- Multifaceted Media Campaign Poised to Help Ukraine for the "Long Haul" -

NEW YORK, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AIM Tell-A-Vision® Group (AIM TV), producers of the nation's most-watched travel show, Raw Travel®, announced "Let Freedom Ring in Ukraine" to help Ukrainian refugees. The multi-platform and multi-faceted initiative will provide grassroots, long-term financial, and tangible assistance to externally and internally displaced Ukrainian refugees and citizens affected by the Russian invasion.

In June, producer, and host, Robert G. Rose will be filming in Paris, France, and then at the border of Poland and Ukraine with Raw Travel videographer and displaced Ukrainian refugee Anastasia Zui. Conditions permitting, they hope to go into Ukraine embedded with "Keep the Kids Learning" and "Help 4 Ukraine," two small, independent organizations founded by American logistics engineer Joseph Nichols, living in Ukraine, and other Expatriates. The grassroots organizations are dedicated to helping keep Ukrainian refugee children and teachers in school and moving needed medicines and medical supplies from the US and Europe into Ukraine.

On July 2nd and 3rd, 2022 just before USA Independence Day, Raw Travel will premiere a special episode entitled "Let Freedom Ring in Ukraine." The special will feature updated, relevant Ukrainian segments that showcase the country before the 2022 invasion, along with updated narration and ways viewers can help. The episode will re-air on August 27th-28th.

"Raw Travel offered valuable context to viewers when filming in Ukraine and the border areas of Russian-occupied Georgia in 2019," said Robert G. Rose, Executive Producer and Host of the series. "Given our past coverage of Russian aggression's consequences in both Georgia and Ukraine, we feel we can offer a unique perspective," Rose continued. "I think we can show a different, potentially more uplifting angle of this tragedy that may inspire people to help the many good folks and organizations helping Ukraine on the ground, long after the raw emotion of Russia's 2022 invasion has subsided, but the need persists."

The "Let Freedom Ring in Ukraine" effort has already begun in a limited capacity with on-air billboards and social media posts encouraging viewers to visit RawTravelGiveBack.com. The special web page is a constantly evolving, dedicated entry point for concerned viewers. There, they can get updates about Ukrainians featured in the show and donate directly to vetted organizations or buy specially designed Raw Travel "Let Freedom Ring in Ukraine" merchandise (shirts, mugs, glasses, etc.) benefitting the efforts of these organizations.

Raw Travel's milestone Season 10 begins September 19th, 2022. A trailer of Raw Travel's Let Freedom Ring episode can be viewed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl88AHSCsGo
