We arrived in Moldova at the end of February, as soon as the war broke out Ukraine. It was a small group, of six people, but we now have about 35, for reasons we’re seeing in the news,” Sarah explains.

Sarah worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross for five years.

Alvaro Pereira Jr.Was there a story from this war that affected you the most?
Sarah: many, but what moves me the most are the frail old people over 80, from whom we save Ukraine. Suddenly they had to flee their homes because they are close to the front line. And then you have to decide what you should take. I remember a little man who kept looking, looking, and deciding to take just one red suitcase.
Alvaro Pereira Jr.: Because?
Sarah: Sometimes I wake up at dawn and think about it.
