On the anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Federation of European Publishers started a campaign to support the Ukrainian book project War through the Voices of Children. This was reported on the website of the organization.

Our duty as Europeans is to protect the values of freedom that we hold dear. The Ukrainians, faced with the abominable russian aggression, are on the front line to defend these values that we have in common. Through the voices of these children who are growing up surrounded by constant violence and danger, the book published by the Voices of Children Foundation reminds us that the victory of Ukraine is fundamental for our democracies.
Ricardo Franco Levi, FEP President

The Head of the Culture Committee in the European Parliament, MEP Sabine Verheyen also supported the initiative.

On February 24, the Federation of European Publishers shared photos of Sabine Verheyen and Ricardo Franco Levi with the book War through the Voices of Children on social networks.

To the anniversary of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Voices of Children Charitable Foundation has published a unique book War through the Voices of Children. It contains about 100 emotional quotes that demonstrate children’s paradoxical view of war. Designers, artists, photographers and celebrities from different parts of the world illustrated these quotes. Among those who participated in creating images: illustrators Nikita Titov, Serhii Maidukov, Oleksandr Grekhov, Iryna Vale, singer Jamala and her son Rahman, singer Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, chef Yevhen Klopotenko.

The book was published in cooperation with the literary agency OVO.

You can buy the book at the link. All funds received are directed to psychological support of children.

“Good Hands”: July Stories from the Voices of Children Foundation’s Centres

The group at the foundation’s centre in Mykolaiv was already wrapping up when one of the girls asked if she could stay a little longer — she wanted to draw. The administrator came over to have a look at her work and saw a sad kitten, with two open hands above it bearing the words “Good Hands” and the Voices of Children logo. The drawing had a story of its own: a kitten just like this one lives in the entrance hall of the girl’s block of flats, and she and her mum feed it and keep it warm as best they can. The administrator asked whose hands they were in the drawing.
