Culture against bullets

A TOTAL of 32 Ukrainian women who have lost a relative in the war are participating in a psychological rehabilitation programme in Calpe for women who have lost relatives or been attacked or kidnapped in the war in Ukraine. The programme is organised by NGO ‘Cultura contra las balas’.

The women are spending two weeks at La Fossa beach participating in activities supervised by psychologists, therapists and volunteers. They have had spa treatments, excursions to Alicante and Novelda, and tasted the town’s cuisine at local hotels and restaurants. The Red Cross also took them on a hike through Calpe’s salt flats.

This project is possible thanks to groups and residents that have selflessly taken part.

The NGO plants to repeat the programme with children in March.
