For instance, you can spend your spare time helping organize fundraisers through local nonprofit organizations. You can share links to these local nonprofit organizations to engage more people.

Consider joining a peaceful protest in support of Ukraine in the Philippines. Such protests help immensely to spread awareness about Russia’s war against Ukraine. Another way to help is to encourage employers to offer mental health services to those staff members of Ukrainian descent or who have friends or loved ones in Ukraine.
