It will never be too late to start: Ways to help Ukraine
It has been a while since the invasion of Ukraine started, but there are still many things that we could still do for the people of Ukraine. Wouldn’t you want to make use of your creativity for something good? This article will show you some options of how you can help, from the general ones to more specific to creators.
Stay Informed
This is at least what you could do for Ukraine. If you are confused about why this whole thing happened, please look up some reliable sources on the internet and educate yourself about the whole crisis. One article you could read is “Ukraine conflict: Your guide to understanding the story” published by BBC. Understanding what is exactly happening in Ukraine will help you know what you can do for them.
Donating Money
According to the United Nations, 3,489,644 refugees fled from Ukraine; as of March 20, 2022. They are under severe lack of food, shelter, and other materials. One way you could help is to donate money to organizations that help the refugees get their basic living needs. Here are some of the major organizations you could donate to: The Ukrainian Red Cross, UNICEF, Save the Children, and UNHCR. There may be other organizations in your country that are helping Ukraine. Unfortunately, there are many charity scams; please be careful to search about the organization before donating.
Peacefully Protest
Another way you could help is to join in a protest. Peaceful protests can spread awareness of what is happening in Ukraine to normal people living their ordinary lives. It is important to do this because often, people won’t act for others unless they internalize those problems. By joining a protest, you are impacting society by making others realize that the invasion in Ukraine is actually happening, and they are responsible for doing something about it.
Support and Spread awareness
Here is where Evoke Music users can use their skills to create videos to help Ukraine. Supporting and spreading awareness could be done in numerous ways. One of the basic ways is to create YouTube videos or Instagram posts about Ukraine. For example, you can introduce some reliable organizations to donate to in your home country, motivate people to join in peaceful protests, or explain what is happening in different languages. There are so many ways to help Ukraine with the skills you have.
As Evoke Music, we are currently supporting Ukraine in our own way by providing a playlist, “Pray for Peace”. We have collected tracks that are suitable to be added to videos supporting/educating about the crisis in Ukraine. Please use our music to create content that will motivate people to feel personally involved in this crisis and lend a hand to the people of Ukraine.
We all wish for peace as fast as possible. For that to happen, each of us must do something. For example, Evoke Music users can help by creating videos that can impact someone to act. Let’s each of us do what we can to end this crisis.
