Topic: Superintelligence: No one is smart enough
Our Goal Is ...

to raise €50K that will be spent on the purchase of medical backpacks stuffed with a full range of necessary medical supplies. Providing our defenders with such sets can make a huge difference for them during active combat actions on a front line.

We collaborate with the Leleka Foundation that equips medical professionals. Leleka Foundation, a non-profit organization, was founded in December 2014, when several Ukrainians living in the United States joined their efforts with some volunteer initiatives in Ukraine to procure and distribute medical and first-aid supplies to paramedics, emergency crews, and hospitals in the wake of the 2014 russian aggression in the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea.

Gift sets will be raffled among €100+ donations


We are going to give away two sets of merchandise: one from a Devoxx Ukraine team and another one from the Leleka Foundation.

The two sets will be raffled among all the participants who make a donation of €100 or more:

  • Every €100 gives you one mention in a lottery (e.g. €300 give you three mentions, so the bigger is your donation, the more chances to win a set);
  • All donations from a person are summed up to determine the number of mentions. So, if you have previously donated less than €100, you can make an additional one to step into the lottery.

The sets will be shipped to winners by post (Nova Poshta in Ukraine within the controlled territory, other countries by local courier shipping services). No shipments to russia.

The participant who makes the largest donation will receive a flag of Ukraine signed by medics of the Donbas Special Forces Battalion.

You are rocking!
