Who
are we?

We are three Lithuanians—Tomas Jenkelevič, Eduardas Pontežis, and Antanas Čeponis — who have been on the ground in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began. With every visit, we bring humanitarian aid to those who need it most. But our mission goes beyond just delivering supplies.

We capture the resilience and spirit of the Ukrainian people through videos and photos, showing the world what life is really like in the midst of war. This work is driven by our commitment and funded entirely by us. We are not journalists or professional filmmakers—just ordinary people determined to make a difference.

Our mission is to raise awareness and inspire compassion in Lithuania and beyond. We believe that the stories of those we meet—ordinary people enduring extraordinary hardships—need to be heard. These are not just statistics; they are individuals with hopes, dreams, and families, just like us.
