We Continue Making Trench Candles with Children from Kunratice Elementary School
Although the current needs on the front have shifted, we are preparing for changing weather and future demands. While we’ve slowed production slightly, we are continuing to make trench candles.
Wax Collection & Supplies Continue
We’re still collecting wax—we don’t want to face the shortages we experienced last year.
We’re grateful to have ongoing support from:
-
Silgan Packaging (Nové Mesto, Slovakia), who continue to supply tins directly from their production lines
-
My brother Martin Riedl, who tirelessly produces the cardboard inserts for the candles, helping us stay efficient
Working with Children – and a Small Setback
We recently worked with the children from Kunratice Elementary School to prepare about 800 candles for pouring. Together, we managed to pour wax into 120 of them.
However, our wax-melting canner broke down. If anyone would be willing to help us replace it, we would be truly grateful.
Needed: A canning pot suitable for melting wax.
Gratitude and Future Plans
Huge thanks to the children and teachers for their help—it was a truly meaningful and productive afternoon.
We’re already discussing further cooperation and currently searching for a space to begin camouflage net production, which is urgently needed on the front.
The drawings by the children, along with their candles, have already been delivered to soldiers on the front lines.
Ongoing Campaign: Off-Road Pickup for Chasiv Yar
We are currently running a Donio fundraiser for an off-road pickup to support a unit near Chasiv Yar, where conditions remain extremely dangerous.
The sooner we can deliver the vehicle, the more impact it will have.

СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ! ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
Bohužel se nám odporouček zavařovací hrnec, pokud by se našla dobrá duše a pomohla by s pořízením nového, budeme vděční.
Jedná se o tento typ: Zavařovací hrnec na roztápění vosku
Děkujeme dětem a paní učitelkám za pomoc, bylo to moc příjemné a užitečně strávené odpoledne, domlouváme se na další spolupráci, sháníme postory pro výrobu maskovacích sítí, které jsou aktuálně na Ukrajině potřeba.
Obrázky dětí i zákopové svíčky od dětí z Kunratické základní školy jsme doručili vojákům na frontu.
Na platformě Donio probíhá naše sbírka na Offroad pickup, předem děkujeme za pomoc se sbírkou !
Potřebovali bychom pomoc doručit co nejdříve, půda v oblasti Časiv Jar je horká, čím dříve pomůžeme, tím větší váhu bude pomoc pro jednotky mít.
Předem moc děkujeme za podporu !
СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ! ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!
