan is to include a few minutes from the interview. Will see!

Secondly, I went to Ukraine in April and returned with some new ideas and insights. Oh! And footages, of course. I used my IPhone to take pictures and record videos. I could not bring camera and I did not want to, because due to the martial law in Ukraine you have to be careful with recordings and explain to everyone what are you doing. I did not want this to stop me, so I was being quiet and creative. 

Finally, I am working on the structure at the moment so when the money comes I will be able to finalise editing. 

Please keep sharing this link to other people https://spsr.me/a9d7

Best, 

Varta
