The Story of the Washing Machine

What can one washing machine change in a war? One new industrial washing machine provides decent washing facilities for the women at the hospital in the village of Ripky. It ensures hygiene and cleanliness for doctors, patients, and children from nearby schools. It restores faith that good people still exist, and shows that even seemingly small acts can bring hope in the midst of a cruel war.
