Donations for Ukraine

We start collecting goods for Ukraine at Bialystok University of Technology. Let’s all join the action to help.

In the face of unprecedented military aggression of Russia against Ukraine, Bialystok University of Technology joins the action of the Bialystok City Hall and NGOs of the region “Bialystok helps Ukraine” – says Assoc. Prof. Marta Kosior-Kazberuk, DSc, PhD, Eng, Rector of Bialystok University of Technology.

On Monday, 28 February 2022, we launched the appeal for help.

– We collect goods listed as the most needed items to help the Ukrainian people,” says Assoc. Prof. Dorota Anna Krawczyk, DSc, PhD, Eng, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation.

Since Monday morning, boxes prepared near the receptions of Faculties of Bialystok University of Technology are being filled up with donations for Ukraine. Students and employees are bringing mainly personal hygiene products, long-term food, products for children and first-aid materials.

– In the face of recent events, our academic community could not remain idle,” says Assoc. Prof. Dorota Anna Krawczyk, DSc, PhD, Eng, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation. – We decided to join the action organised by the City Hall in Bialystok together with various organisations under the slogan “Bialystok helps Ukraine”, and to the best of our abilities we try to organise a collection of all necessary products according to the list from the Centre for Social Activity, which coordinates the action. In all Faculty buildings of Bialystok University of Technology collection points have been organised. Then, all these products will be transported to the hall of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences of Bialystok University of Technology, where volunteers – both teachers and students of our University will take care of sorting, labelling and packing these gifts. We are doing everything we can to help in this terribly difficult situation in which the Ukrainian people find themselves.

Students from all faculties of Bialystok University of Technology are involved.

– Students have already been bringing donations,” says Emilia Ramatowska of Bialystok University of Technology Student Self-Government. – Good always comes back to us. When someone is in need, one should stand up and help. In this situation, the only way to help is to organise such a collection, which is why students are eager to get involved and help.

Collection points are located at the reception desks of individual Faculties of our University. We do not specify the end date of the collection. Collection points will operate between 8 am and 6 pm.
