Unexpected help
By Vladyslav Kasatkin | Project leader
Recently, our studio received unexpected support. A businessman from the Czech Republic came to Ukraine for a visit. Thanks to mutual friends, we were able to meet him. During the meeting, we told Richard about the work the children do in our project. He was impressed. As a result of the meeting, our studio acquired another donor. Thank you, Richard! We will use the funds you've provided to purchase the veneer needed to produce the marquetry panels.
The children happily thanked Richard for his support and gave him one of the panels made in the workshop. We hope the donor will like it and that it will be a good memory of us.

The implementation of the next stage of the project of our foundation “WOODINS Teen Studio” within the framework of the open grant competition “Integrated Humanitarian Response in War and Post-War Recovery” is coming to an end.
Three months of painstaking work that opened up new horizons for our social project. Thanks to the grant, we created a full video course for online learning in the art of assembling mosaic images from wood veneer. 12 video lessons have been assembled that will provide the student with the initial knowledge sufficient to start independent work.
Now we can work with teenagers from any corner of Ukraine. All students need is a desire.
As part of this stage of the project, we have added 25 new students to our collaboration. Several of them are from IDP families, and most of them are girls from our community of DIA children. Of course, not everyone will like such a thing. But there are already several students who are fascinated by this magical art and have a strong desire to continue their studies and further cooperation.
Participation in WOODINS Teen Studio allows a teenager to earn money through tireless, interesting and creative work, in their free time from school and without leaving home. We give the emerging personality the understanding that work is not a punishment or a heavy duty. But above all, an opportunity for self-realization and a creative approach.
We express our sincere gratitude to the ICF "Alliance for Public Health" for the opportunity to develop the activities and influence of our studio!
*The mini-grant is implemented within the framework of the project "Integrated Humanitarian Response in War and Post-War Recovery" with the financial support of DEC (Department of Emergency Situations, Great Britain). The project, which aims to support communities, is aimed at ensuring urgent humanitarian, social and medical needs and a dignified life in crisis conditions, is being implemented by the NGO "CF "I Hope and Believe" with the technical support of Christian Aid and under the coordination of the ICF "Alliance of Public Health"*
