​​Under current sanctions, we are only allowed to support PUST with humanitarian aid items, namely food and clothing. Given the delicate nature of our work, we are careful to fully comply with all US rules and regulations pertaining to the region. At present, our efforts are focused on raising funds for PUST’s greatest singular food need – rice.
