Щасливі мати можливість співпрацювати з таким колоритним та атмосферним рестораном, який провів кулінарний майстер- клас з виготовлення справжньої італійської піци для діток та молоді з інвалідністю.
Вже четвертий рік поспіль команда зоопарку дружньо приймає наших підопічних до себе в гості, дуже раді мати таких друзів як ви!
Друзі, дуже просимо свідомо заповнювати форму та звертати увагу кому і що ми надаємо, аби після не займати час ні свій ні наш, більше з тим- поберегти наші нерви, оскільки ви не завжди готові чути те, що ми не надаємо те що ви хочете. Звертайте увагу на сфери діяльності та бенефіціарів фонду а після залишайте особисту інформацію, якщо ви впевнені що для вас це потрібно та корисно.
Щиро вдячні за повагу та розуміння,
З любов’ю,
Команда МБФ Гарних справ
Будь ласка, не несіть нам сміття!
Перше- ви передаєте з рук в руки дивлячись у очі працівнику фонду, потім йдете і ми відкриваємо пакунок. Уявіть, якби ми мали більше часу і ми відкривали пакунок з вашими брудними речима з неприємним запахом та мотлохом при Вас, було б зручно і не соромно?
Друге- не марнуйте свій час везучи непотріб на Саксаганського замість смітника, ми поважаємо людей яким надаємо допомогу і такого явно не будемо передавати. Нам також неприємно брати до рук чиюсь брудну білизну.
Третє- перед тим як приїхати ви телефонуєте і питаєте що ми приймаємо і ми кажемо, що беремо речі ЛИШЕ В ГАРНОМУ СТАНІ. Ви ж не приходите несучи ці речі одягнені в такому ж смітті!
Благодійність- це не віддати своє сміття зі словами «якщо в бідних нема грошей, хай дякують що хоть щось дали». Благодійність- це про щирість, про повагу та про піклування про ближніх.
Щиро вдячні за розуміння ????????
Вже понад 8 років наша діяльність зосереджена саме на гуманітарній допомозі одягом і а такий скрутний час це як ніколи актуально ????????
КОМУ❓
Наші бенефіціари- це сім‘ї ВПО(мають неповнолітніх дітей), сім‘ї що виховують дітей з інвалідністю. ⚠️
Що збираємо❓
- Одяг (дорослий і дитячий, не приймаємо «старий» одяг накшталт бабусиних дублянок які лежать понад 20 років);
- Постілі, рушники, ковдри, пледи;
- Іграшки;
- Книжки (українською мовою);
- Посуд та кухонне приладдя;
- Побутову техніку та електроніку в робочому стані;
- Інше (якщо речі яку ви хочете пожертвувати немає в переліку напишіть нам або зателефонуйте аби уточнити доцільність);
Головна умова- РЕЧІ МАЮТЬ БУТИ В ГАРНОМУ СТАНІ. (Тобто без дірочок, плям, явної кошлатості, неприємного запаху або інших суттєвих дефектів)
Як пожертвувати❓
Напишіть нам, або зателефонуйте за тел.0680235114 щоб домовитись про прийом ????
Де ми знаходимось❓

Гарний стан речей - це речі, які придатні до їх подальшого використання та можливість повноцінно виконувати свої функції.
Джинси, без пошкоджень, без плям, з цілісним замочком та гудзиком - річ придатна до повноцінного використання, а отже має гарний стан.
Куртка, що має пошкодження на рукаві, пляму на видному місці та пошкоджений замок, що унеможливлює її застібнути - не має гарного стану, адже не виконує свою функцію, через наявні пошкодження.
Перелік речей, що ми НЕ приймаємо в рамках програми "Від щирого серця":
- нижня білизна, яка була у використанні (навіть у разовому!);
- одяг та взуття у брудному стані або з помітними пошкодженнями;
- надщерблений посуд;
- весільні сукні та речі, що пов'язані із різними ритуалами;
- не працюючу техніку, а також диски, касети;
- таблетки, косметика та засоби гігієни, що були у використанні або мають закінчений термін придатності;
- книги, що не актуальні для цільової категорії ;
- речі та предмети із символікою партій та інших організацій.
Увага! Поновлені правила прийому та видачі адресної допомоги.
Ми дуже вдячні всім, хто долучається до збору адресної допомоги та щодня привозить нам пакунки, коробки, мішки з речима. Враховуючи те, що кожного дня наша програма набирає масштабів, а кількість благодійників, що жертвують - зростає, ми змушені змінити правила прийому та видачі, поки не знайдемо додаткового приміщення.
Тому, відтепер, кожен понеділок - день видачі адресної допомоги, речей, які наші підопічні бронюватимуть протягом тижня у Вайбер-чаті.
Відповідно, понеділок - не приймальний день.
Всі інші дні (вт; ср; чт; пт) - дні прийому речей від благодійників.
Графік та умови незмінні: 11:00-16:00 за попереднім дзвінком 044 289 00 79.

Так, в нас один пункт збору: місто Київ, вул. Саксаганського, 77. Речі можна привозити в будь-який час? Ні, лише за попередньою домовленістю та узгоджений день. Ви працюєте у вихідні? Ні, лише будні дні. Ви їздите по Києву і збираєте речі самостійно з адрес? Ні, такого не робить жодна організація! Речі слід привозити САМОСТІЙНО до нашого пункту збору. Кому ви віддаєте речі? Нашим підопічним: сім'ям СЖО та сім'ям, що виховують діток з інвалідністю, попередньо перевіривши всі документи, що підтверджують даний статус. Вам можна привозити все? Ні, є вичерпний пернелік того, що ми приймаємо. Головна умова: гарний та робочий стан речей. Якщо немає змоги привезти самостійно, що робити? Ми успішно практикуємо передачу речей через кур'єрів різних служб доставки та таксі. Можна ми привеземо речі в зручний для нас час та лишимо у вас на охороні, а ви потім заберете? НІ! Це не наша особиста охорона, а охорона приміщення, де окрім нас знаходиться ще безліч організацій! Ми привеземо речі, ви будете їх сортувати у нашій пристуності? Ні, наша команда фасує речі по мірі їх накопичення - самостійно! Куди окрім вас можна завезти речі? До наших партнерів:
Ми знаходимось біля таблички "Саксаганського 77" куди далі? Заходите в арку будинку за магазином "МедТехніка", телефонуєте до нас та чекаєте, ми вас зустрінемо через кілька хвилин.
Міжнародний благодійний фонд Гарних справ - надає широкий спектр соціальних послуг вразливим категоріям населення та створює умови для розвитку потенціалу дітей та молоді.
Ми працюємо за принципами:
Відкритість – МБФ Гарних справ відкритий до співпраці з усіма зацікавленими особами, що розділяють місію фонду, представників громадянського суспільства з України та закордону, уряду, бізнесу; ми відкриті для змін та нових ідей, які можуть вдосконалити нашу діяльність;
Інноваційність – йдемо в ногу з часом, активно використовуємо інструменти соціальних інновацій в реалізації проектів;
Прозорість – ми впровадили в технологію роботи фонду найвищі стандарти інформаційної відкритості, починаючи від старту проектів, закінчуючи методологією прийняття рішень щодо фінансування та публікації звітності.
Диференційований підхід – діяльність фонду адаптована відповідно до запиту та враховуючи особливості та інтереси конкретної цільової аудиторії.
Незалежність – відсутність політичних мотивів у прийнятих рішеннях чітко слідуємо своїй місії не дублюючи популярні точки зору.
Конфіденційність – ми поважаємо право отримувачів благодійної допомоги і донорів на конфіденційність їхньої інформації і не розголошують їхню приватну та конфіденційну інформацію іншим сторонам, які не мають належних повноважень.
Наша цільова категорія:
- діти та молодь з інвалідністю;
- діти та молодь, що виховуються в малозабезпечених родинах;
- діти, позбавлені батьківського піклування.
Якщо Ви належите до соціально-вразливої категорії наслення(з якою ми працюємо - зазначено пунктом вище) та проживаєте в місті Києві або в Київській області - заповніть наступну форму та найближчим часом очікуйте дзвінка відповідальної особи : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12jRjshNxWvxDDpMhRTk1ZZJmg21ak7bDiJFKDvI4zqU/edit?fbclid=IwAR0wV85qX3AB-QD4VDaNNVvTd9VpjbAIE-6RBLXel83MSx5XIutsV7KkP30
Якщо Ви проживаєте в Україні ( в будь-якій області, окрім Київської) заповніть дану форму: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XPYxWYsuIgu3ZBdIm-DsXfsUbVhUjV2nEdaMX-m4S_4/edit?fbclid=IwAR3A4wf1HRurSqlHDElbKEbp9LCBvij7ciVpBxhhvxzmmhXFdqiPL8WOE7s
Ці форми можуть заповнити особи, що належать до наступних соціальних категорій: виховують дітей з інвалідністю, СЖО (при наявності довідки про малозабезпеченість) і мають документальне підтвердження.
❗️❗️❗️У Києві у повітрі зафіксовані продукти горіння – фахівці просять зачинити вікна та не виходити на вулицю❗️❗️❗️
Причиною цього є пожежі у Житомирській області і Зоні відчуження та безумовного (обов’язкового) відселення, а також північно-західний вітер.
✅Радіаційний фон у столиці – в межах норми.
Про це повідомили в Управління з питань цивільного захисту КМДА.
Враховуючи ситуацію фахівці закликають:
?обмежити перебування на відкритому повітрі;
?тримати вікна зачиненими, особливо вночі і рано вранці. При відкритті вікон завішувати кватирки зволоженою тканиною і періодично її змінювати;
?ввімкнути системи кондиціонування та очищення повітря;
?проводити вологе прибирання, корисно поставити ємності з водою, щоб підвищити вологість повітря;
?збільшити споживання рідини до 2-3 літрів на день для дорослих. Для відновлення солей та мікроелементів рекомендується пити підсолену і мінеральну лужну воду, молочно-кислі напої (знежирене молоко, молочну сироватку), соки, мінералізовані напої, киснево-білкові коктейлі.
Якщо у вас з’явилася задишка, кашель або безсоння, необхідно звернутися до лікаря.
Нагадаємо, що 16 квітня у Зоні відчуження силами і засобами ДСНС продовжуються роботи із гасіння пожеж.

Добра фотосесія на #ЩедрийВівторок
Дуже вдячні за Антикафе "Лясы" за теплий прийом, привітність та незабутню атмосферу! ?
З ранніх років книга супроводжує нас по життю. У зовсім маленькому віці наші батьки читають нам найперші казки, а ми їх слухаємо, затамувавши подих. У цей момент ми співпереживаємо героям і разом з ними знаходимо вихід з будь-якої ситуації.
Пізніше, коли ми вже навчилися читати самостійно, в нас з’являються свої улюблені твори й книжкові образи, на які хотілося б бути схожими та які ми вважаємо кращим прикладом для наслідування.
Яскраві фото від Anna Zagorska , безмежно вдячні ?

Ну що ж друзі, готові з Вами поділитися враженнями від першої хвилі фестивалю «З країни в Україну» 2019! Ми побували в Закарпатті, а саме: Тячів, Берегове та Мукачево.
✅4 регіони;
✅18 міст України;
✅12 інтерактивних локацій;
✅10 годин неспинного драйву у кожному місті;
✅Тисячі палаючих очей.
Наші дітки задоволені та щасливі, а ми вдячні гостинному та привітному колективу ресторану за теплу зустріч, цікавий майстер- клас та частування ? 
Навіть наші артисти фестивалю не встояли перед добрими справами тут і зараз ❤️ Впізнаєте? Так- так, це півфіналістка національного відбору Євробачення, співучий соловейко- Кіра Мазур ?
А Ви робили разом з нами добрі справи?
Слідкуйте за нашими новинами, адже скоро вирушаємо в нові міста нашої преурасної України. ?
А тим часом, ми з Вами поділимось секретом найпростішого виготовлення солоного тіста:
, що на ВДНГ.
Ніщо так не може порадувати діток як тваринки, а коли їх можна щей погладити, погодувати, приголубити вихованців та потримати на ручках маленьких мешканців зоопарку, то взагалі – велика радість!
А ми раді дарувати Вам та Вашим діткам цю радість та щасливі посмішки.
Наші дітки вже познайомились із мешканцями контактного зоопарку, знайомимо і Вас: • Лемур Катта - один з представників ендемічного дляМадагаскару сімейства лемурових. Цей вид широко поширений, населяє південну і південно-західну частину острова, а також в невеликій кількості зустрічається в горах Андрінгіта. На відміну від своїх побратимів, які проводять більшу частину життя на деревах, котячий лемур проводить багато часу на землі. •Міні-Піги - це карликові декоративні свинки, вперше виведені в 1950-х роках на теренах США і Німеччини. Прабатьками мініатюрних свинок вважаються маленькі дикі кабани і в'єтнамські вислобрюхі свині, які мають невеликі розміри по своїй природі. • Індійський павич -у багатьох регіонах Індії павич вважається священним птахом богині мудрості і бога війни. • Шотландська худоба - або шотландська корова. На відміну від інших корів, шотландські корови одягнені в подвійну шубу. Верхній ворс довжиною понад 30 сантиметрів і його поверхня змащена жиром. Додатковий захист, який зберігає тепло - це м'який і теплий підшерсток. Тому ці дивовижні корови прекрасно почувають себе в гірських районах. Найпоширеніше забарвлення червоне і руде, рідше зустрічаються чорні, білі, палеві особини. • Камерунська карликова коза - це представник групи карликових порід кіз, які були завезені з їх батьківщини, Африканського континенту, в багато країн світу.
Школярі старших класів, студенти та діти з інклюзією разом зі своїми батьками мали можливість поринукти в світ фантазій та неймовірних пригод, уявляючи себе героями справжнісінького детективу!
Дякуємо всім учасникам, ви неймовірно активні та енергійні, чекаємо вас і на наступних наших заходах! Ви неймовірні!
Неймовірний захід який зміг об'єднати не лише велику кількість активістів,а й створити натхненний простір можливостей, які змогли привабити всіх гостей фестивалю! Величезні лекторії, цікаві тематичні зони, різноманітні інтелектуальні, творчі та спортивні ігри, конкурси та змагання, ну і звісно ж велика музична сцена!!! День Молоді в Парку імені Тараса Шевченка навіть в прохолодну пасмурну погоду мав неймовірно теплу атмосферу, яка без сумніву надихає!
Обмін контактами, цікавою інформацією, спільні плани, проекти, нові та цікаві знайомства- це Youthday `18 !!!
Ну і звісно ніхто не залишився без подарунків. Всі учасники квесту отримали цікаві розмальовки, а переможці отримали екосумки від "Марафон добрих справ" #моїдобрісправи
Дякуємо всім, хто сьогодні був разом з нами!! А особливо нашим партнерам за запрошення та сприяння!
Ви- найкращі!!!
Соціальні ПРОЕКТИ-це круто. А ще крутіше- ПРОЕКТИ які навчають створювати соціальні ПРОЕКТИ!
І тавтологія тут невипадкова, знайомимо вас з GameChanger1 ( ви вже, мабуть, зрозуміли, що цей соціальний проект вартий уваги). На цих вихідних там було особливо цікаво, адже наш президент, Наталія Колісник, провела для учасників практичний тренінг по тайм-менеджменту 
та тонус-менеджменту. А попереду ще багато сюрпризів!
?саме час для нових ідей та проектів, тому Міжнародний благодійний фонд Гарних справ організував креативний захід «Дизайн-мислення для молоді». 
?
?
?
??
Учасники дізналися як можна легко створювати інновації орієнтуючись на потреби споживачів, активували «out оf the box thinking», познайомилися з кращими винаходами створеними за даною методикою, а також розробили свої рішення повсякденних проблем. 
?
Ми бачимо, що насправді молоді люди готові вчитися та ставати агентами змін, головне правильно подати інформацію та врахувати їх неявні потреби 
?
Чекаємо результатів нашого заходу, слідкуйте за новинами.

#good_deeds
- вчилися їх ідентифікувати та ділитися ними з своїм оточенням в конструктивній формі.
Також ми визначали рівень стійкості до стресу за допомогою тестування.
І на завершення учасники прийняли участь у виготовленні вітальних листівок до 8 березня для жінок похилого віку.
Наступне заняття відбудеться 28.02 о 17.00 в районі ст. м. Харківська в ТЦ «Нью Вей», у вільному просторі Hub4you (2 поверх, на території «Дитячої планети»).
Ми завжди раді новим учасникам!
Реєстрація за посиланням https://goo.gl/forms/5E86P3o1v0izn0KP2 Участь безкоштовна.
Тренінги проходять за програмою МБО «Партнерство «Кожній дитині» у рамках проекту «Молодь для молоді: знай свої права – змінюй життя» та за підтримки МГО «Соціальні ініціативи з охорони праці та здоров’я» в рамках проекту «Нова оселя» при підтримці Європейського союзу.

Якщо ви прагнете змін, ми будемо вдячні за допомогу у Всеукраїнському проекті Центр соціальних ініціатив (ЦСІ). Призначення платежу вказуйте - ЦСІ! Станьте частиною масштабних змін в Україні!
Мрієте про те, щоб у нашій країні щось змінилося на краще? Розумієте, що влада не в силах вирішити і половину проблеми суспільства? Впевнені що, якщо хтось і може щось зробити, то це громада? Ми теж так думаємо, тому і створили Центр соціальних ініціатив!
Центр соціальних ініціатив – що це?
Центр соціальних ініціатив (ЦСІ) – це місце, де громадські активісти та волонтери зможуть пройти спеціальний курс тренінгів, отримати всі необхідні знання для створення свого власного соціального проекту, та реалізувати його під керівництвом експертів в центру.

На основі конкурсного відбору, організатори обирають 20 людей, віком від 20 до 30 років, з різних міст України, бажаючих навчитися створювати соціальні проекти.
Учасників запрошують на виїзну школу поблизу міста Київ, де 6 днів професійні тренери будуть навчати їх створювати соціальні проекти. Після проходження тренінгів, за кожним учасником закріплюється супервізор, який буде надавати консультації протягом підготовки соціальних ініціатив.
Завдання учасників - на основі набутих знань, за допомогою супервізора, за два місяці створити та реалізувати короткотривалий соціальний проект. Це може бути: акція, флешмоб, конкурс, тренінг, семінар, лекція, майстер-клас, та інші заходи, спрямовані на досягнення соціально корисного ефекту для окремої групи людей чи для суспільства вцілому.
Протягом двох тижнів, після реалізації, учасники готують звіт. А потім разом збираються на фінальній зустрічі, де презентують свої досягнення, оговорюють результати та діляться набутим досвідом. І звичано ж, учасники отримують сертифікати, що засвідчують проходження навчання в ЦСІ та успішну реалізацію власних проектів.
У чому унікальність?
Унікальність ЦСІ полягає у тому, що учасники після проходження навчання мають підтримку від фонду та закріпленого за ними супервізора, який протягом реалізації соціальної ініціатива допомагатиме, консультуватиме, направлятиме, мотивуватиме. Після проходження тренінгів мотивація швидко знижується, а в процесі реалізації виникає багато питань на які тренінг не дав відповідь, і люди зупиняються на півдорозі, так и не досягнувши мети. За допомогою спеціалістів учасники обов'язково реалізують і розвинуть власну соціальну ініціатив на вищому рівні.
Що ми хочемо зробити, реалізуючи проект?
Проект реалізується з метою вирішення проблем вразливих груп населення, шляхом реалізації соціальних ініціатив та підвищити мотивацію молоді до доброчинної діяльності;
Українська молодь має надзвичайний потенціал, багато хто прагне змінити світ на краще, а наше завдання їм в цьому допомогти!
Учасники будуть вміти надавати якісну волонтерську допомогу та мотивувати і залучати людей до громадської діяльності.
Не тренінгах ЦСІ кожен навчиться будувати ефективну комунікацію з представниками кризових категорій танадавати підтримку людям, яким потрібна допомога.

8-9 серпня 2015 на території Маріїнського парку в Києві відбудеться Перший благодійний фестиваль сім'ї та спорту "Кріпатура".
Якщо за літо ви втомилися від безтурботного неробства і пасивного відпочинку, якщо сидіння в кафешках і засмагання на пляжі вже навіюють на вас тугу, приходьте на початку серпня на спорт-фест «Кріпатура», і ми допоможемо вам підняти настрій!
Цей масштабний захід пройде за підтримки Міністерства молоді та спорту, і окрім розважально-освітньої функції нестиме ще й соціальну. Так під час Фестивалю пройдуть дві благодійні акції, до яких зможуть долучитися всі охочі: «До навчання готовий!» - збір коштів на купівлю канцелярії для школярів-переселенців зі Сходу України, і «Україна повинна бути сильною!» - збір старого спорт-інвентаря для дітей сиріт. Якщо у вас є непотрібні канцтовари, старий м'яч або ролики - все це можна застосувати з більшою користю: подарувати дітям сиротам та переселенцям, та ще й за свою добру справу взяти участь у безпрограшній лотереї. Пам'ятайте, що для нас важливий кожен олівець!
Фестиваль «Кріпатура» збере на одному майданчику кращих представників різноманітних видів спорту - людей небайдужих, активних, цілеспрямованих. Протягом двох фестивальних днів ви зможете активно провести час всією родиною, познайомитися з однодумцями і знайти собі нове корисне хобі!
В програмі фестивалю:
The «Good deeds» ICF believes that large scale projects are not the reason to refuse from small good actions, after all our lives mostly consist of such things. That is why the management of the Fund, represented by its president, Natalia Kolisnyk, is always willing to support the charitable initiatives of her colleagues who do socially useful work for charitable causes.
For example, last week the Fund transferred the office furniture in favor of the «Free Sport to Kids» project and some furniture to children, displaced from the ATO area, who in the new place of residence had no tables (!) and were forced to write and draw on the chairs, which caused bad effect on their posture and on the growing child's body.
Also, our organization along with "Good things" CO and Dnipropetrovsk Youth Council joined the initiative of MTS Ukraine, which has decided to prove on its own example that the business can and should perform social functions. Thus a joint campaign was born to collect clothes, toys and household chemicals that have recently been sent to nursing homes.
Here is a list of institutions that have received our material assistance:
Dear readers, we would like to remind you, that you can always join the charity initiative by submitting to us children's clothes, stationery, furniture, office equipment, etc., which we, in our turn, will send to those who are most in need of it.
Despite the rainy weather all the future newlyweds and those who are interested in the bridal topics could take part in the III International Festival of wedding traditions DREVO FEST, which was held in the pavilion of National Economy Achievement Exhibition in Kiev on June 27-28, 2015. This large-scale event was devoted to the ethnic wedding traditions of the peoples of the world with the participation of representatives of various national communities from all over Ukraine, and from many other countries, particularly Sudan, Israel, Japan, Moldova (Gagauzia), Bulgaria, Albania, the United States (Hawaii), as well as India.
Besides, everyone could visit the exhibition and fairs of folk art masters, enjoy the performances on the ritual stage, as well as get acquainted with stands of national locations such as the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan, the Israeli cultural center, the Crimean Tatar crafts club, Ukrainian-Japanese cultural center, Salvador Dali Art Institute, Ivan Honchar Museum, the Bulgarian folk ensemble "Ziumbulev", etc.
The program of the Festival was divided into 2 days, during which the guests were entertained by authentic Ukrainian songs and music executed with the kobza and lyre. The gem of the evening concert was the performance of the Colombian singer Anandita Basu.
Good Deeds ICF was traditionally present among the participants and once again supported the DREVO FEST festival of wedding traditions under its "Revival of Cultural and Moral Values" program.
This year, the concert program of the Festival was represented by: the Union of indianists of Ukraine, Kristine Karapetyan, the VRODA band, Flame guitarist, the ZELO band, the "Kalina" people's folklore ensemble, the "Green blood" band and other participants.
On July 1, 2015 The Good Deeds ICF launches social project "Ready for School!" that will be held in the framework of the "Road to Life for Every Child" program. The Foundation has already had an experience of organization and implementation of such social initiatives in 2013, when representatives of the Foundation gave kits of stationary to multi-child families.
According to the latest information from the Ministry of Social Policy: in different cities of Ukraine, there are more than 160,000 children of immigrants, most of which are students.
Before the Day of Knowledge, parents usually buy everything necessary to ensure that their children will have all those things during their studies. Unfortunately, families who had to leave their hometowns because of the not peaceful events often are not able to prepare their children to school and buy everything kids need, including stationery.
"A push for implementation of the "Ready for School!" project became frequent calls and letters from people to our organization with requests to help children get ready for school. Most often for us called families of immigrants from the east of Ukraine. And we have the power, experience and desire to help children and their parents to survive in this difficult time," — commented on the beginning of the event Natalia Kolesnik, a president of the Good Deeds ICF.
Now the "Ready for School!" project is just started, so we will be glad to get any help from you. Let's help families of immigrants to solve huge problem for them and their children!
You can transfer any amount of money that will be spent on purchase of stationery, school uniform and footwear for pupils.

Do good deeds together with the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation!
The main objective of sports education is strengthening the needs of children in physical exercises, development of their health and, of course, development skills for healthy and proper lifestyle. Parents or caregivers are responsible for sports development of children. Unfortunately, the State is unable to fully provide those children who study in social institutions with appropriate sports equipment. As a part of the Road to Life for Every Child and A Sound Mind in a Sound Body programs was organized the Sportyvne Maybutne social promo event.
That is why the team of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation, together with the Cyferblat free space, decided to hold a special project and presented to children from orphanages and boarding schools of Kyiv region modern equipment for lessons of physical education.
Because each of us is convinced that the main task of the educational work in orphanages is formation of healthy lifestyles of students, their conscious need to physical training, education of valuable relation to their own health and the health of others.
Within the promo event, the staff of the foundation and the representatives of the Cyferblat free space purchased and delivered to the social institutions different sporting goods, namely: horizontal bars, balls, chess, checkers, jump ropes, boxing equipment, kits for badminton, etc.
The team of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation is sure that new sports equipment will certainly benefit the younger generation and will awaken in children a desire to engage in sports. For positive changes in our society and with love in our hearts we are building a new world!

The team of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation wants to share with each of you positive news! In 2013, the biggest number of orphans in the history of our country found their families! We are very excited about this, because we see that the efforts of our team according to popularization of adoption gave good results! We are proud that Ukrainians are becoming more conscious and responsible. In particular, let’s look through the current data. It is known that at the end of 2013 year in our country were created 145 family-type orphanages, they became homes for 826 children; 606 adopted families bring up 1414 children. During this period, the Ukrainians adopted 1605 children, foreigners – 586. Significantly increased the number of orphans who are raised in families, not in social institutions. The aim of our foundation is to make as less, as possible Ukrainian kids who are without parental care. In addition, we constantly take care of orphanages from boarding schools, kids from family-type orphanages. As a part of the Road to Life for Every Child, Smile Makes Everyone Happier, A Sound Mind in a Sound Body,Revival of Cultural and Moral Values, and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event, we organize free socially useful projects for orphans, aimed at comprehensive development of boys and girls. Our Foundation strongly contributes to the socialization of the children from orphanages and boarding schools in Kiev and the region, helping them to choose a profession. We direct our work to support single and multi-child mothers. Because our team is aware of and understands how difficult it could be to a young single mothers who, despite everything, raise a child without any help. Often people call to the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation with the will to help children from orphanages. It is remarkable that in today's fast paced life there are yet those who have time and desire to support disadvantaged Ukrainians. But remember that the most important that can be done for orphan is to become his or her loving father and mother. In addition, the government provides support to those people who adopt a child from the orphanages. The parents issue funds for food and free recreation of orphans and other children in the family. Upon reaching of 16 years of age, such children have the right to get their homes out of the lineup. More information about the adoption process in Ukraine can be found online: On the website of the Ukrainian national adoption portal Syritstvu –http://sirotstvy.net/how-to-adopt-a-child/adoption/1164.html; On the website of the Ukraine without orphans alliance http://www.ukrainabezsyrit.org/korysna-informacija/usynovlennya etc. However, a decision to adopt must be taken carefully and without rush, because your actions will depend on the life of a little human. Follow the advice of the team of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation and do good deeds every day, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!More information about the activities of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation find at -http://kondakov.ua/

As a part of the Good Cause Every Day! promo event the team of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation decided to do something memorable for boys and girls scouts – members of the Scouts of Kiev organization.
The Scouts of Kiev helps to attract children and young people to socially useful activities and is for comprehensive development of the younger generation.
On the eve of the winter holidays we invited children to visit the capital Morskaya Skazka oceanarium where kids could get acquainted with unique marine animals.
At the entrance the visitors met a legendary buccaneer, who showed little guests the way to the first gallery of the exhibition – an inverted wooden ship. There was an exposition of coral complex in the sunken ship portholes. In the underwater tunnel, which is located at a depth of 2 meters under the water, the children could feel themselves like divers. Except large fishes and sharks everyone saw colorful clownfishes, wise turtles and invertebrates – shrimps, jellyfishes, sea stars and sea urchins.
An unforgettable impression on the children produced a touchpool with starfish and stingrays, located in the central hall.
Visiting the museum with live exhibits, the inhabitants of the seas and oceans of the planet, Kiev scouts learned a lot of interesting and useful information that will surely be useful in their future endeavors. For such results with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
This St. Nicholas' Day Oksana Schyrba's author program on the radio "Golos Kyiva" have visited the President of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation Natalia Kolesnik. The main theme of the speaker-platform of two guests became a charity in Ukraine, through the eyes of donors.
Serious tone of the conversation was supported by the head of one of the charities’ associations, who informed the audience about the current state of affairs in the field of charity and named the difficulties faced by charitable organizations every day.
In turn, Natalia Kolesnik, expressed the belief that we should not stop in front of a difficult situations - on the contrary, now is the best time to bring their actions, their good business that everyone can make for the better life, open your heart to others. To make good deeds there’s no need to put yourself through the work of some of the charitable organization, just – to develop a culture of individual charity!
However, the head of the Konstantin Kondakov ICF believes that charity does not have to be public and well promoted, so spend considerable money for its coverage – not the best thing to do.
"I congratulate all with the amazing holiday of St. Nicholas. This symbolic day, I heartily encourage everyone to ask themselves: "What good things have I done?" remember your good deeds and they continue to perform in the coming year with great zeal! It's time for begin to unite around a good deal for a better future – let's start the chain of charity and with love in your hearts we’ll build a new world!" – said Natalia. - "Ukraine will rise with 102 place and be sure to enter the top ten World ranking charity CAF!"
All children wait for 19th of December with great impatience, because this day is usually celebrated the Feast of St. Nicholas, who is a patron of all kids.
This day every child is looking forward to wonderful gifts and truly believes to find a surprise under a pillow. In order to please the kids from socially disadvantaged families and children deprived of parental care the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation organized a perfect celebration of St. Nicholas Day in the Mamajeva Sloboda Cossack village.
As a part of the Revival of cultural and moral values program more than 70 boys and girls had the opportunity to personally communicate with the real Nicholas and get sweet gifts.
After appearing in the Mamajeva Sloboda village, the young guests were delighted with the national Ukrainian coloring that surrounded them everywhere. Together with a Cossack-guide the kids visited the manors of a village head, Cossacks Jurs, and a fortuneteller. During the trip across the village the children also learned the names and purpose of different outbuildings: barn, hangar, stable, cellar, cowshed, etc.
Got acquainted with the territory all the guests went into the house of St. Nicholas, who was looking forward to meeting with the kids. Amiable old man congratulated the children sincerely and gave each of them memorable gifts. The guys not only talked with the magical character personally, but also could express their creativity.

Active participator of the roundtable was a representative of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation Svyatoslava Maximchuk.
As it was previously reported, the philanthropists supported a nationwide competition, which aims to educate a new generation of talented innovators in the field of business and open our state as an attractive region for investment and implementation of innovative solutions.
During the roundtable, the participants, including representatives of government, business and the public, discussed the issues of the local investment projects on the territory of Lviv and the Lviv region. In addition, the Bionic University was presented, which is a modern educational initiative aimed at developing entrepreneurial skills among young people.
The organizers have also paid much attention to the importance of the contribution of charitable organizations in the development of innovation. They noted that the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation always supported exciting innovations in the field of science and technology. The representative of the Foundation was able to inform the participants about the achievements of the charity and shared plans for the future.
Let us recall that on 25 November there will be a ceremony of awarding the winners of the "Innovation Breakthrough-2013". In six categories: "Innovation Breakthrough - 2013", "Best of Innovations for Kiev", " Innovation Potential"; Grand Reserve, "Best Innovative Idea" (the pupils), "Best Youth Project" (among students) the best projects will win and make a positive contribution to the future of our state.
The Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation released the final version of the video on the social -Ukrainian competition of children's creativity – Mamoyamalyuyu. Now you can watch it at the official youtube channel of the foundation. Also the philanthropists turned to the National Council on Television and Radio to provide video footage with the social status. Therefore, in the near future , we hope, the story will be available at the national and regional TV channels. In addition, since yesterday in the main square of the country - the Independence Square – the rotation Mamoyamalyuyu movie rotation started.
A half-minute video can be viewed every 10 minutes, and its demonstration will continue until completion of the competition - 18.12.2013.
One of these days the shooting of a “No More” film will come to the end. The main message of the author is that every dream comes true when a person is trying by all means to carry it out, making a maximum effort. Shooting of the film was funded by the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation.
The fifteen-minute story of a thirteen-year- old girl Masha from the province who dreams of becoming a professional athlete will not leave anyone indifferent. To make her dream come true the main heroine overcomes a lot of obstacles, learns from her mistakes, not losing faith in what she does. And, most importantly, having passed all the tests of fate, she achieves the result and becomes an adult. The short film illustrates the long road from a small dream to its full implementation.
Since December 2013 during the whole year the film will take part in the international festivals programs. The author also plans to ask the pitching of Ukraine’s Derzhkino to create a full-length movie in 2014. Attracting people to analyzing their actions, thinking about moral values, family, about their path in life - that is what the film calls for, and this is what the philanthropists joined to.
By supporting these projects, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!

Reusable eco-bags made from natural materials are an alternative to disposable bags. Abandonment of plastics in favour of natural fabrics is the first step in the fight for the ecological health of our country and the planet in general.
There is no difference of eco-friendly bags from poly bags: they are also light, comfortable, can be folded to a minimum size and carried around in case of an unexpected purchase.
For the inmates of Desnyanskiy Shelter for juveniles of Kiev district a wonderful workshop on linen bags painting was held. The art-lesson was a part of the Good Cause Every Day!promo event by the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation.
At the workshop the participants were involved in the fascinating creative process of redesigning of the same bags into the element of personal style. The teachers of the Azur art-studio brought to the children bags of natural linen and acrylic durable paints that do not fade and crack. It turned out that it was not necessary to have drawing skills when painting on fabrics: the children could enjoy the special stencils that allow to put different patterns and inscriptions on the fabric. At the same time the children were not limited in the choice of the pictures. Every kid could show his or her imagination. In a few hours the guys created unique handmade accessories out of simple bags!
Original painted eco-bags will please the children for a long time and remind everyone that handmade things always exude warmth and positive emotions. For those results with love in our hearts we are building a new world!

Light graffiti or freeze light is a new kind of urban art which allows drawing of wonderful pictures with the help of light. Paint cans, markers and other art tools are unnecessary in this kind of painting. Light graffiti is a very exciting and fun time spending which is fully harmless for facades of city houses. As a part of the Good Cause Every Day! promo event by the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation a bright master class on light painting was held for the children from multi-child Kostenko, Plohih, Danyuk and Misyura families.
An experienced photographer Vitaly Motruschenko taught the children how to do a light graffiti. He told the young guests of the TimeStudia photostudio that the darkness and the modern camera it's all that a light graffiti artist needs. The presence of multiple sources of light is strictly forbidden; otherwise the picture quality will suffer.
The photographer put special camera settings, set it on a tripod and pulled the trigger. At this time in the dark the boys and girls painted everything they wanted with bright flashlights in front of the camera lens. Slow shutter speed allows to draw any character or letter. The kids were thrilled when on the pictures they clearly saw unusual glowing figures and patterns.
You should choose the instrument of painting by yourself: flashlights, sparklers. The most important thing for the artist is to have a fantasy and desire to create. A kind of "brush" does not matter", — Vitaly shared with us.
We believe that the children from the multi-child Kostenko, Plohih, Danyuk and Misyura families had a great time and discovered a new kind of creativity. After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!

At the charity project there were no restrictions and rules for young creators – only a desire to create something new and explore the world!
"While playing, we are changing the world" – this motto of the Igropolis planet very accurately illustrates the lessons of its first inhabitants, children from orphanages. "The Igropolis planet is a free space for children's creativity. Here every child can discover the creative potential and make a masterpiece with his own hands. Today, we have helped to touch the unique world of creativity the children who, for one reason or another have been deprived of parental warmth. We will continue to support such projects", – says Natalya Kolesnik, President of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation .

In order to increase knowledge about the ancient Kiev for the kids from Lugovskih, Kostenko and Plohih families an unusual journey through the ancient Kievan pharmacy was organized. The excursion began in one of the historic districts of Kiev at the Podol. Here the first Kiev pharmacy was.
The metropolitan pharmacy looked like a large room furnished with furniture of the XIX century. An old cash register and a lot of fancy jars on the shelves attracted the children’s attention.
Museum staff showed the guys the office of a pharmacist. In the old days a pharmacist was also a doctor, so he did not only prepare medicines, but also communicated with patients. The children also saw a basement laboratory of an alchemist with a large high table and diverse apothecary utensils, an old cell where people were treated with prayer and a wise woman hut full of dried herbs. Totally families visited the 12 halls with a unique history and old pharmacy exhibits.
Further there was an interactive lesson on potion making, the children did not only learn the history of herbal tea and learn all the details of its preparation, but they also have experienced the power of this miracle drink by themselves!

With the support of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation in Kiev the first Centre for identifying natural abilities of school-age children opened. The project was implemented within the framework of the Revival of Cultural and Moral Values program of the Ukrainian Tomorrow Foundation and is intended to promote the transformation of Ukraine into the intellectual center of scientific, technological and socio-cultural creativity. We believe that talented children and youth will contribute to large-scale social changes that will make our country prosperous in the near future!
The Tomorrow psychological Center with the catchy name is located on Garmatna 26 /2 Street at Rostok cultural centre and works for free.
Professional psychologists who have been trained using modern techniques of computer-based testing work with children in the new Centre. The task of the psychologists of the Centre is to explain to the child what the tests consist of, how they work and for what they are needed. Then they test the child, make a report and provide parents with the results in an accessible way, together with recommendations on how to develop their child's abilities. The results of the tests and the recommendations of the psychologists are confidential and are for parents only.
The Tomorrow Center uses unique licensed test programs that are relevant to the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. In particular, the Universal-4 technique was developed at the Gifted Child Institute of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine.
The Tomorrow Kiev Center is the second in Ukraine, we recall that about a year ago in Stry (Lviv region) the first Ukrainian Centre was opened, which has already shown its effectiveness — by the moment it has tested over 500 children.
Every child can be tested. Every kid has a spark of God and personal talent. We are planning to initiate the establishment of similar Centres throughout Ukraine, — said Alexander Chubatenko, a Chairman of the board of the Tomorrow Foundation.
We invite you to visit the new free psychological Center! Hurry up, because the main task of parents is to to consider and develop the best talent of their children in time.
Teaching is the only light according to the proverb, it is also a freedom.
Nothing liberates man so as knowledge ...

We live in the age of new technologies that are rapidly penetrating into all spheres of our life; children today often do not even realize how people spenе their time before the invention of a computer. It is necessary to remind the younger generation about the past, because without it there is no future. The Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation invited students from multi-child Bogdanovy, Ogurcovy and Haniny families to plunge into history and visit a lesson in Old Russian school. The interactive event was organized as a part of the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event. In the playful way a lesson-excursion was held for girls and boys, during it the children learned how Old Russian school looked like, what subjects were studied at those times. The teacher told how and in what way students were taught in the old days. She also introduced to the guys an Old Slavonic alphabet, the children even tried to write texts in the Old Slavonic language. All the children really enjoyed writing with real goose feathers. It was very exciting and at the same time not a simple task. The kids learned what means the method of «carrot and stick» and what it meant in ancient times. The girls and boys were able to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the old school and feel what our ancestors being pupils experienced. The excursion into history turned out incredibly informative, the children broaden their horizons and increased erudition. Our Foundation continues the series of informative lessons for children from multi-child families, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!All the children like balloons. Probably it is so because this simple toy encompasses all the power of childhood, with its ability to enjoy the small, be surprised with something new and to dream.Together with the laboratory of scientific entertainment Vesela Nauka the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation decided to show the children from the large Dutka and Pavlenko families that with a help of conventional balloon the physical laws can be known. The project was a part of the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event.
The workshop for children held a children's favourite teacher the Professor Theorem. She proved to the children that balloons – a priceless material to observe physical phenomena and performances of various physical experiments.
Before starting the interesting experiments the teacher gave to all children the funniest invention of mankind – balloons. She told how to inflate balloons without blowing air into them by mouth. Then, with the help of an "air kiss" experiment the boys and the girls saw the law of aerodynamics in action. The children also learned that from inflated balloons it is possible to do air barbecue! The guys were very surprised when they saw that the balloon can be pierced so that it will not burst.
In the end of the workshop everyone did modelling of balloons. If someone thought that it is very difficult to do toys out of the balloons, the Professor Theorem proved otherwise. It turned out that it is actually very easy and fun! Children have learned by themselves how to make funny characters in the technique of twisting and received a lot of positive emotions. No one went home empty-handed, the each child had a unique funny handmade toy.
The Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation continues to show children from multi-child families the secrets of nature around us, because for this with love in our hearts we are building a new world!

This day brought a lot of new experiences for the children. We believe that our projects encourage the development of the younger generation, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
Summer is a hot time. It is simply impossible to imagine summer days without such a refreshing and sweet treat like ice cream.
Ice cream – a favorite sweet from childhood. Not only children, but also adults like ice cream. Our Foundation is sure that the care of the older generation is the direct responsibility of young people. So when the administration of the Kiev Labor veterans’ boarding house asked the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation to present their inhabitants some ice cream, we immediately responded.
When the management of the Foundation knew that retirees want to experience the sense of joy and happiness as in childhood again, it was decided to make sweet surprises for more than one nursing home.
As a part of The Older Generation – That's We in the Future program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation interviewed all the nursing homes in Kiev and the region. As a result, residents of four nursing homes who wanted to participate in the project got the ice cream. Kiev Labor veterans’ boarding home, Evrodom nursing home, the Natalia Uzhviy home of the veterans of the scene and Korosten’ center for social protection and rehabilitation of senior citizens participated in the project of the Foundation. More than 600 packs of ice cream were handed out. All the grandparents were happy to taste the cool dessert.
As a poet and novelist Thomas Macaulay said — A small good deed is better than the most solemn promises to do the impossible. Following this idea, our Foundation continues to make pleasant surprises for Ukrainian nursing homes. After all, older people deserve that we always remember about them and do not forget to please them with care and attention.
For this with love in our hearts we are building a new world!

All this was perfectly complemented with modern characters – Verka Serduchka and amusing guys from the popular Tick band. The visitors from Poland and Slovakia also organically fit into the world of Caucasian cuisine and Ukrainian hospitality. "The noise, swearing, mooing, bleating, roaring – all fused into a single discordant voices", – this is how Nikolai Gogol described an event almost two centuries ago.

The most popular destination for lovers of extreme sports became a climbing wall, which was installed by benefactors next to the main stage. Could the author of Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka imagine that in the centre of a fair glorified by him a few centuries a huge "rock" would appear? There were so many people wishing to conquer the impregnable Sorochyntsi top that near the "rock" a long queue for health and a positive attitude formed quickly. It is interesting, that at the climbing wall adults met with the very young climbers.
Next to the climbing wall at the foundation’s playground creative workshops for the public were settled. Under the guidance of experienced artists and designers the visitors of the fair learned how to create a traditional Ukrainian souvenir doll-motanku, and hand-made strips bracelets. All the time the body-art studio was working, where everyone could get a free unique pattern on the body.
"Sorochinskaya Fair is a part of Ukrainian history and traditions of the Ukrainian people. Positive emotions, joy and bright experiences create an indescribable atmosphere of the holiday. That is why we have decided this year to join the trade fair on the Sorochintsy field. We were pleased to contribute to the current Sorochyntsi Fair and the revival of Ukrainian traditions", - Natalia Kolesnik, the President of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation.
Under the leadership of unsurpassed master at the Foundation’s playground a variety of dynamic entertaining games and competitions were continuously held. Basketball, frisbee, jump competition with a skipping rope and many sporting events in which both children and adults competed.

With the help of this masterpiece of computer technology everyone could take photos with their friends for free and immediately send the pictures to social networks.
"Sports and entertainment area of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation gathered all those wishing to experience themselves and their strength. It was nice that people liked our playground. Many of them came later and thanked us,"– Tatiana Krupskaya, the Foundation’s project manager.

It is very important for our foundation to develop the children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Within the Road To Life For Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event the educational Perfume Laboratory workshop was organized. A Ditsul family-type orphanage and a Professor Teorema from the Merry Science team delved into the wonderful aroma world of essential oils.
At the beginning of the class the Professor arranged a little workout on associative thinking: the children were asked to guess what kind of flavor they were offered, and then reflect it with a particular color on paper. Then the process of making perfumes began.
As it turned out, the basis for a parfume is made usually out ofalmond oil, since it has virtually no smell. Such interesting and fun chemistry facts were told by the Professor Teorema. Also the children from the family-type orphanage learned that the human nose distinguishes several hundred odors. After making their first parfume the family began to develop a "sachet" – dry spirits and little "bombs" for the bathroom.
In addition to getting amazing theoretical knowledge in chemistry and physics, the children were able to see it all in practice and also to create with their own hands the wonderful crafts and gifts for family and friends. At our workshops combining knowledge of new facts, creative work and games, we allow the family-type orphanages develop in children the desire for knowledge and reveal their potential.

The chefs took care of the sweets: for dessert the children have cooked an incredible panna cotta with orange marmalade and strawberry mojito!
Our young chefs could not wait to begin working on all these dishes in tandem with professional chefs. Even the smallest kid, Dunyasha, without testing herself as a cook before, vigorously carried out all instructions of chefs and assured all present that since now she is going to help her mother in the kitchen.We gladly watched the children's faces lit up with joy, because today their first culinary debut held! It's safe to say that such workshops help children discover their abilities and instill a love of work and bring great joy to the kids what they did! After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
Under the Smile Makes Everyone Happier program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo action the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation organized a fascinating river cruise for children from the Shamrai cfamily-type orphanage, who have dreamt a lot about this cruise.
The children have made an unforgettable journey along Dnipro, enjoyed fresh air, saw the beautiful scenery of the left and right bank of Dnipro, the ancient temples of Podol and golden domes of St. Andrew’s Church.
Our children were excited by the beauty of the capital's waterfront and cozy Trukhaniv island beaches , covered by dense vegetation.
We are sure that today the whole family discovered new, awesome and majestic Kyiv, and the walk along the river has given them a lot of bright impressions! After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
In one of our previous publications, we have already mentioned the wonderful world of 3D art, located in the Dream Town shopping center. 38 magical paintings surprised and attracted the attention of thousands visitors of the exhibition. And this is the place where the impossible becomes possible. This could personally experience the children from the Kaplunovs familu-type orphanage, who together with the Foundation visited the exhibition of 3D-painting under the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event.
Realistic "live" pictures have impressed all members of the family. And it is natural, since not every day you can stand with the Soviet flag on the Reichstag or ride a rubber boat on the stormy waves of the mountain river! Besides they could take a picture of all this to share their joy with their friends and acquaintances.
After the excursion, the family got only the most positive emotions! But the most important thing is that the children were able to personally experience the beauty of human creativity, for which there are no restrictions and standards. The picture as it turned out did not have to be closed by a frame in two dimensions. Like a flight of fantasy of an artist!
Let us together encourage brave decisions, creative experiments and curiosity of children! After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation continues the series of exciting micro-projects in the framework of the Road to Life for Every Child program and Good Cause Every Day! promo event. This time the multi-child Fisochenko family – little Nastya, Cyril, Karina and Yanina – acted as potters, and under the watchful eye of the Sakhno Art pottery workshop craftsmen they molded things, which used to be extremely important for our ancient ancestors hundreds of thousands years ago!
As soon as the children entered the studio, they began to discuss excitedly what they would make out of clay and of what shape it would be. They were looking forward to sitting down at the potter's wheel, which is why they were so happy to start work.
The children happily rolled out the clay and carefully made interesting things out of it. With a little patience and diligence, they created beautiful clay things: cups, vases, pots, plates and exciting figures! The children were happy, because all that they made with their own hands was unique and unrepeatable.
During the workshop the Fisochenko family got an unforgettable experience and a real flow of positive emotions! We are confident that this improvisation helped the children to discover their creative abilities and enjoy the work they did. While the workshop was running the children kept smiling happily, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
The Road to Life for Every Child program always wakes a sea of positive emotions and a great opportunity for children to self-actualize creatively. Just recently our charity foundation has held an exciting children's workshop on … making soap! Yes, do not be surprised – colorful natural soap which children made with their own hands! Over fifty children from the whole Kiev came to partake in the unusual workshop that our foundation and My Umnichka center for children’s development conducted in the Taras Shevchenko Park.
So much admiration shone on the children’s faces when they were creating their first "author’s bars of soap"! They could choose the color and shape, and even the smell of their future "soap composition."
But the most important thing about this workshop was that the children did their best not for themselves but for their beloved parents, grandparents, little sisters and brothers. The young craftsmen covered each bar of soap with pretty bright signatures that definitely brought up the warmest feelings in the children’s parents!
The foundation managers believe that it is essential to develop and encourage children's creativity. In this way we will not only be able to significantly strengthen Ukrainian families, but also advance our nation intellectually and economically. Join our foundation’s initiative, make useful crafts with your children, and you will not be disappointed! Because children are our future, and because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
On June 15, an exciting family event Z haty na kanaty, organized by the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation was held in Kiev.
People have an opportunity to spend a day with family, to try new types of entertainment and to recollect that they are one team. And all this was absolutely for free.
Parents with children, even families with very small children in their arms have passed rope route that had something similar to life. My Family - My Fortress and A Sound Mind in a Sound Body - T-shirts with such message received all the participants of the tournament as a gift. The fastest participants received from the foundation certificates to visit karting, zorbing, rollerdrome and other unusual and exciting entertainment to keep the excitement for active leisure time.
Different areas for outdoor activities were open for all participants during the event. These areas embodied an ideal family entertainment: workshops on cooking delicious vegetarian food, animators played with children in the development game, kids taught how to do origami, paint fairy pictures on children happy faces. For those who had a wish to gain knowledge on how to understand each other better, we organized a lecture on the harmony of family relation and a game-“alignment”, where parents and children virtually played roles of each other.
Cohesion and the team spirit were seen even in the names of family teams, which were about 70! Brave, nice, friendly Lytsari Svitla, Simyashky, Vedmedyky,Fiksiki (name of the Snezhana Egorova team) will remain in memory of each participant for a long time.
Implementing such programs as A Sound Mind in a Sound Body, I Am a Vegetarian and The Revival of Cultural and Moral, foundation didn’t forget about such aspect of cultural activity as taking care for their health and the environment. During the event all participants had an opportunity to do yoga or attend a master class on environmental issues.
Our dream has come true! We wanted to give people an opportunity to make a choice between spending leisure time in front of the TV or spend it together in active and a funny way. And we did it! We have made it possible for everyone to spend more time with their children and beloved, friends, to learn something new together and get positive emotions! We believe that Z haty na kanaty made families stronger. Therefore, at the request of many people Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation will organize one more family holiday this summer! Parents, children and spouse will have one more day to spend it together and become happier! You can find all information on the website and on social networks Vkontakte.ru and Facebook.com
with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation would like to express appreciation to all our partners:

• Oasis Yoga studio for taking care of physical and mental health of each guest.

Within the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation carries out not only micro projects, but also national family, maternal and child health programs.
One of these global initiatives is the project initiated by Kremenchug and Komsomolsk administrations, which is aimed at supporting the "Heroine mothers". With great pleasure we sent 70 modern crockpots to the best Ukrainian mothers as a memorable gift.
We hope that our small contribution will help to ease the house works of merited Ukrainian women.
Ukrainian "Heroine mother" is not just a woman who raised five or more children. It's a real homemaker, faithful to her sacred duty, a gentle wife, caring mother, dear to each of us. Since the birth moment we are surrounded by love and attention of our mothers, and they made our future come true!
It is impossible to convey in words the priceless feat of Ukrainian mothers: give birth, raise a child, and give him a decent start in life. The mother is willing to sacrifice the most precious thing she has for a better future of her children! So, perhaps, no one would argue that we are all indebted to our mothers.
The importance of the honorary title "Heroine mother" is hard to overestimate - not accidentally a reward for the best of mothers is obtained directly from the President of the country. And we are very pleased with the fact that the Ukrainian so many remarkable women – the true builders of family happiness!
Of course, we will not be able to fully repay the Mothers for their invaluable sacrifice and unconditional love with material gifts only. So we have to respond our dear Mothers with affection, warmth, smiles and attention!
After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation continues to organize exciting visits to the Experimentarium museum of popular science and technology under the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event. Thanks to its interesting exhibits every visitor can "touch" the science and make a lot of new discoveries. We are pleased to note that such interactive learning is invaluable.
Bright vivid examples help children to grasp complex science material and understand its practical implementation.
In one of the earlier publications we already mentioned this unusual museum. At this time along the Foundation managers invited to Experimentarium the children from the Kuznetsov family. Our little visitors in practice saw the laws of physics, chemistry, optics, acoustics, biology, mechanics and levitation work, and also solved many scientific riddles and puzzles. As if they were real researchers the children got acquainted with optical illusions, a live micro-tornado model. They played the piano and electronic drums, measured the volume of their voices and arranged a real soap bubble show. And they also tremendously enjoyed and even laughed while passing a mirror maze in the dark!
Education can be fun and entertaining, and happy children’s faces prove it! After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
As a part of the A Sound Mind in a Sound Body program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation conducts a series of visits to the rollerdrome for children from Kiev orphanages of family type. Time well-spent on a modern sports ground gives children a flow of positive emotions, teaches them to socialize and instills love to an active lifestyle. That is why our Foundation will continue to arrange days of active recreation for children, including trips to rollerdromes.
This time eight children from the Yarovy family happily skated on the roller rink. The smallest boy — Ilyusha – will remember this day forever, because he overmastered the disobedient rollers for the first time! The children's faces were shining with happiness from the fun they had, spending the day like this and because of the care they received from the Foundation staff. And this is the most important thing for us, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
In the framework of the Smile Makes Everyone Happier program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation regularly holds children's tours . At this time the foundation pleased the children of Kiev children's family type home from the Ishchuk family, having discovered a unique world of the spherical cinema. Today there are 10 children in the family -– two own children and e eight step-children.
Family’s story is just amazing. Firstly parents made a major decisionto adopt two girls. And during the visit to the orphanage they noticed a little boy who, after being not adopted by the family, just ran behind them. This is how the Ishchuks adopted the son. And this boy had a brother, who also lived in the same orphanage , so he also was accepted to a big happy family. After a while the Ishchuks were asked to take four more children abandoned by other family-type homes. They agreed and now remember this chance, given them by fate with great joy. Our Charity Foundation appreciates responsible parents’ feat, so we decided to please them: with nice souvenirs and a visit to the cinema.
With admiration children looked at the ATMASFERA 360 theater majestic dome, where projectors broadcasted the 3D motion movie about space, planets, mysterious and fantastic travel. The video was so realistic that it seemed one could touch its unknown stars and the universe with one’s hand. Small audience not only learned about the structure of our galaxy, but also got personally acquainted with each planet. Thus, only one film combined astrology, physics and chemistry lessons. It would be great if every school in our country took this positive example.
Unique andperhaps the only Ukrainian theater of this kind is the biggest one in Europe. In addition, ATMASFERA 360 can be proud of its positive role in the development of Ukrainian society. Indeed, it raises such important l issues as “Where are we from?”, ”What is the fate of our lives?”, ”What is our purpose and place in this world?”. Not surprisingly, the children left the room satisfied and intrigued, eager to learn and make their own discoveries.
The spherical movie is a unique form of family entertainment, a fascinating journey into the exciting fantastic reality. Spend more time with your family, learn the world with your children, and in the future they will thank you for the positive experiences that you gave them!
Let's together with love in our hearts build a new world!
On April 29 glorious feast of Easter came to the students of Special educational boarding school № 18, who decided to spend this holiday together with Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation. As a part of the Good Cause Every Day! promo action employees of the Foundation organized a creative workshop, where together with students made out decorative Easter eggs using a "decoupage" technique. Teachers’ sincere hearts and kids’ attention helped us to conduct workshop on a higher level.
Together we chose the beautiful ornaments and started our work. Traditional Ukrainian krashanki in creative children's hands turned into bright and unusual works of art. Children got a chance to express their personality, so our holiday eggs revealed completely different styles! Some works reminded eastern fairy tale, some – the famous Faberge eggs, and someone painted the traditional Easter greetings "Christ is Risen!"
Our charity foundation promotes the development of children's creativity and enjoys working with children's institutions. After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!

Pupils are confident that humanity really need their inventions. For example, the 11-th grade student of the Information technology Lyceum of the Alexandria City Coucil, Kirovograd Region, Daniil CHEREVASHKO introduced a portable device to clear any kind of water – rain, river, etc. You can take this device on camping trips and always have on hand to clean drinking water.

Our charity supports young inventors’ innovations, and we believe that only with love we will build a new world!
Nobody tells his neighbor: "Why do you not love me?" But, making things worthy of love himself, draws his neighbor closer to love.
St. John of Kronstadt
If we want the other people to believe us, we should live well; and if we want to be loved, we will love the others.
The Rev. Isidore Pelusiot
Our neighbor’s love to us is our hands: it depends entirely on the strength and depth of our love for the neighbor.
Reverends Varsonofy Great and John
Do not expect from the neighbors more than they can do for us. Otherwise we will be disappointed, will fabricate something nonexistent, and spoil everything.
Elder Thaddeus Vitovnitsky
It is impossible for anyone to get angry with his neighbor, if his heart is not lifted over him first, if he does not despise it, and does not consider himself better than him.
Abba Dorotheus
The one who possesses true love does not care if his love is appreciated or not. The sacrifice he makes loving his neighbour, he does not even remember afterwards.
Schemonk Paisios Svyatogorets
Do not seek and do not expect love from people, by all means seek and demand from yourselves love and compassion for people.
St. Ignatius Bryanchaninov
He, who has love, possesses no competition, no jealousy, no hatred, nor does he enjoy the falls of others, but sympathizes with them and takes part in them.
St. Ephraim the Syrian
In compassion there is such strong love hidden, that it is much stronger than the ordinary one. If you have compassion for another person, you begin to love him more.
Elder Paisios Svyatogorets
The mystery of love to the person starts at the very moment when we look at him or her without desire to own or by any means to use gifts or personality – but just look and marvel at the beauty of what is revealed to us.
Metropolitan Anthony Surozhsky
Love can give only when it forgets about itself.
Metropolitan Anthony Surozhsky
We all think that we know what love is and how to love. In fact, very often we can only feast on human relationships.
Metropolitan Anthony Surozhsky
You're longing for love, want to be loved...
This is your fault, give yourself away.
You are hungry, but how will you nourish the others?
If you were fed,
Full of spiritual graceful love,
Then you would not require love, but vice versa
Would warm the others, for it is said:
"Love," and not – "Be loved."
Hieromartyr Seraphim Zvezdinsky
The basis of human culture is the knowledge of national traditions. What seems to be primitive ancient rites, ancient everyday life and folk-art preserves and passes on valuable information - history, world vision and philosophy of our wise ancestors. The valuable information (history, world vision and philosophy of our wise ancestors) is preserved and transmitted in the primitive-like ancient rites, life and folk-art. It is very important that in the multiethnic age of informational technologies children continue to discover their country’s culture.
This is why the foundation staff eagerly responded to requests of the Gyodz, Mishenko and Khutorny families (family type orphanages where 10-15 stepchildren live in one big happy family) and helped them to organize a very informative and interesting Shrovetide celebration. From 13 to 15 of March as a part of the Good Cause Every Day promo event the foundation held a series of excursions for the children in the restored "Mamaeva Sloboda" village.During an entertaining walk the children got acquainted with authentic Ukrainian life-style, architecture, religion and attended a master class in making dumplings. They were surprised that text-book notions in real life turned out to be even more interesting than computer games and walks in the yard.
The children learned about the old Cossack "mobile connection", discovered the meaning of secret decor-signs in the village houses. They were also told about the way relationships were built and people behaved in a traditional Cossack village. And then, singing merry and lyrical folk songs, all the children made a national dish – dumplings filled with meat, fish or jam, which turned to be traditional Ukrainian fertility symbol during the "Kolodiy" holiday (later – Shrovetide). The "kitchen work" was enjoyable and interesting, because cooking can be done with love, turning monotonous pastry rolling into a magic and festive ritual, as our glorious ancestors did long ago!
The foundation employees appreciate the tour guides’ enthusiasm and sincerity, which they showed while telling the children about the spiritual traditions of the functioning Cossack church and stories of unusual Ukrainian icons (sharing the spiritual traditions of the functioning Cossack church and the stories of unusual Ukrainian icons with the children.
We admire the kindness and spiritual strength of the families who organized the family-type orphanages. The foundation representatives are glad that Ukraine has so many kind and noble people, who with their own example show the society that there are no “unwanted children”! It is important to remember that the Ukrainian nation, its culture and traditions are based first of all on eternal family values. This is why Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation gladly helps such families to revive the national cultural traditions and organizes tours for those who seek knowledge and spiritual development. With love in our hearts we are building a new world!

On the last day of winter on February 28 as a part of the Good Cause Every Day! promo event employees of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation visited Kyiv boarding school number 17. The purpose of the visit was somewhat unusual - to teach the kids the art of making the popular Korean songs from a long, narrow strips of paper called "quilling".
On February 27, under the The Road to Life For Every Child program and Good Cause Every Day! promo event the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation employees along with the "Interesting Kiev" excursion company arranged a fascinating walking tour around the Ukrainian capital Kiev for the Children sanatorium boarding school № 21.
In an interesting entertaining and playful way the children learned valuable information about the centuries-long Kiev history and discovered the secrets of the city, which the majority of native inhabitants are not even aware of.
The children were especially impressed by the famous "Landscape Alley" have caused, built in the historical center of Kiev in the early eighties of the previous century by the architect A.Miletsky. There one can find a variety of fairy-tale characters: hybrids of cats and centipedes, giant sparrows, fountains shaped like elephants fountains and many other amusing constructions. The children enjoyed having their photos taken there.
After visiting the alley the students of Kiev boarding school №21 got a chance to join in on high art by visiting the art gallery of the well-known artist Eugenia Gapchinska. Each of her paintings bears a great positive impulse which modern children need so much.
Excursion programs of Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation encourage the spiritual development of the Ukrainian nation, promote such fundamental principles as love of the historical heritage, respect for the older generation, positive mental attitude and patriotism. Spiritual recovery of the younger generation is one of the Charity Foundation’s main activities, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
With the financial support of the Konstantin Kondakov Foundation in Melitopol the tenth all-Ukrainian competitions in sport dancing. February 23 and 24 on the basis of Youth-3 to compete for the Cup of the newspaper "Vedomosti Melitopol 'representatives came to the floor 24 of the 46 cities of Ukraine dance clubs and had a real celebration of ballroom dancing. The smallest four-athletes ("super Bebik"), boys and girls under the age of 19 years and athletes in the category of "adult" demonstrated in this day their talent and professionalism.
On February 21 as a part of the Good Cause Every Day! promo event the representatives of Konstantin Kondakov’s Charity Foundation conducted origami workshops for the students of Sanatorium boarding school № 19 where children with spinal curvature study. On February 22 the children from Sviatoshinsky orphanage made amusing paper figures, and on February 26 - the students of Special boarding school № 11 for visually impaired children with profound study of artistic and aesthetic cycle did the same. How was it all happening?
After a brief description of the Japanese art history the organizers gave the children coloured paper, and a magical act of turning ordinary paper into beautiful figures began: they made original hearts, funny little green frogs, graceful swans, etc. Each participant wanted to show all their creative and artistic skills, and everyone did it pretty well.
Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation pays special attention to the wide spreading of children's origami, because this art is a unique way for children to develop spatial and logical thinking, to stimulate their creativity and the desire to invent. This is especially relevant for children with special needs.
The evening ended with traditional Japanese tea. The children received memorable gifts from the Foundation: cognitive, developmental board games and books detailing the process of creating origami - from simple to incredibly complex figures.
Making children part of traditional folk arts, believe members of the Foundation, instills in the rising generation insistent demand for creativity. The Foundation intends to keep promoting the art of origami in our country to encourage children to enquire useful skills, because with love in our hearts we are creating a new world!
Staff of the Konstantin Kondakov Foundation continue to give joy to the children. This time the lucky participants of the Road to Life for Every Child and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event were children from Special boarding school № 12 for children-orphans and those, deprived of parental care. Boarding school’s pupils have got a unique opportunity to plunge into the fabulous magical world of dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago, to learn how prehistoric reptiles were raising and protecting their children.
Cartoon-makers from the U.S. and South Korea have tried to make a bright colorful cartoon, which has everything to fascinate kids’ imagination: an ultramodern time machine, and a cute newborn baby dinosaur, loving, caring Dino mother, who spending all possible efforts, gave her entire self to foster kiddies. A good cartoon teaches kids to be brave, caring and attentive to each other.
Dozens of comical situations in the movie have caused a storm of positive emotions and laughter. The kids were in awe of dinosaurs’ fun jumps, spectacular scenery of the Jurassic period, good music, and of how bravely Dino Mom defended the welfare of her family.
There is no doubt that going to the cinema, organized by the International Charitable Foundation of Konstantin Kondakov, was a true success. Besides the sea of positive impressions of the trip, the children received a correct picture of the happy family, which they will be able to create in the future. This is very important, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
Charitable Foundation of Кonstantin Kondakov thanks to:
Manager of the cinema "Oscar" Victoria Dobrovolskaya and the distribution company "Kaskad Ukraine" for help in organizing the event.
Konstantin Kondakov’s Charitable Foundation inspired students of the boarding school № 23 (Kiev) on creativity and made the children happy. In the framework of the project Road to Life for Every Child and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event charity workers have organized a trip to the third-grade art gallery "Minus 4", where there is the largest in Europe Kaleidoscope, which is included in the "Ukrainian Book of Records"
Unusual excursion produced children an unforgettable experience for children! The boys looked happily into a giant fabulous car longer than 2 meters to see the unique color pictures. Kaleidoscope’s do not repeat for 500 million years! And every child saw something special, unique and magical. Therefore impressions of the trip organized by the Konstantin Kondakov’s Charity Fund will always remain in the form of happy memories. In memory of that day pupils of the boarding school № 23 took the unusual photos of themselves in a kaleidoscope.
This tour was organized in order to develop creativity in students and create a positive attitude. From a scientific point of view, the combination of colorful patterns in a kaleidoscope gives a powerful impetus to the development of creative thinking. After gazing at pictures in a kaleidoscope, the children’s both hemispheres of the brain work together!
Moreover, Kaleidoscope helps to reduce fatigue of the optic nerve, which is particularly important for the health of today's children, who spend a lot of time studying.

• Oksana Yuryevna Shevchenko for a very positive and unusual excursion for students of the boarding school № 23;
• Art gallery "Minus 4" (located in the Czech restaurant "Staromak" at the address: Artem Street, 37-41, 2nd floor) for their help in organizing the project "Kaleidoscope of emotions" under the project "Road to Life for Every Child".
