The #MacheteProject, is a digital platform to support youth and farmer-led tropical forest restoration movement. The software development project manager is based in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. She has two boys the age of my sons, and we often chat about our kids at the end of our Zoom meetings. Her husband is away, serving in the Ukrainian army. As I watch the news of Putin's army bombing her town today, I am reminded to call my congressperson to urge them to vote for aid to Ukraine. #Ukraine
