Sarah Ferguson travelled
to Poland last week to continue her remarkable philanthropic work helping to
support displaced Ukrainian refugees.
In a bid to strengthen the
work of local communities, the mum-of-two visited the likes of Dąbrowa
Górnicza and Rudy where she carried out awe-inspiring charity
work backed by her very own initiative, Sarah’s Trust.
Emphasizing the importance of
education, the 62-year-old gifted a blind refugee student with a brand-new
computer. Overcome with joy, the young student was seemingly delighted by
Sarah’s act of generosity. Later, Sarah revealed that her charity had in fact
secured enough money to fund £14,000-worth of computers.
Speaking of her charitable
work, Sarah said: “Since March, when the war started, we have been
very present in supporting the Polish people [as they aid] refugees from
Ukraine. My job is to support the Polish people who have been so kind to
me.”
Sharing the news via her
Instagram, Sarah added: “My charity @sarahs_trust is doing all it can to
help, sending in articulated lorries with humanitarian aid including food,
books and shoes to bordering towns.
“I have had three of my
own children’s books translated into braille for a group of children who are
members of a truly inspiring blind choir.”
Building on the remarkable
work of her charity, Sarah moreover helped to erect a collapsible ‘tea
tent’ designed to host refugee children across Upper Silesia. The cleverly
crafted structure features an array of different tents designed to enhance the
development and well-being of young Ukrainian refugees.
From reading tents, to play
areas and designated baking zones, Sarah’s ‘Play in a Box’ will support the
local communities long into the future.
Reflecting on her first ever
‘Play in a Box’, Sarah remarked: “I’m so proud today, it’s a very big
moment for me!”
Prince Andrew’s former wife
has travelled to Poland on three occasions since Ukraine’s war with Russia
first broke out in March. Indeed, she became the first member of the extended
Royal family to travel to Poland to support local communities.

Fergie also visited Poland back in March
Following her emotional visit
in March, Sarah penned: “The invasion of Ukraine is heartbreaking to
watch. It is unbearable to see families being separated and civilians being
caught up in the bloodshed.
“I have always believed
the smile of a child is the most important thing in the world, so to see so
many children caught up in this crisis is particularly affecting.”
