*************************************
All proceeds from this special event will support Help Us Help's "Easter Gifts for the Children of Ukraine" campaign. This campaign is dedicated to bringing joy and hope to children in orphanages and institutions across Ukraine by delivering toys and educational workshops during the Easter season.
About the "Easter Gifts for the Children of Ukraine" Campaign:
Help Us Help has received a generous donation of approximately 850 new toys through the "Unite With Ukraine" initiative of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) and partner organizations.
The toys will be distributed to children in orphanages/institutional settings in various regions of Ukraine. In addition to receiving new toys, the children will participate in Pysanka-writing workshops, emphasizing the preservation of Ukrainian culture and Easter traditions. Younger children will enjoy coloring workshops with Pysanka themes, fostering creativity and learning.
The campaign includes an assessment of the institutions' conditions and needs, gathering information that will inform future support. Help Us Help staff will focus on identifying specific issues or requirements within the institutions. Based on their findings, Help Us Help will compile a detailed report and submit it to the relevant ministries responsible for deinstitutionalization reform programs.
Can't attend but wish to contribute? Donations are warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated.
