Ukraine Social Story

The Ukraine social story talks about the Russia-Ukraine War, with its main purpose being informing people, especially children, of the importance of peace. The story written by  Dr. Shu-Chen Jenny Yen defines what a war is, what different people are experiencing during the war, and how other nations are aiding those who are negatively impacted due to the war. We engaged in this project by drawing illustrations and translating this story from English to Chinese so that the story can reach more people. We hope by doing so, we spread awareness to others about the impact of war and not only how it impacts the countries who are directly involved but also how it impacts the world entirely. 

In addition, we initiated a fundraiser through GoFundMe, raised $5000, and printed 200 copies of the book in the US. Dr. Shu-Chen Jenny Yen contacted teachers in Ukraine to organize a plan so that they will be receiving the books sent by us. With their help, all 200 copies were successfully sent to the hands of Ukrainian children living in refugee camps. The books also later reached the Czech Republic. At times, war can be inevitable, but it is extremely important to remember to spread kindness and help whenever we can, regardless of what form.
