"Children are our future. Everyone is already aware of the profound impact that a person's childhood experiences can have on their adult life, including the consequences of war. Now, the children of Ukraine require support and rehabilitation more than ever after what they have been through," shared Sofiia, the lead singer of Zapovid, who was born in Ternopil.

The enemy's goal is to break our nation, and we cannot allow that. Therefore, by supporting the foundation, we invest in the future lives of the affected children and their families.

— What stood out to you the most during the tour?

— What stood out to us the most were the emotions of the people who joined us as spectators and donors. We gave them a true celebration and showed them what Christmas could be like in a folk-rock format! Many attendees expressed interest in our style of carols and confirmed that it's a successful challenge for the youth - to continue preserving our traditions in an engaging new sound.

The Canadian band Zapovid was formed in 2011. Its members include musicians born in Canada, Poland, and Ukraine. As the members note, their mission is to spread Ukrainian rock to every corner of the earth.
