The threat of ballistic missiles and UAVs. Winter. Cold. No electricity. Air-raid alerts again change plans and the rhythm of the day. And our wonderful artist Tetiana and I are sitting in a bomb shelter and drawing. Right here and now. On our knees, under artificial light, between alerts and phone notifications. We draw because it is what holds us. What does not let us stop. What reminds us: we are alive. In moments like these, you feel especially sharply the value of simple things - the silence between sirens, the ability to be together, to do something creative even in the least adapted conditions. ...

Recently, a true miracle happened at our Center: three of the children in our care went to families. Zlata is now with her biological relatives. And Varia and Polia, as of today, are in a friendly family-type children’s home. It is especially touching that this family is already raising our children who were with us before the war - so it is not just a new home, but familiar hearts and proven love. We are letting you go with light hearts and great faith. May each of you have a childhood with hugs, calm, support, and laughter. We wish all our little stars happiness, health, and growing up in ...

We are starting this year not with plans - but with snow under our feet. With laughter that can be heard from afar. With jackets that are already wet, and snowballs that matter more than any words. Today, in the City of Happy Children, it’s an ordinary winter day. The children are playing. And that may be the best sign for the start of the year. May this year for each of us be made up of simple joys and moments when it feels good just to be. Peaceful skies. And boundless gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine - for allowing children to live their childhood at ...

Another year behind us. A difficult, anxious year, yet one filled with people who were there and did not let kindness disappear even in the hardest moments. Thank you to everyone who supported the Children’s Help Center throughout this year. Thank you to everyone who supported the Children’s Help Center throughout this year.

A day when communication knows no boundaries, and kindness knows no age. We visited the “The Power of Kindness” residential home for the elderly and service members with limited mobility, and this time the children came as volunteers. They played together, talked with grandmothers and grandfathers, held creative workshops, laughed, and listened to stories. They made gifts with their own hands - and warmly presented them together. Together we decorated the Christmas tree, creating a real Christmas atmosphere of home and care. For the children, it was an unforgettable experience - about empathy, ...

The children of our Assistance Center recently tried themselves in two completely different but equally exciting adventures — roller skating and karting. At the Turbo Rollerdrome Karavan roller rink some children put on roller skates for the first time, kept their balance, and made their small victories on wheels. There were falls, laughter, and incredible excitement! We thank the whole team and the manager Andrii for the warm welcome and support. And at the INGUL KART karting center the children were met with speed, adrenaline, and the feeling of real racing! Each child felt like a little pilot, ...

They bring with them light, inspiration, and calm. Such is our incredible volunteer, artist, and friend of the Center — Tetiana. When she enters the room — the children immediately reach out to her. In her hands there are paints, brushes, paper — but the most important thing she brings is faith in oneself. With her the children are not afraid to make mistakes, are not shy about their fantasies, do not hold back their imagination. Every drawing next to her becomes a story — alive, bright, real. Tetiana has an amazing gift for seeing the artistic potential in every child. And even those who first ...

When Hennadii — our regular guest, creator, and master of clay figures — comes to the Center, something special immediately appears in the air. The silence of the room is replaced by the rustle of palms kneading clay and children’s laughter in which true admiration can be heard. Hennadii does not just teach how to sculpt. He helps children see how from a soft shapeless piece a beast, a bird, a person is born — a whole little world created with their own hands. Each figurine is a story, a fantasy, an emotion. Often the children even give them names, invent adventures, tell where their clay ...

While someone is drawing, someone is playing in the yard, and someone is tidying up the rooms — real magic reigns in the kitchen. The children cook lunch together: they laugh, help each other, try new roles — someone mixes the ingredients, someone sets the table, and someone simply enjoys the feeling of creating something with their own hands. Such moments teach warmth, care, and trust. And we sincerely thank our volunteers and benefactors — it is thanks to your support and help with food products that the Center always smells like home. Meanwhile, life is also in full swing outside — ...

There are people who simply cannot help but create good. They come not only with gifts — but with warmth, attention, and sincerity that cannot be forgotten. For our children such a person is Sofiia. Our constant benefactor, ambassador, and true friend of the Center. The festive days organized by Sofiia began with a trip to the cinema. The children waited for this moment with great anticipation — with smiles and a sparkle in their eyes. There was a lot of laughter, discussions, and shared photos after the movie. The atmosphere of lightness and joy remained for a long time. After the cinema, Sofiia ...
