Children from the front-line cities received gifts from the Vadym Stolar Foundation as part of the "Light of Childhood"

The Vadym Stolar Foundation visited front-line cities with the "Light of Childhood" holiday project. Within the framework of the project, children were congratulated and presented with gifts. This event is being held for the second year in a row.

The "Light of Childhood" project was launched last December, and its goal was to support children and create a festive mood for them against the background of constant attacks on the energy infrastructure and protracted blackouts. Benefactors joined the initiative and bought useful and interesting gifts for children, and the Vadym Stolar Foundation supplemented the sets with toys and sweets and sent more than 1,000 packages to the recipients. This year, they decided to repeat the campaign, but in a slightly different format.

"Even in this difficult time, children should have childhood, they should play, receive sweets on holidays, have fun. So we decided to continue last year's "Childhood Light" project, warming children's hearts, but make it more interactive. With the Foundation's team, we bought and packed sweet gifts and went to the regions of Ukraine that suffer the most from shelling and the consequences of the war, where we organized a small holiday for the children. We visited Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia - and were happy to see sincere children's smiles and cheerful laughter everywhere," said Foundation volunteer Nataliya Prykhodko.

Gifts for the holidays were received by children from families cared for by the Vadym Stolar Foundation: IDPs, families of fallen heroes, as well as those who lost loved ones or homes due to the war.

"Children know how to sincerely rejoice at Christmas and New Year's miracles - and we try to make these miracles happen. Because today they are especially needed. Both for children and for us, adults," Vadim Stolar noted.
