An Akron man, who teaches English as a second language, is staying connected with some of his students in Ukraine who continue to face uncertainty one year after the war started.
Mark Merzweiler, 62, was in Ukraine when Russia invaded in 2022. A few weeks later, he reluctantly decided to fly home after helping a Ukrainian teacher and her friend get out of he country.
One of the students who chose to stay in her native country is 27-year-old Nastiya Khamurda, who lives in the city of Dnipro. Merzweiler helps Khamurda match definitions and perfect words while reading stories. Khamurda said her husband was driving on a road last summer when a missile landed less than 1,000 feet from him.
She stressed that even while her country is under attack, no one can take away her knowledge and her desire to learn. She didn't hold back when asked how she felt about Russian President Vladimir Putin.Merzweiler said teaching virtually isn't the same as in person, but he's glad to still have a connection to students that mean a lot to him.
