Two Ukrainian associations unite to hold a charity event in Naples

A charity lunch was held in Naples to mark Mother’s Day, bringing together the Ukrainian community and friends of Ukraine in an atmosphere of warmth, unity and solidarity. The event was organised by the CRASA and Dateci le Ali associations at the ‘Anastasia’ restaurant.

According to UA Service HUB, the main aim of the event was to present and promote Ukrainian culture in Naples, showcasing its beauty, depth and traditions through art, poetry and traditional dress. The guest of honour for the evening was Oksana Shoorlemmer, a designer and volunteer from Germany, who presented her book ‘Mama’s Shirt’ and a unique collection of embroidered shirts. Oksana Shoorlemmer’s collection provided a wonderful opportunity for guests to gain a deeper understanding of Ukrainian culture, the symbolism of embroidery and the fusion of tradition with contemporary art.

A distinctive feature of the works was the combination of traditional Ukrainian embroidery with poetry, which gave each piece a special meaning and emotional depth. During the event, a prize draw and a charity raffle were organised for the guests. Participants had the opportunity not only to support a good cause but also to spend the evening in a cosy and friendly atmosphere. Media support for the event was provided by the Italian office of BusinessWomen magazine.

Incidentally, two representatives of the magazine were present at the event – Oksana Shoorlemmer and Zhanna Zhukova, who is also the president of the CRASA APS association. The evening took place in a warm atmosphere of unity, support and solidarity, proving once again that Ukrainian culture is capable of bringing people together in different corners of the world.
