Participation in the ADRA Kids Event in Kyiv

On September 28, the Mentoring Association was invited to a wonderful event — the presentation of the ADRA Kids project at Mamaieva Sloboda, dedicated to supporting children affected by the war.

The celebration brought together 149 children aged 6–14 — including children of veterans, wounded soldiers, and those whose parents are missing. Younger kids under 6 also enjoyed the festive atmosphere, drawing on the “Wall of Dreams” and discovering new experiences.

The children took part in an engaging quest, and the joyful atmosphere was created by Mykola Kuleba, Aliona Luhantseva, singer Anzhelika Rudnytska, and young volunteer Sofiia Nersesian, who has already raised 15 million UAH for charity.

More than 150 children received gifts, care, and joy, while their parents felt that they had not been forgotten. The event’s motto was: “Bringing Childhood Back!”

The Association was represented by Aliona Luhantseva, a graduate of the Corporate Mentoring program, member of the Supermentors Club, and the coordinator’s assistant. She shared her impressions:

“For me, this was a very meaningful experience. I was deeply touched by the sincerity of the people I met and the warmth they were so willing to share with the children! I’m grateful to the organizers for the opportunity to support children affected by the war. We’re looking forward to future cooperation and participation in new initiatives!”
