Nadya and Khrystyna have got a family!

There is a pleasant moment at the Centre of Social Care – two sisters Nadiya and Khrystyna are adopted! Now they have new loving father and mother and also three more brothers and one sister!

We are very glad, that these small girls will now grow in and develop in full family.
When they have just come to “Otchiy Dim”, they were very frightened. Khystina was crying all the time; she didn’t want to play with other children at all, and was closed. Nadya didn’t talk to anyone, mostly she was quiet, didn’t reply even when she was asked what her name is. When we were getting ready to celebrate their Birthdays, it turned out that don’t even know what that is, as they have never celebrated it before. The girls have gone through hunger, vagrancy and fear.
As time went by the girls have stated to blossom – they’ve started to play with everyone, became very active and sociable, more open to caregivers, and felt more self-esteemed.

This autumn Khristina will go to her first grade at school. As their new mother was sharing her emotions she said: “We all feel like the girls have always been a part of our family, then they have just been gone for some period and they are back home”.

“Clear heart – clean city”

On the eve of celebrating the holiday of bright Christ’s birthday in the Petrivske village was held the action “Clear heart – clean city”.

Every year getting ready for celebration we organize a small cleaning day. This time it was on Friday, at 4 pm we gathered by the village council building in a good mood, all the caregivers and children of Father’s House, members of local “Salvation” church and even our friends – volunteers from Sweden.

Roman Korniyko divided all people into groups, and gave everyone an area and work to do. In few minutes the work was started – children were carefully gathering trash into bags, gathering broken branches, raking up the ground. And soon it stared to rain, the works were not stopped, but the very opposite they gained some excitement and interests. It’s hard to imagine that on such a small territory 300 bags of trash were gathered!

A little wet, but very pleased with results of their work children and adults came back to Otchiy Dim, were everyone was offered delicious pizza and hot tea.

After such efforts in cleaning the street, you will think over should you litter again?

“Shvydko” restarurants help “Otchiy Dim”

On April 2, at the net of “Shvydko” fast-food restaurants the charity action “Let’s help together” has been started, thanks to which sport ground for “Ochiy Dim” will be finally built.

Everyone who during the period of April May will come to the “Shvydko” restaurants to taste their favorite Ukrainian dishes can join to this good deed.

From every paid bill 5 kopeykas will be taken to the fund of playground building. And for those who would like to make a personal input – special “Magnets of Kindness” are prepared, five Hryvnas each!
So, have a good meal and see you!

Happy Easter!
