Here's a message from Astronomy for Equity's Founder Mike Simmons about our upcoming trip to Ukraine

[Astronomy for Equity @Astro4Equity]

Did you know? Stargazing fosters curiosity and resilience in students, especially during tough times. Our mission is to bring this sense of wonder to students in Ukraine. These images are from other A4E projects to bring telescopes to marginalized communities around the world.

[Astronomy for Equity @Astro4Equity]

Due to ongoing blackouts, Ukraine’s night sky is clearer than ever—perfect for stargazing. We’re bringing telescopes to children who need hope more than ever.
