Svitlo Camp · A special mission
In the middle of the Svitlo camp, our team of Helge, Don and Alexandru stepped away for a special mission. We drove toward the frontline to cook for the soldiers serving there, then came back to finish the camp.

Pulled pork under the birch trees
We set up our Make a Difference mobile grill under the birch trees and cooked slow-pulled pork burgers for more than 200 soldiers. For a few hours there was smoke from the grill, cold drinks, and soldiers sitting together on wooden benches. Many of them are far from home, and they got a hot meal and a short break from the weight they carry every day.
More than a meal
A meal like this isn't only about food. It's a way of saying: you are seen, you are not forgotten, and people are standing with you. We shared stories, laughter and handshakes, and the men of the Bison group signed their flag and posed for photos with us.
Waterproof Bibles
We also gave waterproof Bibles from Biblica to some of the commanders. These Bibles are made to survive rain, mud and rough conditions, so they can go wherever the soldiers go. We pray that the Word brings them strength, peace and hope in the hardest moments.
Thank you to every supporter and partner who makes trips like this possible. Together, we keep making a difference, one meal and one conversation at a time.
