Paris, France – November 2024 – Support for Ukraine by Salesian foundations around the world continues: the Don Bosco Foundation based in Paris, recognised as a public utility, has just financed the sending of almost 12,000 boxes of milk for babies to Ukraine. This operation was carried out thanks to the partnership with the "Laboratoire Modilac" brand, which has been producing and distributing baby milk in pharmacies and supermarkets for 40 years. The milk, from the Sodilac plants (group of which Laboratoire Modilac is part) in Caen (Normandy), arrived in mid-October in Zhytomyr, a town located 140 km west of Kiev. It was received by Fr Michel Wocial, SDB, responsible for the Salesian work in Zhytomyr and will be distributed to Ukrainian families in need. This shipment of almost 5 tonnes of cargo was possible thanks to the generosity of the donors, the Don Bosco Foundation that mobilised itself and the Don Bosco teams. Already in 2022, the Don Bosco Foundation took care of the needs of the Salesian house in Odessa, where refugees were arriving. In 2023, the Don Bosco Foundation supported about thirty projects, for a total of almost 700,000 euro in France, and in other countries around the world.
