On March 1, a vibrant Maslenitsa celebration took place at the «Krakiv» cultural cluster in Kyiv, organized by the International Ukrainian Charitable Foundation «Children of War» for the children of Ukrainian defenders. The atmosphere of the event was filled with joy, warmth, and the boundless happiness of the little ones, further confirming the importance of such initiatives.

• The children immersed themselves in a world of fairy tales and adventures: they had fun with animators dressed as characters from the beloved cartoon Paw Patrol, enjoyed a play about Kotyhoroshko, and experienced unforgettable emotions from the colorful face painting. The festive treat of delicious pancakes created an atmosphere of coziness and homely warmth.

The joyful smiles of the children and the happy faces of the parents are the best proof that such events are truly needed. The International Ukrainian Charitable Foundation «Children of War» strives to bring joy to children, create unforgettable moments of happiness for them, and support Ukrainian families who have faced the hardships of war.

The Foundation will continue to organize similar events so that every child has the opportunity to feel warmth, care, and faith in goodness. Because children’s laughter and happy eyes are what make it all worthwhile.
