Дуже дякую! - Thank you!
This solidarity action was a great success
Eleven (11) drivers volunteered to drive five coaches for this mission.
- 2.5 tonnes of relief supplies (medicines, hygiene items, food, etc.) were collected thanks to donations from staff and individuals who responded to our appeal on social media.
- 2 whole trailers were filled with clothes and toys. These were transported to the Red Cross / Caritas "donation centre" in Livange and will be distributed when refugees are received in the Grand Duchy.
- In total, more than 150 people were transported by our coaches: Some people were taken to relatives in Germany and Luxembourg. However, most were taken to the Structure d'Hébergement d'Urgence in the halls of Luxexpo on Kirchberg, from where they were received by the Office National de l'Accueil (ONA).
Thanks also go to all those who contributed to the success of this action!
The management of Voyages Emile Weber would like to congratulate all the drivers who created this initiative and for their commitment on the ground.
Finally, we are also very happy about the impressive number of donations collected from the population!
All these efforts fully benefit the people who have fled their country due to a particularly painful episode in our history.
The actions continue
The five coaches have hardly returned when others set off: other relief actions have been started in which Voyages Emile Weber is involved: among others, minibuses were chartered by the Rotary Club Esch-Bassin Minier to travel to Poland.
In addition, a coach was provided free of charge to the Archdiocese of Trier for a child rescue operation.
In view of the fact that an end to the conflict is probably not in sight in the next few weeks, further actions are currently being prepared with various associations.
How you can help
Everyone can offer their help by supporting one of the aid organisations or the LUkraine asbl association.
In addition, the collection point "Spendchen" in Livange accepts your donations in kind (clothes, toys, etc.).
