5 March 2023, Bielsko-biała, Poland: Ukrainian refugee woman Nataliia Bakumenko from Pryluky (Chernihiv), Ukraine, prepares tea in the kitchen of her home in the House of Betania in the Wapienica area of Bielsko-biała. Owned by the Cieszyn Diocese of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland, the House of Betania in the Wapienica area of Bielsko-biała has become the home of a number of refugee families from Ukraine, following the Russian invasion in February 2022. The church has renovated the buildings in order to accommodate families in a dormitory style, with private rooms for each family and a shared kitchen, dining room, playing room and hygiene facilities. The house currently hosts 7 families making up a total of some 20 people, most of them women and children. Nataliia lives with her 10-year-old son Artem, and works at the Lutheran World Federation community centre for Ukrainian refugees in Bielsko-biała.
