Thank You

There has been a tremendous outpouring of concern for our sister city friends in Chyhyryn, Ukraine. Everyone involved with Sebastopol World Friends has been heartened and encouraged by the support we’ve felt from the Sebastopol community and beyond.

Stand with Ukraine

Our hearts and minds reach across the distance to be with our friends in Chyhyryn and all of Ukraine at this time of peril.

We wish for their safety and for peace.

At this juncture, should you wish to help, the best way is through monetary donations.
