After driving a few of the families into town, we decided to teach the kids how to build a campfire 🔥🔥
Then what do you do with a campfire? Make s'mores of course!

We were able to finalize group psychological support through art for our residents starting next week. A massive thank you to Myroslava for connecting us and ensuring that those in need can receive the support they deserve.

The children had their first day of school today. Rita, Thierry, and Wendy saw them off. While it was sad seeing them walk into their school, it was a lot calmer in the Phoenix lol
Thierry and Rita then worked on sorting clothing and arranging the free store.

A massive thank you to Trostyants Community for providing our residents with warm clothing. When people are forced to leave their homes, they are very limited with what they can carry and have to make hard choices.

We had a fantastic day. We developed a new community schedule for our residents so everyone can take on different responsibilities.
Ludmila made an amazing vegetarian borscht that even the children ate.

It's very easy to overlook the stories of those staying with us. They come from frontline areas and each has their own story.
If you recall the "human safari"s in Kherson, their family was a victim of this and the reason for them leaving their home
