Most recently, she shared new photos connecting with refugee children in Poland. The 40-year-old just finished an emotional trip, working with UNICEF to help mothers and children who fled from the war in Ukraine. Chopra used her social media presence to deliver an emotional message on Instagram about the trip, shared alongside photos of herself spending time with young boys and girls at various Blue Dot and educational centers in the region. A few pictures include Chopra laughing and doing activities with the kids, while the rest focus specifically on the children creating art or blowing bubbles outside. The accompanying message focused on the psychological impact of war on refugees, especially children, describing how UNICEF made teams of psychologists available to the refugees. Chopra wrote: “One of the most effective tools in helping children regain a sense of normalcy is playful interaction. It sounds so simple, but through play, children can find safety and respite, while also being able to explore and process what is happening in their lives.” She continued by describing specific ways the children use play and art as therapy, saying, “The kids I met on this mission love working with art. Coffee beans, salts and regular household items are used for art therapy and sensitivity therapy. When they work with different materials, as well as paints and colors, the therapists are able to understand their emotions.” Chopra also mentioned the handmade dolls the children made and gifted her, which are “believed to have the power of protection.” The actor shared another post on Instagram soon after, telling the story of one mother who was forced to leave behind her husband and parents in Ukraine to get her son to safety.
