A New Addition to the Avramenko Family Group
Yesterday evening, a little 9-year-old girl Ania was admitted to the Centre. She is from the Dnipro Disctrict of the city of Kyiv. The girl has already been given new clothing and all the things needed for her comfortable living in the family group. Our staff will have Ania examined to find out what kind of psychological or other help she may need. Soon, Ania will go back to her school. May each new day bring the little girl joy and family warmth.

We care about the environment
With every passing year, mankind is becoming increasingly more concerned with the environmental protection issues. The Our Kids Centre is making its contribution to the environmental protection through the implementation of the ‘Green Concept.’ This, in its own way, is both a certain mindset and a lifestyle. To promote awareness of natural resources conservation, it is necessary to get the message across about the problems and the importance of preserving our planet. Here at the Centre, we started with the basics by launching an awareness programme for youth.

DELVING INTO THE ART OF FILM-MAKING
For two weeks straight, the Centre’s kids have been studying the art of film-making. Together with film director Oksana Kazmina, they have been delving into the film-making craft. In such a short period of time, the kids have already learned about the film-making process. Every other film production workshop helps them improve their creative skills. Every workshop participant was given a video camera. They are now making short videos like real film directors and even intend to take part in a film-making contest. The initial idea belonged to the Children’s Film-Making Workshop supervisor Oksana.

We welcome the new kids at the Centre
We are happy to continue providing help to displaced children who have fled from the combat zone. Today, another three children arrived at the Centre from the town of Shchastia, Luhansk region. They are 17-year-old Nastia and two sisters, 16-year-old Zhenia and 11-year-old Karina. The Centre’s staff have provided counseling to the girls and made arrangements for them to continue their studies. The girls have been placed in the family groups of Basarab and Borysenko who will take care of their safety at the Centre. They are now living in peace and comfort. We and the kids stay in touch with their parents and relatives at all times. We hope that the kids get used to living in a new place quickly and make many new friends.

A Sound Mind in a Sound Body
The Our Kids Centre is involved in many activities in working with children. For example, under the project entitled ‘Sport is Our Choice,’ every day we try to remind the kids that engaging in sports activities is essential for their good health and fitness.To promote the best possible conditions for comprehensive physical, artistic and sporting development of every child, we consult the best professional coaches and instructors. From now on, the kids will have weekly dancing and functional training classes with Anna Rozvadovska, professional choreographer and certified ZUMBA fitness instructor. This week, we had the first training session. Amid a friendly atmosphere, the kids and even the foster carers thoroughly enjoyed the ZUMBA rhythms. We are already looking forward to meeting Anna again.
