Ukrainian children head back to school in a country marked by war
It was the first day of school in Ukraine, where about 2,300 educational institutions have been damaged and nearly 300 destroyed.
1st of September. Knowledge Day . There are festive preparations for school, laughter, the joy of meeting friends and new adventures.
⠀ War, destruction, shelling dictate their conditions for children and parents in Ukraine.
According to the UN only on the 100th day of the war:
❗️262 children died
❗️415 children injured
❗️1735 children lost their parents
🏘 272 out of 706 orphanages, 12,984 children were evacuated to safe areas.
On average, on the territory of Ukraine, every day, 2 children die and 4 children are injured.
These are terrible figures behind which children's hearts, tears and suffering are hidden.
However, Faith and Love help us to make something GOOD for children!⠀
Children of the orphanage Do Vira in Ukraine and wards of the Charity Foundation Umbrella of Ukrainian Hope (UHH) in Philadelphia are in the good hands of educators, volunteers.
The UHН helps children in this difficult time of life, fill their souls with light, and reduce and preserve the disease in their minds, the ability to rejoice, love, trust themselves and the world and learn to reduce the severity of the load.
The kids don't get discouraged! Thanks to our common efforts, they have well learned the secret of earthlings:
A person is strong in spirit when he knows how to rejoice and keeps love, mercy and hope in his heart!
Do Vira's children live in the hope of connecting to online lessons and going to school. There are 48 pupils of different ages study at the Do Vira orphanage. They do not have the laptops or tablets they need to participate in online classes.
We actively collect donations to ensure the learning process and will be grateful for any financial and informational support!
The war will end sooner or later! Ukraine should have healthy, well-educated children whose hearts will be filled with love, mercy and kindness.
They will continue the path of freedom and create a happy, peaceful Ukraine!
If my words have touched your heart and you are ready to help these children, you can:
