CDC Director Hosts Ukrainian Students for Orthodox Christmas Celebration
Last August, the Centers for Disease Control Regional Director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Dr. Charles Vitek, hosted 12 amazing Ukrainian technical students to hear about their experiences in Ukraine, escaping the war, finding new opportunities in Georgia, and their plans to support Ukraine after Russia is defeated. On January 7th, Dr. Vitek and his family opened their doors once again to these students to share the spirit of the holiday season in celebration of Orthodox Christmas. Their courage, intellect, and charisma were absolutely inspiring, and the Embassy remains thankful for the important work of organizations like the Safe haven Initiative and the support they receive from USG.. We are proud to engage with them and will continue to support them during this difficult time.
