A second update from Ukraine, with Andrea Shalay

One of our long-time saint ben’s people headed away this past summer, on a three year journey to Ukraine, working as the Peace Engagement Coordinator for Europe with the Mennonite Central Committee. Hopefully you had the opportunity to listen to our November 5, 2021 conversation with Andrea Shalay, because now we're offering a second conversation in this ongoing occasional series.

In this podcast we talk about her experience of the observance of Christmas in Ukraine, as well as Andrea's experience of the marketplace in Ukraine. In between we discuss the current tensions that are rising on the border between Ukraine and Russia, and how her neighbours are coping with those tensions.

Andrea’s first attempt at creating a Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner!
