Absolutely everyone, both adults and children, was delighted by the magic of creating their own Christmas candles by Olena Orlovska, a workshop on the true art of origami by Yevhenii Dziuba, and creative bracelets by Midgard.education. Everyone took home something made with their own hands – a decoration, an ornament, a candle filled with real holiday spirit.

Our children and youth, mentors, friends, and partners of the Association shared and were filled with kindness, sincere care, joy, positivity, and warmth. We played fun team games, talked a lot, sang, laughed, created, and most importantly – felt each other’s support.

«Participants of the «Nova Spilnota of Ukraine» gladly join the events of the Mentoring Association because the most valuable thing there is — is children, and there are no чужих children, while the mentoring program is a unique project in Ukraine that all conscious people and organizations who want to meaningfully help children and teenagers from vulnerable categories should join. It is a great honor for us to be involved in the events and support the powerful team of the Mentoring Association» – Anna Fesenko
