Clean-Up in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine

Another ecological GYSD event in Ukraine took place in Ivano-Frankivsk on May 1. The project "Let's Make Our River Clean" was organized by FLEX alumna Iuliia Murava.

The aim of the project was to clean the river Bystrytsia Solotvynskia. It is a very very beautiful place, and a lot of people spend a lot of time in spring and summer there. Unfortunately, nobody cleaned it in fall, and that’s why all the garbage was still there, and the area was very dirty.

7 FLEX alumni participated in this event along with 12 active members of the student union who have joined in. The volunteers have cleaned the right side of the river. There was so much garbage there, that the volunteers had to take it with one of the alumni’s car away in 2 rides. 

One of the evident positive effects of the project is that the idea of it has started a lot of other cleaning projects in Ivano-Frankivsk getting planned.

We hope that every year GYSD will attract more and more attention to the ecological issues around us. The alumni from Ukraine have showed they really care about the environment and nature, and we appreciate this a lot! Thank you!
