The ceremony of rewarding participants of the contest “Keys to Family Happiness” was held at the horse theater “Zaporozhye Cossacks” on Khortitsa. For the third year in a row, the Zaporozhye Charitable Foundation “Happy Child” has been conducting an all-Ukrainian video-story contest for the development of the family structure of children, which tells about the talents of orphaned children who are already being brought up in foster families.
Foster families, family-type children’s homes, foster families from all over Ukraine gathered in Zaporozhye.
The general sponsor of the event was PJSC “Zaporizhstal”. – There can be nothing more important for a child than family in which peace prevails. It is very pleasant that today, on International Family Day, everyone with happy eyes, with smiles on their faces and can hear a child’s laugh. This is what we, adults, should cherish, and also give children love, care, respect”, said the leader of the youth organization of Zaporizhstal Steel Works, the youth mayor of Zaporozhye, Sergey Ilchenko. – Today, Zaporizhstal did not stand aside and we supported this event. It is very important that children feel support from adults, and that every child has a family.
