Scottish volunteers break aid blockade for Transdniester
A humanitarian mission from Scotland is heading for Transdniester to deliver much-needed aid. A group of Scottish members of the Communication Workers Union have teamed up with other Scots to organize the mission which will help 200 women and children with learning difficulties, who are currently exiled in a hospital ward.One of the volunteers, Dorothy Wilson, from Skelmorlie in Scotland, explained that the unrecognized status of Transdniester means that the country has no access to conventional sources of aid.
Apart from labour union activists, groups which chipped in with support for Transdniester included the parish of St Joseph’s and St Patrick’s.
