DONATES TO UKRAINIAN SPELEOLOGISTS
Hello, dear friends!
Ukrainian speleologists honestly believe that in this difficult period, each and every one of us must do all he can for the protection of our country and Victory. Caves will wait. Some of our speleological friends are fighting at the front, others are working in the rear. We joined forces to support speleologists, who are fighting at the front, and for help in hotspots. We have strong rear areas, but the war is not over yet and finances are running out. If you can help financially - we will be very grateful. This money will be spent on equipment, clothing and provision for people, who need it in hotspots.
We will win together.
If you have any question, write to Kiosieva Liliia
