Step forward, 2021

Parents and the chairman of the Donetsk public organization of disabled people, disabled children and their families named ‘Step Forward’ contacted the ‘Donbass Humanitarian Aid’ Fund with a request to sponsor their holiday FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CHILD PROTECTION DAY. Of course, we responded, because the most joyful thing for any normal person is to give joy to children, especially in such a difficult time of the ongoing war. For 50 children on a sweet table, we bought a box of apples, bananas, cookies and waffles in chocolate. We also prepared 50 gift bags, where we put a set of colored paper, a set of 12 felt-tip pens, a set of 5 colored ink pens, and two notebooks with 36 sheets each. Which both children and their parents were glad to have! And the holiday itself, based on a children’s fairy tale in the poems of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky “Buzzy-Wuzzy Busy Fly” was held simply by wonderful creative workers of the Palace of Culture named after Kirov. We ourselves enjoyed watching them work with children. Leading in the role of the Bee was unique, and the exciting dance-battle of the Mosquito with the Spider completely absorbed the attention of all those present!

We thank to everyone who pitched in and call on all caring people from all over the world to join our team to help the innocent victims of the war in Donbass, primarily children. Of course, the more opportunities we have, the more people who are disadvantaged because of the war, we can all help together. Join us! Only together we are strong!
