Willingness to help in war

War in Ukraine continues. What does it mean to help right in a combat zone?

The film "Willingness to help in war" illustrates the environment of current Eastern Ukraine in 2018 through the volunteer activity of the main protagonist Michal Kody Kislicky, the founder of the humanitarian organization "Willingness to help" focused on social, material and spiritual assistance. 2014 Michal left his native city Brno and the work of an electrician and set out to find a new sense of life. Michal arrived at Eastern Ukraine in the beginning of the war, where he helps with his own hands the needy in the combat zone. How difficult is being present in the environment of everyday indigence, what do you need to know, and is it possible that you could handle it yourself too?
