New Year's miracles must come true!
On December 28, 2023, a New Year's celebration was held for 92 internally displaced children living in temporary accommodation facilities.
Various locations were set up for the event: workshops on making Christmas decorations and toys; active games with favorite fairy-tale characters; transforming into superheroes with face paint; delicious croissants, pizza and
popcorn.
In the end, the children met St. Nicholas, to whom they recited poems and presented drawings. In memory of the holiday, the kids received nice gifts and the opportunity to "light up" at a snow disco.
The feeling of warmth and care, support and positive emotions are the most valuable gifts. Let us remember this and create pleasant memories for children in the future.
We express our gratitude to our partners who made this event even bigger and more magical.
