On the 10th October 2022, a missile struck the playground of Shevchenko park, in central #Kyiv, where many children, including Tetyana Nesterchuk's & my family, had found joy in the midst of war. You may recall that shortly afterwards we started a fundraising campaign on LinkedIn, with the help of registered charity Prospero World in the UK and their partners the Klitschko Foundation in #Ukraine, to bring the joy of play back to children who have already endured so much. So many of you kindly donated, and I thought you might like to know what happened next... After the rebuilding of Shevchenko playground was funded by another kind donor in the meantime, we decided to deploy the funds towards the construction of a sports playground at Shevchenko Gymnasium, a school 32km outside #Kyiv which had been occupied by Russian forces and was in a very bad state of repair. The sports playground is, thanks to your support, in place and now being enjoyed by 363 pupils at the school, as well as the 4,000 other inhabitants of the village. This would not have happened without your donations. We recently held an opening ceremony online with children and teachers from the school, and they told us directly what a real difference you have made to their lives. So, to all who donated, a huge THANK YOU.   On this St Nicholas day, as we ready ourselves for Christmas, our thoughts are very much not only with our own children, but also with the children of Ukraine. With the playground complete, we are proud to be establishing a new fund to support children in Ukraine and to spread a little more light in the dark. We have teamed up again with our friends at Prospero World to make this happen.   We will be focusing in particular on the reconstruction and redecoration of damaged and gloomy bomb shelters, so that they are not only safe and secure but welcoming for those families and children who are forced to spend so much time inside them sheltering from the Russian attacks. The average cost of repairing a bomb-shelter is £2,000. At the last count, our partners had a list of 40 shelters in urgent need of repair.   If you are able to make a donation this St Nicholas day, to support the programme, we would be hugely grateful.
