Ukraine Charity Fair in Our School in Lviv

Despite the Ukraine war, children from Mariupol, Zaporizhia, and Mykolayiv found refuge on the territory of our "Living Word" school. For two months in a row, they had art therapy in daily needlework classes. They burned wood, painted paintings, decorated bags, made bracelets and decoupage. Some of them were given to good people to make new friends in Lviv. The idea to organize a fair for the needs of refugee children was supported by the government directorate. We thank our partner friends for organizing games, with cookies that raised $600 for refugee children.
