492 handwritten Christmas cards are now on their way to Krasyliv, Ukraine.
Prince Edward County and Krasyliv are in a Friendship City Agreement. In November, the municipality asked residents to handwrite Christmas cards for those in Krasyliv dealing with the ongoing war with Russia.
The Krasyliv Friendship City Working Group would like to extend a huge thank you to every member of the communiy who signed a card with a thoughtful message or drawing.
Kente Public School, Prince Edward Collegiate Institute, Sonrise Christian Academy, Sophiasburgh Central School, and St. Gregory Catholic School all participated in spreading the cheer.
The Christmas card campaign is just the beginning of the Friendship City Agreement with the Krasylivka Ubran Territorial Community in Ukraine. Through the agreement, both communities will work to foster mutual understanding and plan joint efforts in the areas of arts, culture, education, sports, youth services, tourism, environment, public health, and business development.
The Rotary Club of Picton has partnered with the Krasyliv Friendship City Working Group as its sponsoring organization.
