Freedom Day is not just a date on the calendar. It is a symbol of our independence and dignity. For more than a century, this day has reminded us that Belarus lives as long as our desire for freedom lives. And we continue to show the world that we exist.
We are the team of the Belarus 2020 Foundation, organizing the project “Memory Book 2020.” We invite everyone to unite around the idea of documenting and developing the very best that our solidarity gave us during the revolutionary events of 2020. Because memory is the foundation of the future.
The Ethnocultural Center “Svitаnak” was created to teach Belarusian traditions, folklore, and language.

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Anna Fedoronok and Alesya Bunevich, co-founders of the charitable foundation “Pryituliaj Miane” (“Shelter Me”).
