the words people have to say, that's why we listen. we close to every weekend on dw, the the session dash, the n v g a drive to lucas shift in northern new crane nearly every weekend to help rebuild it. early in the war, the village was occupied by russian forces, and now by 0 it's if it's one of these young people, we'd be left with nothing to the group as part of kids tech. no, see. here,

they're channeling their creativity into construction. they're supposed to push there so much for that. just feel like the worst thing that can happen to a person and more is to lose optimism. because then you die inside the can the team in spite of war and the cold gives the villagers back their home the, the, the air raid sirens were blaring here and keep just a few hours ago. but already people are back on the dance floor, dancing to is the team from repair together winding down the day. there's nothing

wrong with the partying during the war, sasha kitchen. but this one was the only one. that doesn't mean that we've forgotten the war. we think about it every day. the, the war is not our lives. it shouldn't completely define our live. that's pretty cool on your phone. you just say that there's a lot of you only see and think about the horror everywhere. at some point your own life will become nothing but for so we're here to live and to help others with people. my god. helping others is not on the teams agenda until tomorrow, sasha and his girlfriend dashed to continue the party at home. that's how they get around the curfew. the after rochelle launch this invasion dash, i could see a cova took up the g. it's very nice to get of them in order to the was played

a role for me in the sense that i now pursue every thing i've always wanted to do, like dancing and being d, j. u. i know now i can't put it off breath with, that's cool. at some point the war and the fear of death may not realize i can no longer waiting like a bit of a potato, a soft or so you have to do it here. and now and not wait a perfect moment, because that will never comment for the for the more. so when you come down, you know, sign up for data. the war is bringing back memories of 2014 when she still lived in the hans in eastern ukraine. tea party back then to, even as gunshot sprang out outside her open window. the buffer the quick to jump through. as a close, my dad said to my uncle, why did you open the window? close it, close. it grew when my uncle close the window again. i thought, okay, everything's fine when i realized that we can't control what's happening outside right now. yeah. but we can't decide whether to wherever, you know, if it is,

we can at least try to be happy. even if for rockets is about to come kids to romeo, sam, we may die. what we happy not just waiting around to desk on their own version of dine use me up to the next morning. there's another air raid warning and at home. what's left of last night's party, the dasha and sasha are running late. they're heading north today, where a village awaits them. after russia launched its invasion in february of 2020 to dash it quit her job in the marketing department of an i t firm . she helped start a new venture repair together, which manages privately funded reconstruction projects. sasha and 2 other friends

are part of the effort as well the before launching repair together. sasha worked as a creative director repair together is motto, community, and create tiffany. in the summer of 2020 to the team, organized construction raves in northern ukraine. their videos quickly went viral and inspired hundreds of helpers from all over the world to travel to the villages . almost every weekend. the raves soon attracted the attention of reporters influencers and international donors. trust got such a fall apart from that, we dropped the founder of the ends for quite the minute. i'm a poignant is store these icon. at some point i have to organizing these raves. we

noticed that the volunteers feel much freer and better at the end of their work day . oh boy, smiling again by having fun playing guitar. i just thought you know, so when you spell it out for a moment, was like life was returning to normal. if i choose to, it's a definitely like everything was good against the system assessment. the a visa of an us eva is the 3rd member of the team. before the war, the 28 year old worked for other and g o's. back then she was mostly behind the desk. now she's constantly on the move, traveling from village to village. yeah, i know that there's a, i think i visit the villages of lucas. she's got a heating it and yvonne he's got more often than my grandma's village with me and we've been going there pretty much every weekend from may until september of 2022 in my belief now that it's colder and there are fewer volunteers coming forward.

things have slowed down, but the villagers still depend on the team's health, because the state is enabled to rebuild the private homes right now. that we have still nice to know. we have a lot of responsibility and i really want to help if we weren't around or things would be very bad. dashes, sasha, and the guy has met up in the center of keith and are ready to leave the they are accompanied by 2 friends to where they're to film them. the team knows having a vibrant internet presence is important. the dash is sasha and beka may be on their own this time. so far. no one else has come

forward to help rebuild the shift can the they arrive almost 3 hours later. as in early march, 2022 russian soldiers occupied the village of less than 500 people. ukrainian forces deliberated the village 3 weeks later, but the fighting had already killed many people and destroyed most of the houses and cars. since then, many here no longer had the home come in coming, my dear the the team is being hosted by nadia even though if not known as grandma nadia.

they've been staying with her since they started working. the village can please let us know. so you can just imagine that you know suit brenda. nadia pulled it out as a relief conversation because wow, started here. the team can rest up and recharge. so so the kid and then you got it hooked and you pull the everyone. yeah, you're the one, you know, that's no longer you have everything on the table, bacon and sausage try the salad. and the cucumber. so

the team met gramma nadia. well working here in the summer to me the you think i wondered where these golden kids came from? nobody had helped us here in the village before that the net. net pretty the visa find out the folks you said video to be like, even suddenly these wonderful kids show up and running around here in the heat rebuilding of things. and that's when i sold them in the summer, i went down to the cellar and could choose some people's photos move the pickles, the good for the soul personally that i feel. ready even around the dinner table, the war is not far from mind. the fighting destroyed the only doctors office in the village. so you can skip over the ones who have no one with medical training. the

know nobody but i sometimes go to the people myself, to the grannies to give them injection. so that's kind of the seriously serious thing be on to be what it is i you, i inject antibiotics, everything. i know how to dilute the drugs properly. i know with the break, but i don't object intravenously. other than that, i administer all the show. definitely. there are still no volunteers for tomorrow. for those beams, one of the drums. let's see if we can get some work done, whether anyone shows up the tools that you are for sure. so i say we check again tomorrow. oh,

the next day begins with a prayer and a local church. it's been destroyed, but the villagers still come here every saturday. is the goal of the no one has come forward help with the construction site. the so far there are only 4 rows of bricks. beacon and dash o want to have the house completely finished in 3 months time to get to work. but right away, they run into a problem. the threat of the construction manager move to the concrete mix due to another property and didn't let us know. now we have to mix it by hand. the

construction manager is not in the village today and can't help are you happy to step last? i'm pretending i'm spreading, frosting on the cake. the in the summer these the work trips looked very different. the team was joined by hundreds of volunteers. together, they cleaned up more than $120.00 properties renovated 20 and built 7 homes. the that's just not possible right now. it's too cold. besides visa and dash one, only women to work on this particular site. they want to teach women how to build

houses. they say man on construction sites often don't take women seriously. we're seeing the national full of them in our health and supports most likely maybe you can mix cement news, put no, he's not allowed, but they should entertain us. ok. and then today who will not? so if share classic success give shows the kind of, tim, we like telling classic successes, joke speaks from that, women have a fit. if they break a finger nail. for example, if people usually think it's in cute that we work in construction store,

but they assume will end up asking the man for hell a sort of and those are going to take him somewhere within pursue commission for the rest of our lives goes yes, lose so i'd like enough housing with concrete blocks enough already. dish and visa hope this project will show construction managers that women mean business the of the time to call it quits for today. the team is thinking about how they can attract more helpers. the,

the story i should should a little just, we're not just here to bills thing. we're also to spend the time in the village. people often joined us because of that. it's an unusual experience. and because we share our experience in creative ways, i think it's fun. it's not just that you come here build and then leave sort of the political show that was throw some really scheduled. honestly, i think some people are just up for hanging out with us to that's why they sign up for the creating community and having fun all the more important in times of war, the

religious choice, the worst thing that can happen to a person and more is to lose optimism, because then you die inside the come see if the wars damage is visible everywhere. by some miracle, grandma nadia as house was fair during the fighting a tank shell hit only the shed in her back yard. still, she's afraid of another attack. a mechanical when i go to bed, i'm always afraid i won't survive tonight because something will come flying at me again. yes, there are those in the why tf buckle so they will,

they are going to flow enhance that they get to that. ok and more right. here, but of all of the way it is less this one close on the little deck, she is data with that capable. do that of you on the is that it was 6 big holes right here. probably we see it the way that, uh, the, the stories news might even couple vinkadesh or new group growth from case because she's during the occupation grandma nadia tried to hide her children and grandchildren in her seller. she says russian soldiers found them and let them outside the bus stop only to, to sit in on that car. they all knelt in a row here. pick one the shots at the destroyed windows. my grandchildren will see my children or see who know. gosh, with those budget dolly the russians cut my oldest grandson team is faced with a nice ginger along with the police so well know, most of the stuff we're doing. and the next morning he was taken to the church to

be sure that the please mother don't mind door, so what you're screaming for them. and when they get get through, it says she had a stroke at the age of 3070. and so the, so she's been going from doctor the doctor for half a year, but has not receive proper treatment in there. and she conduct the whole ride side and faces all distortions. and my grandson's here has turned gray from the terrifying experience of the jesse was that the list of upstairs she says her grandson was spared because he was under age at the time. the team knows the story as well and feels a sense of responsibility for the people here, but still no one else has signed up to help. and then, you know, nobody knew. so i suggest the 2 of us just continue working. story. i'm looking

it's time to do some filming, to keep the attention of their business partners, donors and volunteers. the team needs to stay visible. the best way to do that is with create a video. first, stop the church of the ascension, the during the occupation russian soldiers store to munitions interrogated people and shop suspects. here. the church was almost completely destroyed, the wave raised the mike and say church of the ascension. okay. well, this is good for the church of the ascension. the sort of the team has long used humor to advertise. it's

work great, that would be quite another piece of we shooting a short intro about 30 seconds long, and it's an intro for video where we talk about the village, where we did most of all, well, agree on that. so you jose conducted of last year officials and lucas chief, gave the team a long list of villagers who had lost their homes. in all 42 houses were left in ruins. the team has been able to rebuild 6 of them, getting most of the building materials from donors, business partners, and foundations. construction managers oversee the effort and teach volunteers what to do. but sometimes it's all just a bit too much the necessary coaching chest, the fix cousin gord, we all get really down sometimes. i don't know if you know the expression sometimes

we just can't take it anymore. so yeah it's, it's to look at us a, when i hear the village, your story is not and know that i can help them. i get inspired yet that sure there quickly to a to after all, i can somehow organize my own life. but the villagers can't, i need, especially the elderly english just within the village would have so a lot of good evening. hello. sorry for the delay. i've called you so many times, olga, even though of nose house burned down during the fighting. she barely escaped with her life. she's about to move into this new house with her grandson and daughter. i see you've already set up a kitchen the to fix it for me.

if it was for these young people, we'd be left with nothing. when we cleaned up everything we turned off the gas and covered everything with the top because we don't know and would like gas lines anymore. no one would help rebuild. so yeah, i'm going to put you, we can't do that sort of work on our own. but then this miracle happened, but none of us that expected the, this is not the for the, it's just data and veto working again today. it stopped by a supermarket. the stock of the cashier is nina. she's supposed to move into the house as soon as it's finished. and let's see, what's the credit card? yeah,

show. the other one is probably the single me, the russians run down my house and my call to but we still managed to get away and hide in the basement so we lost everything. so let's go to our city club by additional cost to you. everything. the house and everything inside that setting except to be old sheds in the yard. everything is gone out of the we took out to homeland for $15000.00 that much that they said instead of the paying that off. but as soon as we get the new house, i'll sell the current one. then i'll slip easy again and my kids won't have to live without going to show this natural gaping. will you list over there? that's why the house has to be finished. as soon as possible,

the women know this work requires perseverance, and the next attack could destroy it all again. doing pretty well, i am still right now, most of the stucco. we know the work at last several more years. a test if we have to rebuild everything again, we'll do it. we know how to do it now. the time to say farewell to gramma nadia, at least for a few days, the team plans to return to this their home away from home next weekend. thank you. the living in war is hard and no matter how loud the music plays,

death and destruction are never far away the but that won't stop the team from helping their friends in the villages rebuild. the,
