Добрий день і привіт
Good morning and hello
At Balakun we've been busy making connections between mentors and mentees as you can see here, we definitely have more mentees than mentors but if you have one hour a week to #volunteer you can help a #Ukrainian improve their speaking skills please consider volunteering and check us out at balakun.org
