Tetiana Biliaieva (pictured) is an active leader of the Dykanka community in Poltava oblast. She implements environmental projects in her community involving young people. Tetiana also has credibility and trust among the parents of her students, who often turn to her for advice and help. One of them is Halyna**, an IDP from Kharkiv who now lives in the village of Velyki Budyshcha, Poltava oblast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She suffered from diabetes and wanted to know what medical benefits she was entitled to as an IDP, including whether she could get free glucose test strips.<\/p>\n\n\n
