150 letters – 150 dreams come true!

On 5 December, on St. Nicholas Day, teachers and students of the Institute of International Relations visited children with severe somatic and psychophysical disabilities — pupils of the Nadiya Specialised General Education School.

It was a very warm meeting: our students talked with the children, listened to their performances, and sincerely shared smiles. Such attention and support brought real joy to the children.

The day before, we received 150 letters with drawings and wishes from the school pupils, and thanks to your support, we made the dreams of 150 children come true.

We would like to express our special gratitude to the Volunteer Department of the Institute of International Relations and its head, student of the International Relations programme Sofia Onopchenko, as well as the students of the educational programmes "International Law", "International Communications" and "International Business", who distributed the letters with the children's wishes among themselves and bought the gifts that the children had been waiting for so eagerly.

The following individuals received thanks for their involvement and assistance from the Solomyanskyi District State Administration and the Nadiya School:

Olena Pryatychuk, Deputy Director for Scientific and Pedagogical Work at the IIR

Inna Tsesar, Coordinator for Educational Work at the IIR

Students of the educational programmes: International Law, International Business, and International Communications

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the fundraising!

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise 45,897.18 UAH.

Part of the funds was spent on gifts for the schoolchildren, and 17,328 UAH was spent on holiday packages for the military. We purchased books, anti-stress colouring books, stationery, socks, T-shirts, hygiene products and New Year's accessories for our defenders.

It's easy to do good. We thank everyone who contributed.
