Liubov Nepop, Ambassador of Ukraine:
“It was my honour to attend the St. George’s Day celebration in Budapest, which was a well-organized, high-level event. The atmosphere of unity that prevailed at the event was amazing. I was among true friends, who while celebrating England’s national day showed support to my country and Ukrainians, who are suffering the terrible consequences of brutal aggression. I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to XpatLoop.com for their hard work in organizing the event, and to all the guests for their donations to UNICEF as well as for standing with Ukraine.”

Dominic Arbuthnott, Chartered Accountant:
“Well done, you did England proud! As expected, the team at Xpatloop.com put together a slick and enjoyable St George's Day event - as the English finally got around to celebrating the good bits of being Angol, including cricket and indie music. With a raffle and auction helping Ukraine via UNICEF, the event had a good cause as well as allowing for the booze to flow in the best English Saturday-night tradition.”
