Story
Last year, in collaboration with Ukraine ❤️charity, that have been helping underprivileged children in Ukraine for nearly ten years, the Ukrainian community in London and students at Bond English School we managed collectively to fund and organise a two-week summer camp for 60 orphans and children effected by the War, from different regions of Ukraine. Svitlana Pyrkalo was an immense part of the project, thanks to her initiative and fundraising a group of children from Mariupol orphanage also took a part in that summer camp.
The project was known as "Єдина Україна", "Ukraine is One" to highlight the importance of standing together and being the One.
Unfortunately, the conflict in Ukraine is still going and sadly the number of orphans have been growing...
This year we are planning to continue with more projects, helping orphans from all over Ukraine and children from the Eastern war front to have holidays at organised camps in Volyn region and the Carpathian Mountains.
Our partners /volunteers at Volyn have organised three camps each lasting a week for different age-groups for over a hundred orphans. They are planned between the 5th to the 23rd of June and the cost of transportation and sports equipment is estimated to be £900, which will need funding.
Another Summer Camps organised by volunteers from Ivano-Frankivsk for 80 orphans from 1 to 13th of August in Mezhegirya, Zacarpatska region. The aim of this summer camp is to revitalise and help orphans and children that have suffered as a result of the war at the eastern part of Ukraine. Different entertainment, sports and rehabilitation programs have been planned for children as well as English lessons and trips to explore mountains and the lake.
The cost for each child per day is £8 and the camp for 12 nights will cost 240,000 hryvnyas, which is nearly £8000 in total. There is also the cost for groups travelling from different regions of Ukraine has to be covered.
Please help us to give these children the experience of a lifetime, which they would not otherwise be able to have. Sponsor an orphan with a gift of unforgettable summer break.
All your donations are greatly appreciated, even £10-£20 would a big step forward to help make this happen.
Thank you very much!
