Priyanka Chopra Meets Young Ukrainian Refugees In Poland And Spends Time With Them In Creating Art

The UNICEF-affiliated actress Priyanka Chopra recently traveled to Poland to meet with Ukrainian conflict refugees. The world-renowned celebrity posted a video clip of herself engaging with the children and women at the refugee center. Along with that, Priyanka wrote a lengthy message discussing the situation. She captioned her post, “The invisible wounds of war are the ones we don’t usually see on the news. Yet, they were so evident to me today as started day 1 of my @unicef mission in Warsaw. 2/3 of Children from Ukraine have been displaced (internally and externally).

This HUGE number is the devastating reality of war, where 90% of the people crossing the border are women and children. 70% of those who have fled crossed the border into Poland and large government-supported Reception Centres have been set up to make the transition as easy as possible. @unicef responded to this emergency by setting up Blue Dot Centres in 11 locations across Poland and 37 across the region, together with @refugees. The Blue Dot Centers play a very necessary role and, in many ways, are a rare safe haven for women, especially children.

They offer so much…. Access to important, relevant information, mental health support, providing mother and baby areas to allow them much-needed privacy, and play areas, which are so critical for kids who come from conflict situations to be able to feel a sense of normalcy. It is predominantly staffed by Ukrainians, including many who have also fled the war themselves.” Priyanka Chopra had a great time with the children and made some art; their fun-loving moments were just fab. On Monday, Priyanka posted a selfie video on her Instagram Stories that included convention centers in the background.

She said in the video, “These are convention centers. There are about five of these which are filled with thousands and thousands of displaced people from Ukraine.” The following videos showed Priyanka hanging out with the kids while they created art. She conversed with a young girl about different nations while drawing something herself. She wrote, “The common thread I have seen among kids fleeing conflict, no matter where that is, is that their art is so similar. Art therapy is used to help kids express their feelings, whether that is love, anger, hope, or fear.” The actress has shared several videos and pictures of her stories and had a great time with the kids and the people.
