Should anyone be considering how to help those affected by the tragic situation in Ukraine, please consider joining ASL in donating to the Burattino School in Budapest, Hungary. To date, over 300,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Hungary, and Burattino, a school for underprivileged children, has taken in a small cohort; providing housing in their two children’s homes, food from their kitchens, and schooling for children. Running this operation is costly and the school relies on donations.
