So, friends, are we heading back to school? And back to kindergarten, college, and university too

Some children were looking forward to this day with curiosity and excitement. Others rolled their eyes thinking, “Here we go again…” while nostalgically remembering those late summer mornings.

We congratulate them all on this new chapter in their lives and sincerely wish them an exciting school year filled with memorable experiences, kind people by their side, and as many reasons to smile as possible.

And today, on the occasion of September 1, we would like to ask: how have classes started for your children? Please let us know in the comments which city you are in and whether your children are studying online or in person.

Unfortunately, because of the war, we are once again marking this day under difficult circumstances. Not everyone will be able to sit at a school desk or in a university classroom this year. Yet despite everything, we continue moving forward, one small step at a time: learning, dreaming, making plans, and supporting one another. Because this is exactly what the enemy wants — for us to lose hope, stop thinking about the future, and believe that a normal life is impossible.

But we know that our future lies with our children, and today, more than ever, they need our care, attention, and faith in them.
