Watching this video from Ascend Mission Fund / Ukraine Relief Network filled my heart with joy and gratitude.

Seeing Paulo’s dream of becoming a policeman and Filda’s ambition to become a computer engineer reminds me of the power of opportunity and education.

It’s a beautiful thing to witness children thriving and reaching for their dreams, thanks to the support and dedication of their teachers.

Grateful to be part of a community that empowers the next generation to achieve greatness. 🙌

We had another art session for the kids in the Ukraine Relief Network at our studio. The children painted their favorite foods—some drew hamburgers, others drew ice cream cakes. At the end, we made a cake together and ate it. The joy was incredible!

Help us continue supporting these children as they recover from the trauma of war. Become a partner in our cause and make a difference in their lives.

Yesterday at 10:00 a.m., a Russian rocket destroyed the Boychuk Academy of Arts in the center of Kyiv, there are victims and it is a miracle that no one died, because only 3 minutes passed from the moment the alarm went off to the moment of the explosion:(
In the spacious halls of the congress hall of the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boychuk, the exhibition "Woman in the Flame of War" was exhibited, which featured the works of scientific and pedagogical workers and students of the Academy, as well as colleagues from other institutions of higher education artistic direction.

Today was a rollercoaster of emotions and positive sensations!💖
Our sponsored children, who have been through pain with the Ukraine war, dived into art therapy. 🎨
They drew dreams, thought about wonderful times, and even painted portraits of their pets! 🐾
Time sped by, yet each paint stroke was filled with grit and optimism. 🍃

Our partnership with the Ascend Mission Fund focuses on providing these children with the resources they need to recover and thrive. We're working together to create a better future through education and empowerment. 💕
