Our third sauna truck is ready to rumbleThis morning, our car therapist Kalle Klooster came to inspect our beauty. KB Autos repainted our machine and made minor repairs. Now all that's left is to build a sauna and a laundry facility inside. Friends, we still need 40,000 € to complete the entire complex and set it on its way to Ukraine, to the 3rd Assault Brigade. Let's make one final effort! Beneficiary: Rotary Klubi Tallinn VanalinnAccount number: EE732200221081673222Bank: Swedbank ASPayment description: "Sauna"SWIFT code/BIC: HABAEE2XRead more
We got the truck!Thank you, Estonians4Ukraine from Brussels!Although we haven't gathered the entire budget yet, we've decided to start moving forward in small steps. This week, we made the biggest purchase - our main truck with a trailer. "The logic is simple," explained Alfred Hallika, the logistics manager of the Saunas to Ukraine NGO. "Since the Azov fighters said they don't want to remove the container from the truck, we'll deliver them a truck that's already insulated box. This way, the price for the truck+container also becomes lower." We're not being very original, as similar solutions have already been used in several places, and we learn from the best. Thank you! In any case, we shook hands with KB Auto, and now we need to find the next funds to build a sauna inside the truck and a laundry facility inside the trailer. Please help!! Take inspiration from the Estonians in Brussels Estonians4Ukraine, who have already contributed half of the necessary funds for this truck.Estonians4Ukraine super team is: Ingrid DORBEKHeidi RANNIKKadri UUSTALKairit KOLSARKirke KINKLaura RANNIKLiina SOIDLALiina SUMBERGMaret SUUROJAMari REMMELGASMaria ALAJÕEMerje LAHTOlivier DESTINPilleke LAARMANNRiin SALUVEERSaskia TEDRETiia TAMMEMÄGIThey are awesome !Read more
Situation
Most fighters spend their days in trenches
Many ukrainian fighters are in the trenches every day, under fire from enemy artillery and tanks, but they remain defiant. The situation is reminiscent of the first world war where soldiers can too easily get sick just from the absence of hygiene.
The weather in Eastern Ukraine can be very cold during winters and very hot during summers
The infantryman in the winter feels constant cold. There are cases of the amputation of frozen limbs. During the summer heat, soldiers dehydrate quickly. At the same time, the sweat mixed with dust and mud created formidable environment for different kind of
bacteria.
There are no organized washing facilities
Most of the Ukrainian units don't have centrally organised washing facilities. "Last time, I washed myself was a month ago," explained a soldier to us near Bahmut. Uniforms have to be washed by hand and infrequently. Living in constant damp conditions affects the morale of defenders.
