Ukrainian Women's Samovar Nights

'Treat Yourself Well'

On August 30, 2022, the Ukrainian refugees in Tübingen, Germany, were treated to an interesting topic about how to treat themselves well. As women, we often put ourselves at the end of our list of priorities. The presentation in Ukrainian from the DVD Through the Eyes of a Woman by Hannele Ottschofski introduced the topic, offering 15 tips on how to reduce stress and treat ourselves well. The ladies were then invited to pamper themselves with a facial mask treatment in the adjoining room that had been transformed into a beauty salon. For a little while at least, they were able to forget all their worries about what is happening in their home country and laugh and have fun.
The Samovar Nights have been organized every two weeks since the first refugees came almost six months ago and will continue as long as needed. The concept is simple: tea and something to nibble at, a topic from the DVD, and some creative activity.
We are happy that our Ukrainian sisters and their families have become a part of our church life, making their impact in many ways.
