Ichnya, Ukraine, October 2022
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download13 October 2022, Ichnya, Ukraine: A group of students arrive at the Ichnya school of Vasilchenko in the Ichnya municipality of Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine — home to 540 students (boys and girls) aged 6-16. The school is currently empty of its students, with classes taught online only, until secure bomb shelters can be restored at the school. Nonetheless, students pass by occasionally, for example to pick up learning materials. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces in February 2022, Ukrainian schools are no longer allowed to undertake onsite schooling without functional bomb shelters available in case or air raids or other attacks. The Lutheran World Federation collaborates with the municipality of Ichnya to help renovate existing but not-yet-functional shelters in the school basement, intended to secure protection for at least 1,000 people in case of emergency.
