Viktor Orbán's wife, Anikó Lévai, visited Transcarpathia as a goodwill ambassador of the Ecumenical Relief Organization to see the situation of refugees from the war at the border inspection.
The prime minister's wife told what she experienced at the Ukrainian border, what the refugees need most, but she also revealed how she can process the horrors she saw as a mother.
In the Magyar Hírlap article, he not only wrote about this, but also reported on other assistance efforts.
For example, Wizz Air helps Ukrainian refugees with 100,000 free tickets, which they can use on continental European flights departing from countries neighboring Ukraine (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania). The airline said that Ukrainian refugees who want to book a flight can find more information on the https://wizzair.com/#/rescue . In addition to the 100,000 free tickets, the company provides refugees with specially discounted fares for all flights. For a successful reservation, the number of the Ukrainian passport or identity card is required, and these documents must always be presented before take-off, Wizz Air indicated.
They added: Wizz Air has already put several larger planes and additional flights into service in the countries bordering Ukraine in order to support the movement of those forced to leave their homeland.
In the article, you can also read that the education of refugee children is organized by Catholic schools in Budapest.
As they write, the teaching workshop of the Hetvenkét Tanítvány Mozgalom and several Catholic schools in Budapest organize the education of refugee students who came to Budapest due to the war situation in Ukraine. The organizing institutions wrote in their statement that they feel it is their duty of conscience to help those in need to the best of their ability.
Several of the church schools undertake to admit refugee students to the institution. In addition, the teachers' workshop of the Hetvenkét Tanítvány Mozgalom and the Piarista High School organize classes for refugee youth in the downtown building of the Piarista High School. The lessons are taught by teachers of the church schools joining the initiative, undertaking voluntary work. They added: education can start after the refugee families arriving in Budapest have been accommodated.
The organizers are also waiting for applications from volunteer teachers at the e-mail address vissjajelzes@budapest.piarista.hu.
In the announcement, they put it like this: "Our conviction stemming from our profession is that we can work on building a more peaceful and humane society through education. Our initiative is not simply an expression of our solidarity in action. We believe that the help we provide to refugees arriving in our city is an opportunity" to meet Jesus "through the service of our fellow human beings".
The initiative includes the teaching workshop of the Hetvenkét Tanitvány Mozgalom, Szent Imre High School in Buda, Patrona Hungariae Catholic School Center, Piarist High School, Szent Angéla Ferences Primary School and High School, Mária Ward Primary School, High School and Music Vocational High School in Budapest, Szent Benedek High School and Technical High School, as well as St. Gellért Catholic Primary School and High School will take part.
