REXBURG — The public has an opportunity this Sunday in Rexburg to hear from Andriy Nazarenko, who lives in Ukraine and will do a livestream update on the war, followed by a question and answer session.

The event will be held from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Rexburg Tabernacle, 51 N. Center Street, Rexburg. Admission is free.

Nazarenko grew up in an orphanage in the Ternopil area of Ukraine until 1992 when his orphanage received a grant and he was able to move to Wisconsin. After growing up and obtaining a college education, he decided it was time to help his own people in Ukraine.

He started a nonprofit organization called Orphans’ Future of Ukraine, and today he serves more than 250 orphans in and near Ternopil, as well as refugees fleeing the more dangerous areas of the country.
