The “Helping Hand for Ukraine” project of the Charity Foundation “HOPE worldwide Ukraine” cooperated with the “Tepli Doloni” children’s camp implementing its “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” program for the camp participants. The camp took place in early June 2024 at the base of the “Zamlynnya” integration center in Zamlynnya village, Volyn region.
The children of the soldiers of Volyn border detachment of the State Border Service of Ukraine, as well as children with difficult life circumstances, deprived of parental care, who are in foster families lived through the ten days of unforgettable impressions. About fifty children of different ages enjoyed the rich program of the camp: various master classes, fun in nature, sports games, horseback riding, a trip to Lake Svityaz. All this happened thanks to the team of the NGO “PYATERNYA” and with the financial support of the Charity Foundation “Modern Ukraine”. In addition, Iryna Semenenko and Viktoria Parkhomenko, who were counselors in the camp, had the opportunity to conduct “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” therapy sessions. “This program has beautifully blended with ours. Collaboration of art therapy activities is good and necessary. Thank you!” – commented Tetyana Myalkovska, art therapist and head of the NGO “PYATERNYA”.
In the course of the “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” therapy sessions, Iryna Sukhova, the project manager, lead psychologist and supervisor of the “Helping Hand for Ukraine” project, came to the camp and brought the children gifts from the Charity Foundation “HOPE worldwide Ukraine”: backpacks with art-sets that will help children improve their emotional state in the future. She also talked with the trainers about the specifics of working with children who have suffered from war or live in difficult life circumstances. Iryna also noted that the team of our project is happy to cooperate with new partners with whom we are united by caring for the children of Ukraine.
We are grateful to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation for the financial support of the “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” therapy sessions!
