The call of the leadership of the Union of Pigeon Federations in Romania to come to the aid of the Ukrainian population, which was difficult during this period, was echoed in many areas of the country. Among them is Olt County, where pigeon fanciers and people of good faith, under the coordination of the Olt Pigeon Fellows Association, have collected and sent to Ukraine a significant amount of aid.

With a heavy truck, provided by the leadership of the Pigeon Union of Romania, from Olt, important quantities of food, as well as items of strict necessity and clothes went to the inhabitants of Ukraine. Both pigeon fanciers and people not involved in this sport have united for this noble cause, and what has resulted is worthy of all appreciation. Through their efforts, many of the people of the neighboring country will more easily bear the brunt of the war. “It was a very important mobilization, which also involved pigeon fanciers, but also their friends or ordinary citizens who wanted to help. We managed to collect clothes, food, sanitary ware, useful things for babies, such as diapers or powdered milk, plus various other things that we thought could help our neighbors in Ukraine. I don’t think we could have done much without the dedicated people who were with us. For this reason, on behalf of the board of directors of the Columbofile Olt Association, I thank everyone “, said Remus Cernătoiu, president of the Columbofile Olt Association. Marius Tunduc, president of UFCR, appreciates the mobilization of Oltenian fanciers and declares that such actions honor the Olt Association and the Romanian pigeon fancier: “I am glad that in an ocean of pain we, the Romanian pigeon fanciers, can bring a drop of relief! I congratulate and thank my colleagues from Olt, who mobilized extraordinarily and showed a lot of compassion and humanity towards the Ukrainian people who were hard hit by this war that is making thousands of victims. We all hope that this misfortune will end as soon as possible, and that life will resume its normal course in the neighboring country that has been hard tried in the last month “.
