Gifts Received by Over 5,000 Children from Frontline and de-occupied areas

До різдвяно-новорічних свят діти із різних регіонів України отримали від фонду «Голоси дітей» пакунки із солодощами й іграшками.
3500 подарунків команда фонду вручила дітям-ВПО з Торецької, Авдіївської, Рубіжненської та інших громад. Також близько 2000 пакунків отримали діти з деокупованого Херсона та діти військовослужбовців.
44 подарунки фонд «Голоси дітей» зібрав спільно з мешканцями та гостями Києва в рамках проєкту «Пакунок тепла». Упродовж грудня кияни могли залишити подарунки в наших боксах, розміщених у найбільших торговельно-розважальних центрах міста.

«Багато українських дітей через війну були вимушені покинути свої рідні домівки. Дехто живе в прифронтових містах, навколо яких точаться жорстокі бої. Цими солодкими подарунками ми хотіли підтвердити, що дитинство і його найкращі миті тривають навіть під час війни», — розповіла керівниця гуманітарного напряму Алла Ширшина.

August at Voices of Children: Youth Retreat, Celebrity Visits, and the End of the Camp Season

August was a really eventful month at the Foundation, even as Russian attacks across Ukraine intensified and children and their families spent many nights in shelters. Sessions continued at our regional centers, along with outreach visits to communities. For the first time, alumni of all our art residencies came together in the Carpathians, while Liev Schreiber and Katheryn Winnick visited our Kyiv center. Well-known Ukrainians read poems by our teenagers, the “Thread” photo exhibition set off on a tour through Ukrposhta branches, the summer camp season came to an end, and together with the band Hyphen Dash, we completed a fundraiser for psychological support. Here is a closer look at each of these events.

“Hold Fast to Life”: Actress Katheryn Winnick Meets Ukrainian Children Affected by the Russian War in Kyiv
Canadian actress and director of Ukrainian descent, best known for her roles as Lagertha in Vikings and Hannah Burley in Bones, came to Kyiv ahead of Ukraine’s Independence Day. While here, she visited our center and met children, including those who had lived through Russian occupation and those forced to leave their homes because of the war. The night before the visit was a difficult one: air raid sirens woke the team in the middle of the night. Katheryn recalled that her “heart rate was pounding, coming out of her chest.” 
For the First Time Ever: Voices of Children Brings Together Alumni of All Its Arts Residencies
For six days in August, a bar appeared in the Carpathians where you paid for tea not with money, but with leaves from the trees. Nearby, teenagers flew kites against the mountain backdrop, while every evening brought live music. This was the Youth Retreat — a major gathering that brought together alumni of the Voices of Children Foundation’s arts labs from across Ukraine. Each of these teenagers had previously taken part in one of our creative residencies. This time, for the first time, they all came together in one place.
