In honor of Teacher's Day, Odesa held the «Warm Wave» initiative, bringing together educators, children, and parents for a noble cause.
Students, along with their teachers, organized fairs where they sold handmade items crafted with love by their families.
The atmosphere in schools was filled with warmth and sincerity, and a total of 2,156,360.42 UAH was raised during the fair.
«I want to thank all the educators of Odesa, the children, and every family that participated in the fairs and contests, and of course, Natalia Kartasheva for your help to our defenders», stated Elena Buinevich, the director of the Department of Education and Science.
Funds were collected through «Monobank» and were transferred to the account of the charity fund «Southern Shore» after the event concluded.
«Today, we have already received our first extremely important orders - tourniquets and bandages, which are directly related to saving lives», noted fund representative Natalia Kartasheva.

A tourniquet — an essential tool for stopping critical bleeding in field conditions. It applies pressure to the damaged vessel, effectively halting both venous and arterial bleeding, especially after wound tamponade, thus preventing excessive blood loss.
