“A month has been passed from the death of a marvelous person, a sister, a friend; One of those always positive persons, also in the sickness, that has been taken away from us. I’m talking on my, our President, Aglaia Kozlovska (just Alina for friends). A woman born and lived for her neighbor. Aglaia is that wonderful person who has handled the huge exodus of people, in particular of children, running away from Chernobyl disaster. Someone, and not by chance, used to call her “ the Mother Teresa of Calcutta from the Est”. Oh… She has saved lives… really many lives. Without askining nothing for her. She was a shy and reserved person, but in the same time so addictive.
I owe her so much, specially for where am I now. For sure She was an enlightened person. Who miss to me as to hundreds of people. I would have so much to write on her, really. I promised to me doing that because I want to give to her the proper memory of a woman and wonderful mother, who has embraced with her love many lonely people. Now is the time for crying. I feel a deep haze of loneliness grow around me and a general overwhelming feeling of anger for not been able to help her more. In the last week of September, at the UN New York Headquarters, while a working session of Civil Society was going on, It was observed a minute of silence to remember Aglaia, and what she did for many people.

Goodbye my beloved sister, i wanted to remember you like this, happy (as you always have been)at the exit of Kiev’s ecology minister, after concluding yet another agreement, in favor of the protection of the rural ucrainian families, slaughtered by the improper pesticide use.

Have a good journey Alina!
And if a Beyond exists, enlighten from there our path, give us the force to carry on your battles. I’ve been living so long for that, and so long I’ll live for do that.”

The primary objective of UNITED PLANET is attributable to a sentence of only five words of the great philosopher Voltaire “must transform indignation into reforms”

It was April 26, 1986, and in our country, but it is more correct to say in our world, it happened the worst nuclear disaster caused by human impudence.  Thousands died from a disaster that even today has not finished sowing victims, diseases…

I, like many  others  people , in those days, at the forefront of trying to bring all kinds of support to those who suffer and to those who in time would suffer.

By breaking down all barriers of territorial conflict or political affiliations, immediately, put the machine on international solidarity, which made it possible, to this day, to save many lives and give hope for a better future for a people who have not bowed head, but that he wanted and wants to learn from the experience, a clear sign of hope for their children, future generations, breaking down all geographical boundaries; the same one that was shot down in that year when many European countries, Italy, France, Spain. Germany (but not only…) opened their homes to host our children, now adults, and now their children too, sometimes even unwitting victims of a tragedy that has not been them.

From this experience now almost thirty years and working closely with third sector in various fields of solidarity, we decided in 2010 to turn an NGO that could make full use of the experience of our traveling companions, Italian, French, German Spanish, English … to found an organization that, based on the principle of a necessary economic development with social charitable purposes, could be a stimulus practical and consistent for those countries that have experienced, or become capable of disasters not only like ours, but in any kind of insult to human life that is revealed today in the most diverse situations: conflict, migration, human rights, violence, poverty, health, and environment.

In recent years, we have worked alongside  international institutions (Governments of countries, the United Nations, other organizations of solidarity, but also private, university scholars scientists, philanthropists …) give us the strength to be able to propose that the International Organization for ready accompanying companies, individuals, etc … cultural entities to propose their work, their experience and know-how in these countries, developing, and they affected by natural disasters, or in transition, rather than post-war.

HERE, SO ‘WE OURSELVES…

WE WANT TO TRANSFORM INDIGNATION INTO REFORMS’
