Care in Action is helping vulnerable children forced to flee their homes due to the fighting on the front, in partnership with the charitable organization Maxymum in Dnipro. These children are separated from their parents, far from home, and in the temporary care of a relative or volunteer. Care in Action is employing a full-time Social Worker, offering activities to children and guardians, and providing aid such as food and clothes to meet the children’s basic needs.
The festival is a flurry of fun activities designed to help children discover new interests, showcase their talents and build self-esteem, and there are special workshops for caregivers too.
Care in Action was proud to host 128 parents and children in 2 four day camps designed to improve the quality of foster parenting through support and training events.
“Perhaps for the first time ever,” noted Youth Worker, Yaryna Ponizhay, “I witnessed how adults, all very influential people in L’viv, were listening to the children.”
How can children in care prepare to earn a living? There are plenty of ways and everyone needs to find their own. But a couple of universal skills top the list for paying back future value, and one of these is good working English.
