Thanks to you, the children were able to attend the "Vacation with Meaning" program and gain valuable skills!

With your support, we held another outreach program, "Vacations with Meaning," for orphans from the Smolensk and Yaroslavl regions! The program's objectives included engaging teenagers in independent problem-solving and problem-solving; gaining firsthand experience in achieving results; teaching high school students new social and everyday skills; developing communication and teamwork skills; and developing psychological resilience by introducing the concepts of resilience, personal boundaries, control, risk acceptance, and practicing new skills through exercises. They tried their hand at team-building games, attended resilience training with a psychologist, learned how to navigate unfamiliar terrain, developing the skills necessary for independent adult life, and allowing them to get to know the city before graduating from a child care facility, thereby reducing anxiety about being in new places after entering secondary and higher education institutions. They also played a financial board game developed by the foundation's staff for our teenagers from orphanages. According to the game's plot, the players have just turned eighteen, becoming adults and needing to learn to balance their studies, work, and time for themselves. During the game, the teenagers learned about the main expenses and incomes of adulthood, as well as the main types of subsidies to which orphans and children left without parental care are entitled. At the end, everyone exchanged warm words, expressed gratitude, and expressed hopes for future meetings and participation in the foundation's future outreach programs.
