From BBC.com - Ukrainians fear winter chill

We are watching the situation in the Ukraine carefully as Russia is looking at cutting off the Ukrainian natural gas supplies. The winters in the Ukraine are long and hard and most heating is done through natural gas. If the gas supplies run low or run out, then many in the Ukraine could literally freeze to death as other sources of heat are limited and more expensive.

eDOT is working hard in the Ukraine with several partnerships that are getting us access to implement eLearning Centers. Many of the 50 eLearning Centers that we are working on implementing in the next three years will be installed in the Ukraine. Through these learning centers, people will learn valuable computer skills that they would not have been able to get anywhere else. Utilizing these skills allows them to get the jobs that are available in the post-Soviet economy in the Ukraine. This will allow them to be able to afford the increases in natural gas prices that Russia is set to impose and so they can keep warm in the upcoming winters.

Please pray for the Ukraine that they may stay warm this winter and that we can implement many more eLearning Centers there so that they can obtain the much needed computer skills to secure the jobs that are evolving in the new Ukrainian economy.
