13 October 2022, Ichnya, Ukraine: School director Luidmyla Kutchovera (right) welcomes Bhoj Khanal (left), team leader of the Lutheran World Federation in Ukraine, to her school during an October 13 visit by the LWF. The Ichnya school of Vasilchenko in the Ichnya municipality of Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine — home to 540 students (boys and girls) aged 6-16 — is empty of its students, with classes taught online only, until secure bomb shelters can be restored at the school. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces in February 2022, Ukrainian schools are no longer allowed to undertake onsite schooling without functional bomb shelters available in case or air raids or other attacks. The Lutheran World Federation collaborates with the municipality of Ichnya to help renovate existing but not-yet-functional shelters in the school basement, intended to secure protection for at least 1,000 people in case of emergency.
