We were invited to the farm, where we not only got to play and have fun outdoors, but also made delicious buns. Hospitable friends invited us into the kitchen, where everyone took part in the cooking process. The kids were satisfied and ...

We often take the kids for walks on the weekends. And don't wait to walk ❤ We can all get on our bikes together (we thank our benefactors for the gifts and such cool transportation!) and go to the neighboring town. Beautiful views, fresh ...

Every day is a little adventure. The little ones always have plans 😍 to run around outside, play with their favorite toys, eat some goodies, talk to their friends ❤ A photo report from one day of the first ...

Rosa, a theatrical director, works with the children. She is the most talented person we have met on our way. Her energy, kindness and inner light are not just charged. Rosa opens all the talents and inner worlds of each child, gently wrapping this in theatrical performances. It all started with short meetings, where Rosa gave schematic tasks and taught acting. Subsequently, the children began to open up and willingly prepare big stories and plays. Rosa inspired and helped to put on the play, to which we invited our friends and benefactors who supported us all the time. The children's number ...

In a new city with new classmates. We were welcomed as relatives and the support of the teachers helped the children a lot in adapting. Now it's hard for everyone who was evacuated from Ukraine, but thanks to concerned people our charges manage to overcome many obstacles and meet any tests with a smile. Now the vacations are over, and in September we will be back at the German school ...

This war took away our home, our orphanage and the City of Happy Kids Center, where we put our hearts and souls for 15 years. Our home is now empty, devoid of children's laughter, our children and life. And children together with their educators were forced to flee literally under bullets on February 24 when Russian troops started attacking Kiev. But despite the war, we need to maintain our home, which we will be returning to very soon. We remember the first hours with horror... But our heroic staff did the possible and impossible to save the lives of our wards, taking them back to their native ...

That moment has arrived. The older children went to a German school. Integration will be very gentle, because we formed a separate class for Ukrainian-speaking children with the German language (for which we are infinitely grateful to everyone involved!). Today is the first day. It is very exciting, but no less interesting and exciting. We wish our children new achievements, knowledge and new class ...

Studying and knowing the history of your country is a moment of self-identification, belonging to the Motherland. Even from childhood children should be taught to think critically and independently, to analyze the past and present, to use historical experience to address contemporary issues and problems. It is the same with art, culture and literature. They help to instill a love for the language, customs, and traditions of Ukrainians. After the outbreak of war and the evacuation of children abroad, our Natalia took on a huge mission - to inspire children to study the history and literature of ...
