No snow, no disease, no lockdown prevents us from learning 
Very useful topics: "Nonviolent communication, empathy, burnout, roles and responsibilities of various actors in the child protection system."
Thank you:
for very useful information, practical work, experience, organization.
Especially relevant about burnout .. With our pace, mega activities, a bunch of challenges, difficulties .. How many times are we with
Yura Gupalo
tired just "fell". But, an incredibly powerful force, an incredibly deep motivation - raises again and again.
God leads, directs, gives strength, inspiration, vision, support in our work. But, our responsibility is to learn to regulate correctly, to set boundaries, to stop in time, to take into account our needs, to recover ... Because a person who does not know how to help himself cannot help others. God Himself says:
"I want mercy, not sacrifice" The wave of activity carries us with great speed and power. Often, this is detrimental to personal interests, family, and even health. But, we are learning
I believe that it will be possible to change, normalize, bring everything to the level of wise service, reduce speed and help with quality.
These final stages of repair in the new center are at maximum speed, because the masters work very productively, one process adjusts another. But I hope that we will open the "Social Pantry" and get to that convenient speed
Although last year was difficult, unpredictable, unstable, looking back we can safely say:
We are well done, we are all with you!In 2020, we helped
1706 persons of total weight
12.5 tons!!!
Thanks to your support, faith, help, we were able not only not to stop working, but also in addition to helping hundreds of people and children in need, to make steady repairs in the Center for Assistance "Social Chamber"!
After all, it is the Social Chamber that will be able to unite those who have the opportunity to help and those who need it. And as a result, this synergy will give impetus to change and exit from the crisis: training, development, support, information This is just a small list of what we can do.
Everyone who needs it will find support and help here!
Join us!
Nicholas comes to everyone! Even if children from needy socially vulnerable families; even if from remote villages; even if the mother raises herself or the father raises several children himself; even if the children are seriously ill; even if the mother does not have, but the grandmother takes care of; even if he has lost hope - Saint Nicholas will present a fairy tale with the help of kind, open and merciful people!
?
It was necessary to see: these shining, enthusiastic eyes of children? who received bright, beautiful gifts from the real Nicholas!
?
This year we changed the format of the holiday: we delivered gifts that the best benefactors helped us prepare for children from socially crisis families! We had 2 teams of volunteers. Some were taken to children in Lviv, while others went to the villages with Mykola.
?
All children sincerely thanked for such necessary gifts!
And we join in thanking for things, gifts, sweets, tangerines, money - all this allowed us to create a holiday and a real fairy tale!
Browse the photos, look for your packages, and the children for whom they were intended.
Important: some packages we repackaged in a box and bright gift paper, some bags were torn during transportation, so we also repackaged.
We also sent gifts to some families by mail, because they live far away, it was physically difficult to deliver (we add a video, later we will receive a photo of receipt from the family).
We had such cool lights on the car (below in the tape you can see the photo?).
Anu, confess, who saw us on the roads of Lviv on December 18 ?!
Happy holiday to us !
Congratulations to all who can not be away from other people's troubles, but serve with their work, time, talents for the good of others!
Volunteering is different. Someone is so "pure for the soul", someone "for a tick", someone once a year to Nicholas, someone only in his spare time, someone within his activities, someone especially does not arise in detail, and for some it is a deep mission, a continuous life
In recent years, volunteering in general saves lives… And how much lasts, thanks to volunteers, activists, caring ..
In fact, it is hard work. Only those who are resilient will survive for a long time, who will survive a dozen burns, declines, despair, condemnation, disappointments… One for whom it is not just a hobby, but a mission, a calling of the heart, God's guidance
But thanks to each volunteer, there is hope that this world has a bright future
As infinite is charity, so be kindness, happiness, love, and prosperity in your families and homes.
Let every noble deed of one volunteer motivate others to act!
