Summary

MongoDB has donated 20 MacBook Air laptops to the Metropolitan School - Frankfurt (MSF) as part of an initiative to support students, including Ukrainian refugees who are studying there after leaving their home country due to war. The laptops were pre-loaded with MongoDB and will provide technology for learning and staying connected with family and friends. This donation is part of a broader effort by Cyntegrity, a German-based company that has been a supporter of those affected by the conflict, including hiring Ukrainian software developers and making regular donations to Doctors Without Borders. The Metropolitan School - Frankfurt provides daily food supplies for up to 200 refugees per day through its school kitchen, and other ways to support Ukrainian refugees include housing a refugee, volunteering in local efforts, donating to nonprofits, and visiting Global Citizen for various actions to show support.
