This is taken from the facebook group" Help Save a Park in Ukraine"

"Ukraine is a third-world country, where corruption reigns supreme. And although I come from there and love it, I have a deep concern. The park on the street where I grew up is being torn down to make way for a highrise building for the Donetsk Mafia.

For decades, that park was always a place for meeting friends, climbing trees and generally having a happy childhood. Generations remember playing there and virtually growing up on its' grounds.

There is no way of convincing the mafia to stop the building of that Tower of Doom. Once it will be up, the neighbourhood will virtually fall apart and become voilent. The only views from the people's (and my grandparents') windows will be the cement walls of mafia people and their rich, corrupt families.

If you think that only Africa and China are poor countries, think again. Adopting (by sending money to) a child is great, but why not adopt a neighbourhood?

Why not organize a protest against something unfair and dreadful in its' very root?

The people living in the affected buildings are trying to sew the mafia for taking away the only strip of green land this poor community sees.
But they will never win, because the judges are easily bribed. Help stop this. Help give something back to a community that has been deprived of all joy other than that park!

The land costs 4 million dollars. It is a huge sum that is impossible to collect.
There is no way to ever buy it from the mafia (who aren't the legal owners, but got the land anyways for being, you know, THE MAFIA).

But you can help by joining this facebook group and showing all the evil corrupt mafia people that we aren't afraid.
That Canadians DO care about what's fair. "
