Recently, a delegation from Vinnytsia visited Nancy (France) and Karlsruhe (Germany) to take part in a charity event aimed at helping children affected by the war in Ukraine. The visit was also aimed at strengthening international relations and solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
As part of the initiative, a children's crafts fair was held, with proceeds going to help the “Give New Year's mood to children from frontline cities” campaign, which aims to improve the lives of children who have lost peace and tranquility due to the war.
“These simple things can become not only gifts, but also symbols of support and attention from the international community,” said Dmytro Myra, director of the VinSmart Center.
Representatives of local communities, charitable organizations and other caring people were actively involved in collecting gifts that will soon be delivered to Ukrainian children from the frontline areas.
“This initiative is an important step towards showing that humanity and kindness have no borders. We are grateful for the support provided by our partners from France and Germany. Children who have survived the war should receive our attention and support, and such events help not only to bring joy but also to remind the whole world that we all need to stand in solidarity in such a difficult time,” said Dmytro Myra.
The visit also included charity fundraisers in Nancy and Karlsruhe, which were accompanied by cultural events. At the events, local residents had the opportunity to get to know Ukrainian culture better. Presentations, concerts, exhibitions, and open workshops were an important part of the initiative, which helped to unite people around the charity even more.
“We want these gifts to become not only material aid, but also a manifestation of humanity and support from our European friends. All these toys and books are a symbol of the fact that there is still hope for a better future and that we do not leave children from the frontline areas alone with difficulties,” said Nina Pyliavets, a teacher at the VinSmart Center.
