Our summer agenda is here!

Our charity organization, Flottafólk, is pleased to present its summer schedule for children and teenagers. We have a football course with Ukrainian coaches, a music course for the youngest children and a scouting course for children and teenagers coming up. We are interested in number of participants for each course. Please comment below “Football +1” / “Music +1” / “Scouts +1” (+1 = number of children attending)

We will be promoting each event separately this week. As always, our Children’s Center at Hátún 2 is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm where children can play and get breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee.

Our facility in Neskirkja is also open as usual, where you can get clothes, access computers and meet Ukrainians or volunteers who are here to help.

Your community center, G8 at Aflagrandi 40, opens again after the summer with a wonderful agenda for everyone.

Ukrainian Refugee Center In Iceland
FlottaFólk provides assistance to Ukrainian citizens on their way to Iceland. We work in close relations with organizations at every European border of Ukraine. We help guide refugees at every step from your current location and onwards, until and after they arrive in Iceland.

Profits made from the T-shirt sale will go towards UNICEF’s appeal for Ukrainian children. https://unicef.is/ukraina UNICEF kallar eftir tafarlausu vopnahléi í Úkraínu og krefst þess að virtar séu alþjóðlegar skuldbindingar um að vernda börn og tryggja mannúðarstofnunum öruggt aðgengi að börnum í neyð. UNICEF krefst þess að stríðandi fylkingar grípi alls ekki til árása á mikilvæga innviði sem börn og saklausir borgarar reiða sig á. Hvort heldur sem um er að ræða vatnsveitur, heilbrigðisstofnanir eða skóla.
Sýnum íbúum Úkraínu að þau eru ekki ein. UNICEF á Íslandi hefur hafið neyðarsöfnun vegna umfangsmikilla verkefna UNICEF, Barnahjálpar Sameinuðu þjóðanna, í Úkraínu þar sem börn og fjölskyldur þurfa tafarlausa aðstoð. Vopnuð átök ógna nú lífi og velferð milljóna barna.UNICEF hefur um árabil verið að störfum á ófriðartímum í austurhluta Úkraínu og er á vettvangi að tryggja hreint vatn, heilbrigðisþjónustu, skólagögn, menntun, félagslega sálfræðiþjónustu og fjárhagsaðstoð.

UNICEF calls for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and demands that international commitments be made to protect children and ensure humanitarian institutions safe access to children in need. UNICEF demands that warring factions do not at all attack important infrastructure on which children and innocent citizens rely. Whether it is water utilities, healthcare facilities or schools.
Let us show the people of Ukraine that they are not alone. UNICEF in Iceland has launched an emergency fundraiser for UNICEF’s extensive work in the United Nations, in which children and families need immediate assistance. Armed conflict now threatens the lives and well-being of millions of children. UNICEF has been active in years of war in the eastern part of Ukraine, providing clean water, health care, schooling, education, social psychological services and financial assistance.
