Since the start of the special military operation (SMO), Moscow student activists City Center for Professional and Career Development sent over 80 tons of humanitarian aid for fighters and residents of the border regions.
“From the very first days of the special military operation, the guys have been helping military personnel and civilians. They have conducted more than 300 patriotic campaigns to collect necessary items. Some of these they made with their own hands — camouflage nets, trench candles, and much more,” she noted
Marina Prozorova, Deputy Head of the Department of Territorial Executive Authorities of Moscow.
Activists collected and sent over 10,000 units of medicines, more than 12,000 trench candles and paracord bracelets, four thousand square meters of camouflage nets, as well as over seven tons of food and personal hygiene products. The shipments were delivered directly to participants of the special military operation on the frontline, to hospitals, and to residents of border regions.
In August, aid collection was organized at the city festivals “Moscow in Motion” and “Russia. Here and Now,” which took place at 14 venues of the “Summer in Moscow” project. Over the course of a month, more than 1.2 tons of items were collected, 820 trench candles were made, and 45 nets covering a total area of over 400 square meters were produced.
In addition to collecting humanitarian aid, activists donate blood about 10 times a year for military hospitals through the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. Special attention is given to the moral support of the defenders. Concerts are organized for them, letters are written to them, and they are visited at the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after Academician N.N. Burdenko.
The City Center for Professional and Career Development brings together students from 60 Moscow universities, providing them the opportunity to gain practical experience, develop personal skills, meet leading experts, and define their career trajectory. To become an activist of the center, one must submit an application by choosing a preferred project. Details can be found at organization’s website.
