The NGO "Gesture of Support" together with the NGO "Bifezda Mission Charity Fund" organized an extremely important and meaningful Christmas vacation for 45 children from Volyn, whose parents died defending Ukraine. This project aims not only to give children the opportunity to relax and enjoy the festive atmosphere, but also to create conditions for them for emotional recovery, development and communication in a circle of like-minded people.

The vacation takes place in a picturesque area in western Ukraine, in the Ternopil region, where children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a winter fairy tale and get a lot of positive emotions.

A rich program for children

The vacation program for children is not only interesting, but also very diverse. During the week, young participants will be able to enjoy activities such as:

Swimming pool – an opportunity to have fun and relax after a busy day.Games and competitions – sports competitions and creative games that promote team spirit and fun.Master classes – various activities that will help children develop their talents and skills in creative areas.Hiking and excursions – walks in natural places that will allow children to enjoy the beauty of the Carpathians and reconnect with nature.

One of the main highlights of this vacation are excursions to the waterfall and caves in the vicinity, where children will be able to see the wonders of nature and get new experiences. Visiting such places will be not only an interesting adventure for children, but also a great opportunity for personal development and broadening their horizons.

Why is it important to support the children of fallen soldiers?

Children who have lost their parents at the front experience the most terrible tragedy – the loss of the most dear person. Therefore, it is extremely important that they feel supported not only by their relatives, but also by a society that cannot forget their pain. Such initiatives give them a chance to restore their emotional state, to rest and to experience childhood in conditions of safety, joy and support.

The team of the NGO "Gesture of Support" is convinced that such events are critically important so that these children do not lose faith in the future and can become part of a strong and united society. Rest for the children of fallen soldiers is not just a gift, it is support that helps them find inner balance, develop and receive new positive emotions necessary for psycho-emotional health.

The importance of support at the state and public levels

This rest is only part of the great work that the NGO "Gesture of Support" carries out to support families who lost their loved ones in the war. At the same time, such initiatives emphasize the importance of supporting the children of fallen heroes at the state and public levels. The loss of a father who defended the country leaves a deep mark on the heart of every child, and that is why it is important for such children to feel that they are not alone, that society cares about their future.

Future initiatives

This holiday was another step towards greater public involvement in supporting the families of fallen soldiers. "Gesture of Support" aims to organize even more such events in the future so that every child who lost a father in the war has the opportunity to receive the necessary support and attention.

Call for support

NGO "Gesture of Support" calls on all those who care to join in supporting children whose parents died defending the country. Together, we can make their lives better and help them grow up to be strong, confident and happy people. Every contribution matters, and even a small amount of help can be a great support for these children who have already experienced a lot.

So, by supporting initiatives like this retreat, we are not only helping children, but also contributing to creating a just and strong future for our country.
