The corona field beds have barely folded in or we are facing another crisis. It is March 6, 2022, the municipality calls: many Ukrainian refugees are coming our way. Something has to be done. Can De Regenboog Groep help? Experienced at plugging holes, we are immediately on standby. Especially for the Ukraine shelter, we recruit volunteers and find Hotel Savoy willing to open its doors. More locations follow that we run. In total, in nine locations, we provide sleeping space for eighteen hundred refugees.
The well-known director duo Peter and Petra Lataster, known for The children of juf Kiet, follow three women in our Ukraine shelter in Weesp with their camera. Their moving documentary premiered at the 2024 IDFA: All is Well. In Ukraine, everyone says: wse garazd. All is well. It is a saying, meant to encourage yourself and not to worry the other person.
