Svenskbyborna Association
Föreningen Svenskbyborna was founded in 1954.
When the association was formed, one of its tasks was to promote the publication of the history of the villagers of Gammalsvenskbyn.

Other ways to support Ukraine
There are many other ways to support Ukraine and Ukrainians and a good way is to buy Ukrainian goods or to buy from those who in turn donate part of the profits to Ukraine. You get goods and products that you want or need anyway and Ukraine gets a share of it. Win-win!
Here are some examples, if you have more tips, please leave a comment!
The March Initiative
The March Initiative sells coffee, tea and chocolate from Ukraine. By buying from them, you directly support the Ukrainian economy. In addition, the profits are also used to purchase products etc. that are in demand in Ukraine and when they have collected and purchased, they also make sure to deliver to Ukraine.
