Nataliia is a teacher from Bondarivka, Luhansk region. Her community was occupied almost straight away. The teachers divided - some continued working under russian program, while others insisted that it was unpatriotic. Nataliia was among the latter. She moved to the government-controlled territory of Ukraine and continued teaching her class in Ukrainian from there.
She had to overcome the difficulties faced by the majority of displaced people. Top-rank teacher washed floors for 200 hryvnias per day. And now she got back to her favorite job. After all, children need the support of adults more than ever.
