War-affected children of Kyiv region will have a vacation and recuperate in Spain, reports Kyivska OVA.
This is stipulated by the Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation between the Kyiv Regional State Administration and the association ASOCIACIÓN VICHE, which operates in the Spanish Asturias. The document was signed by the acting head of Kyiv OVA Mykola Kalashnik and the president of the association Cristina Pechena, according to the message in the Telegram on Thursday evening.
The memorandum talks about joint projects related to the organization of recreation, social adaptation and psychological rehabilitation of children from the Kiev region.
The children are ready to receive for 2 months Spanish families. They will provide their welfare, training in local educational institutions, leisure time. And will also support them after their return to Ukraine.
“I am grateful for such important initiatives, because our children, who live in constant stress, really need such mental unloading. The idea of the project is not just about organizing a vacation for them. It’s about emotional connection: from caring for a particular child to activating support for Ukraine as a whole,” emphasized Kalashnik.
