Operation WARM FEET: Winter boots for Ukrainian orphans
https://ml-fd.caf-fac.ca/wp-content/...5-1180x885.jpg
Canadian Armed Forces Captain Humberto Lopes, Chaplain of Joint Task Force-Ukraine, is shown holding up a pair of winter boots that were provided to the children at the Home for Children #1 Orphanage during Op WARM FEET.
While the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members deployed on Operation UNIFIER have the primary task of providing military training, mentoring and capacity building for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they have also been committed to reaching out to Ukrainian communities through humanitarian projects.
“With the support of the Chain of Command, we have been assisting non-profit local organizations by means of voluntarily contributions, fundraising events, and by CAF members’ voluntary participation in day programs designed for disadvantaged children and young adults with mental disabilities,” said Captain Humberto Lopes, Chaplain of Joint Task Force-Ukraine. He has led this project during the operation.
One of the new humanitarian initiatives of Operation UNIFIER was to offer support for Home for Children #1. This orphanage in Lviv, Ukraine houses fifty-five young children full-time, ranging from 2 to 6 years of age. After contacting the Home for Children director, it became clear that winter boots were one of the most pressing needs for the kids. That knowledge ignited the idea and initiative of Operation WARM FEET.
