Another warm day at the Children’s Aid Center! A new social and entertainment event took place thanks to the care of the Obolon District Organization of the Red Cross Society of Ukraine in Kyiv and personally Ms. Alla. The children of our Center had been eagerly awaiting this event – and for good reason. Bowling, team spirit, supporting each other, and sincere laughter made this day truly special. For many, it was their first game – with the first strikes, the first victories, and most importantly, a new experience of joy shared with friends. Thank you for the opportunity to give children not ...

At the Children’s Aid Center, a real celebration took place – bright, loud, and full of joy! Thanks to the initiative of Ms. Oleksandra, who represents the company Pharmbills, our little ones took part in a fun quest with animators. Each task was like a separate adventure. The children solved riddles, participated in team competitions, danced, laughed, and supported each other. There was so much energy, joy, and positivity – exactly what our little patients need during treatment. This day gave not just entertainment – it gave the children self-confidence, a sense of teamwork, and faith that ...

Recently, our Center was filled with the aroma of freshly baked pastries, children’s laughter, and creative inspiration! Ms. Oksana and Mr. Roman hosted an incredibly warm and educational workshop for our children. Together, they prepared cookies, combined fillings, rolled out dough, decorated, and painted gingerbread treats. It was more than just a culinary adventure — it was a real school of taste, imagination, and kindness. The children showed creativity, learned to work carefully, be polite, help each other, and improve the skills they had already developed. The atmosphere was light, cozy, ...

Recently, our little ones were visited by very special guests — educators from the National Museum of the Revolution of Dignity, Viktoriia Boiko and Svitlana Skyba. Together, we held a meaningful and inspiring session dedicated to Constitution Day of Ukraine. Both younger and older children at our Center eagerly took part in an engaging discussion — talking about the Constitution, human rights, dignity, freedom, and what it truly means to be a citizen of one’s own country. The highlight of the day was a creative workshop on making Ukraine’s small State Emblem — the Tryzub. Inspired and full ...

Our little Solomiika recently had a very special day — she went to celebrate her younger brother’s birthday. He currently lives in another child support center due to his very young age, but that didn’t stop his sister from coming with an armful of hugs, small gifts, and the warmest wishes. They spent a few joyful hours together — playing, laughing, simply enjoying each other’s presence. This visit felt like a small celebration in the midst of a difficult life. Because Solomiika loves her little brother deeply. And he loves her just as much. We have only one dream: that very soon, they will ...

It’s hard to find the right words to describe who this girl was (and always will be) to us. Emily is a whole world — intelligent, incredibly charismatic, emotionally deep, and open to everything new. A favorite among both children and adults, she was truly the Miss Audience Favorite in our Center. She loves plants and knows more about gardening than many adults. During her stay at the sanatorium, she didn’t just live there — she shone, earning the title Mini Miss 2025. We all gave her a standing ovation. Emily has walked a path full of challenges, but also filled with love. And we are so ...

There are donors without whom it’s hard to imagine the daily life of our Child Support Center — and Jivan Kazaryan is one of them. His help is constant, timely, and generous. At the very first request, without the need for long explanations, he provides our children with large quantities of fresh, high-quality food. Vegetables, fruits, treats — all the best for those who truly need it. For children who have lived through difficult stories, whose childhoods were interrupted, healing often begins with the simplest things: nutritious food, a stable routine, and the feeling that someone genuinely ...

This wasn’t just a trip. It was a powerful chance for a normal childhood — even if only for a few weeks. It was an opportunity for children to see the Carpathians for the very first time — real, majestic, and alive; to hike along trails to waterfalls and fill their lungs with clean mountain air; to swim in rivers and soak up the sun, to take part in sports competitions, creative workshops, and songs around the campfire; to make new friends, learn teamwork, listen and trust — and most importantly, to sleep peacefully. No sirens. No shelling. No shelters. For many, it was their very first ...

The best news of this summer is that our children took part in the “Summer 2025” health and recreation program. We are overjoyed that all our children aged 6 and up were able to travel together for a wonderful vacation in Zakarpattia! For a whole week, a special atmosphere filled our Center — it felt like a “tourist camp”: the children eagerly awaited their journey, caregivers looked for practical suitcases, coordinated every detail with the Children’s Services, searched for funds to cover the transfer, and together — we all celebrated, supported each other, and prepared for a great ...

Recently, we were visited by our dear friend and source of inspiration — Sofia Shamia, Miss Ukraine 2023. Sofia has already become part of our big family. She regularly comes to see the children, sharing her warmth, knowledge, and support, always teaching something interesting and meaningful. This time, we held a heartwarming and emotional meeting together — an art therapy workshop using the “Fluid Art” technique. This is a special creative method where paints flow freely, blend and swirl, creating unique and one-of-a-kind artworks. Each child immersed themselves in the colorful process, ...
