Eagle-Orzeł is in the news in support of our current fundraiser in support of the the Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Snip below and you can read the newspaper here! We have extended our fundraiser so donate today by clicking the donate button below!

Dear Friends:

The Board of Eagle-Orzeł Educational and Cultural Exchange, Inc. is very saddened by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Our mission and work organizes and promotes cultural and educational exchanges between the United States and Poland, www.eagle-orzel.org. Since the start of the war, we have been in constant contact with my friends and partners in Poland. They have told us firsthand of the suffering, both mental and physical, that this war is bringing to all the people in Ukraine and Poland. As you can see on the news, Poland has been doing everything in its power through grass roots efforts of the people to provide refuge, food, clothing, and support to the Ukrainian people who are escaping to Poland.

One of our Polish partners, Ewa Musiejko, Director of PMDK, in Otwock, is preparing to take in Ukrainian refugees and orphans in the next few days. The citizens of Otwock are collecting items necessary to help and feed the refugees which consist mainly of young women and children who are fleeing and leaving their husbands behind to fight in the war. You can view her efforts on their website: www.pmdk-otwock.pl There is a video under the heading “Zbiorka w PMDK.”

The Board members of Eagle-Orzeł Educational and Cultural Exchange, Inc. voted unanimously to send aid to the PMDK community via their Director, Ewa Musiejko, to help in PMDK’s efforts to provide food, clothing, and shelter to the refugees from Ukraine. Our partnership with PMDK has been going strong for over 10 years and Ewa assured us that she would earmark the funds for “help” and show us 100 percent transparency.

If you wish to donate any amount great or small, you may send a check made payable to Eagle-Orzeł Educational and Cultural Exchange, Inc. to Dr. Mary Kay Pieski at 196 Bayou Bend, Groveland, FL 34736 or you may use the Donate button below to send us a donation to support Ukrainian Refugees in Poland. Our support drive to support the Ukrainian Refugees in and around Otwock will be running through April 19, 2022.

We know sometimes we are hesitant to donate to charities that claim they will make sure the money will get to those who need it. We guarantee that this one will be responsible. We will be wiring money to the PMDK account from Eagle-Orzeł on April 19th. Thank you in advance for your donation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at eagle.orzel2@gmail.com

Sincerely,

The Board Members

Note on our Special Call of Support for the Ukrainian Refugees:

In solidarity with our Polish colleagues and friends, Eagle-Orzel Educational and Cultural Exchange, Inc. is helping to raise funds to support the humanitarian efforts of the PMDK cultural center in Otwock (PMDK = “Powiatowy Młodzieżowy Dom Kultury” translates “Province-wide Youth House of Culture”). PMDK is actively serving as a collection and distribution site for donations and is organizing the transport of food, medicine, personal hygiene items, and more to a town in Ukraine. Two of the transport vans are pictured here. The PMDK is also hosting arts workshops for Ukrainian children (pictured here as well). The money raised by Eagle-Orzel will be sent directly to Mrs. Ewa Musiejko, the director of PMDK. We have worked with Mrs. Musiejko for over a decade and are confident that the money will be used responsibly to support the refugee crisis. Please visit their website (https://pmdk-otwock.pl/) or Facebook page to stay abreast of the center’s activities. We will also post periodic updates on our website. Thank you for your interest and generosity!
