Peaceful vacation: children from the front-line areas go to the mountains

Summer is in full swing, and we once again want to give children the experience of mountains, blueberries, stars, and most importantly, peace and quiet. We aim to take teenagers away from the front-line area of Zaporizhzhia for at least a few days, immersing them in a completely different world.

We need approximately 30,000 hryvnias (about 740 US dollars) for train tickets, local transportation, and meals. As of now, we have only about eight thousand hryvnias. Please help us "reboot" the children.

We are leaving in a week, on August 5th. The tickets are reserved and waiting at the box office. Ten boys and girls who escaped from occupied Melitopol dream of peaceful adventures.

We promise to share amazing photos from the journey!
