It continues. We continue.
The @EdinDirectAid tablet appeal continues to support children for whom it's too dangerous to go to school in Ukraine. Gift them an education in the name of somebody special to you.

Landed at Edinburgh with our @RemSrebScot delegation and 60 mins later I’m at the @EdinDirectAid AGM reporting on our work in Ukraine!
30 years apart but so much in common.
The past and the Present.

But what about the future? …. /1

We can only do this work because you give us the funds to buy the aid. Please support us and help us rebuild the lives of those have had EVERYTHING taken from them by this devastating war.

Lucky boy. Think I must be the only person who has punctured a wheel on a Russian rocket. 😬

I won’t miss these noises- they precede death and destruction.

[David Hamilton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦 @DvdHmltn]

The long journey home from Eastern Ukraine has begun… an incredible and shocking experience- even for this veteran of Humanitarian Aid.
@DavidPondGBWR and I used YOUR donatios to purchase and deliver tonnes of aid for communities trying to rebuild their lives. 🧵#UkraineMay23
