The spark of childhood

We know how difficult the childhood of young Ukrainians is today and how much they need positive emotions. Therefore, we try very hard to make their mood high and create a fabulous atmosphere for them. Be sure to follow our social media pages so you don't miss registration in your city.

The third stage of the 2024 project

Our holiday mission "Light of Childhood"-2024 has been successfully completed! You can watch a video from our fire on our Youtube.

We started registration for participation in the project in November, purchased and packaged sweets. In order to go to children from five cities of Ukraine at the beginning of December - to Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv and Odesa.

In total, our volunteers distributed 5,000 gifts. This year we congratulated:

• children of fallen defenders, prisoners and missing soldiers;
• children from large and low-income families.

The children not only received goodies from the Vadym Stolar Foundation, but also took part in a cozy celebration that we held for them. Festive mood and positive emotions were given to children by our wonderful animators - Santa and Christmas tree.

The visit of our "Light of Childhood" to each city became a real emotional support for children in these difficult times, gave them joy and left pleasant bright memories in their memory.

Kharkiv became the first city to welcome our holiday mission "Light of Childhood". We talked, congratulated the children on the holidays. And, full of positive emotions, they went on.

The second city visited by our "Light of Childhood" was Dnipro. We invited the children to provide emotional support, to give the feeling of the holiday and, of course, the delicious gifts that we so carefully prepared for them.

Our "Light of Childhood" visited Mykolaiv as well! My children and I had a great time, despite the weather, which tried to spoil our meeting.

And where else has our "Light of Childhood" been? In Odessa! Our holiday mission accomplished an important task: we congratulated children on the holidays and delighted them with sweet gifts. And she left wonderful memories and photos with Santa and the Christmas tree.

We are grateful to everyone who came to our festive events, who hugged and thanked us for our work. They are happy that they gave the little ones joyful emotions in these extremely difficult times.

The second stage of the project is 2023

The next stage of the project began in December 2023. It was held in a completely different format: together with sweet gifts, we brought them a good mood and an incredible New Year's atmosphere. Our irreplaceable cheerful animators helped us create a holiday that was memorable for both children and adults. We got to know each other, talked, laughed and took pictures with the children. And they tried to do everything so that they could feel joy and carefreeness in the midst of hard everyday life.

Our team, having previously collected applications from families, visited Ukrainian cities that regularly suffer from shelling and the consequences of war: Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv.

The fund provided sweet gifts to the children of the privileged categories it cares for: IDPs, families of fallen heroes and those who lost relatives or homes due to the war.

Also, sweet gifts from our Foundation for the New Year's holidays were received by the students of the Art School of the Krasnograd district of the Kharkiv region, who greeted us with a festive concert. Our magical "Light of Childhood" was able to bring joy to these gifted children!

We are proud of our people who bravely hold on and support each other. And they are happy that they were able to warm little children's hearts with the glow of the "Light of Childhood".

The first stage of the project is 2022

The first stage of the project started in November 2022, when our country suffered from enemy missile attacks and tried to function in conditions of regular blackouts. It was the constant blackouts that prompted the Foundation's team to cheer up young Ukrainians and give them pleasant surprises for the New Year holidays.

At that time, the Foundation set itself the goal of lighting the flame of hope in every child's heart for St. Nicholas, uniting with all caring Ukrainians. Everyone who wanted to become a benefactor had to buy and send to the Foundation's address supplies for children's creativity or any pleasant and useful surprises for children, adding a card with holiday wishes. And we sorted the received, added sweets to it and sent gifts to the children of IDPs who are cared for by the Foundation. In total, more than 1,000 children's gifts were sent in 2022.
