Supporting New Gen School in Ukraine
Dear NewGen friends and supporters,
It's almost time for READ FOR UKRAINE 2026!
If you have been friends with New Generation for a while, you already know that we have a special tradition every March, called "March is Reading Month." Basically, this is the month when we place special attention on the gift and importance of reading, and encourage our kids to read as much as possible.
For the past four years we have also taken the opportunity to turn reading into assistance for our country through our special fundraiser called 'Read for Ukraine.' Our kids read and record their minutes, and sponsors give $1 for every 10 minutes read. I love this project because it encourages our kids to help others by doing something good for them as well.
Now we are ready to do it again, and we need your help! This year we have 133 students ready to read. Their personal goal is to read 1,500 minutes each during the month of March, or about 50 minutes/day. And we are looking for people ready to turn these minutes into dollars to help our country.
This year, all funds raised will go to help the Ukrainian Ants, an organization of Christian volunteers who do many projects to help, support, and protect internally displaced refugees, families of fallen soldiers, volunteer paramedics, and our military. Their most important project is their 'anthill,' a temporary residence for displaced families from frontline areas who relocate to western Ukraine. They also host camps for children who have lost their parents, for injured soldiers and veterans, and for refugee families. They collect and deliver humanitarian aid boxes to all of these groups, and make trips to encourage various different groups of people near the war zone. Several NewGen families are regularly involved in their work, and we have cooperated with their organization on a number of different projects this past year. You can find more information about what they are doing at the video link below:

THANK YOU for helping us teach our kids to serve others, and supporting our country at the same time!
In Christ,
