Revealing the Unusual History of Kiev to Children

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.

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!
