We are continually amazed at the creativity of those working to aid the nation and people of Ukraine. In the wake of many attacks on the power infrastructure, many businesses and facilities have partial or no power throughout much of the day. Businesses that can afford generators are sourcing them wherever they can.
One such example of this creativity is a team of individuals with the ACS Church here in Slovakia sourcing generators for orphanages and senior care centers. But these not your usual, 1500-5000 watt roll-around gasoline (or diesel) generators (though those are useful and being used as well).
No … in this case they are sourcing generators large enough (10-50 kVA) to power the whole facility. And where are they finding (and able to afford) these large generators? In former cold war bunkers in the Czech Republic. Yes … bunkers that were designed, built, and outfitted with these large generators for the cold war.
And these generators which have sat (and not run) for years, and being re-started, checked out, purchased, and shipped into Ukraine to provide heat and light in large facilities housing children and seniors. God is so creative, and that creativity is helping some of the neediest in a country desperate for resources right now.
