🇺🇦 For our amazing volunteer engineer, Birgitte Juncher Andersen, witnessing the reality of war gives her work a very special meaning:
Seeing a school destroyed by Russian missiles, while having her own children at home in Denmark, is “scary.”
❤️ Being able to help children in Ukraine, however, gives “immense meaning”—helping to rebuild a safe future for them.
🇩🇰 Recently, 14 men and women from Engineers Without Borders Denmark formed our largest volunteer team yet on a mission in Ukraine. Many new volunteers joined, including 42-year-old Birgitte from Horsens, who works as a construction manager at Ramboll.
💪 Ramboll is one of the companies whose strong support and partnership make our technical-humanitarian work possible.
🧠 The collaboration between some of Denmark’s—and the world’s—brightest minds from companies, our local partners, and organizations such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Danish Red Cross, Danish Refugee Council, and many more is crucial. This unique network of volunteers, large organizations, authorities, and private companies enables Engineers Without Borders to make a difference where the need is greatest.
🛠️ On this latest mission, we worked on providing clean drinking water to hundreds of children at a summer camp for vulnerable children and advising on safe, sustainable electricity supply for hundreds of thousands of residents in Mykolaiv, near the frontlines in southeastern Ukraine.
🙏 None of this would be possible without skilled volunteers with their hearts in the right place—like Birgitte, who will be returning on another mission soon.
ℹ️ Maybe you or your company also want to make a difference that gives “immense meaning”?
