The Victoria Hand Project has established two partner clinics in Lviv and Vinnytsia, with another in Kyiv in progress
Victoria Hand Project provides nearly 100 prostheses in Ukraine Between 20,000 and 50,000 Ukrainians have lost limbs due to the war in their country. In the last year, the Victoria Hand Project has been able to give nearly 100 of them a prosthetic arm and hand to help restore their independence.
The project, which makes low-cost prosthetic hands in developing countries, began as a research effort at the University of Victoria in 2014. It branched out on its own in 2015 and in 2022 became a registered charity in the U.S. and Canada. The charity is asking for donations of at least $25 to help get a life-changing hand to someone who needs it most.Spirited paddlers support Island Kids Cancer on Sept. 7 Registration is now open for Paddle for Health, a celebration of strength, community and spirited paddling in support of the Island Kids Cancer Association, at Willows Beach, Sept. 7.Funds raised will go towards support services for families facing childhood cancer.
Sponsored by Sands Funeral Chapel Victoria, the event features fashions and accessories from Turnabout Luxury Resale — all modelled by volunteers and members of the Victoria Hospice care team.The proceeds from the event will go toward supporting compassionate care at Victoria Hospice. The goal of the regional program, offered by the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association to classes in grades 4-12, is to help build students’ knowledge of climate change, including the key causes, impacts and solutions.
“It’s always incredible to witness their transformation over the four-week period and to hear about their experiences with taking action at home, school, and in their communities. Addressing climate change really does require an all-hands-on-deck approach, and the youth in our region continue to play a vital role.
