The story of a nine-year-old boy, Sergey, is, unfortunately, not unlike any other child’s story in the city of Kharkiv. From the very beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Sergey and his mother lived in the basement of their house to hide from bombs.
Mom has tried several times to move the family to a safer city but were unable to do so and had to remain in Kharkiv with their elderly grandparents. Sergey has a hearing disability and wears a cochlear implant. At school his second-grade classes are constantly interrupted by air raid sirens, which makes education very stressful. Our team of qualified specialists helps children with hearing disabilities and Sergey, in particular, to continue their important rehabilitation process.
Our specialists continue teaching new skills to develop auditory perception and speech. Additionally, they facilitate psychological rehabilitation, which is very important to our children.
Sergey is getting a lot of benefit from his online classes. In October 2023 we started planning for the upcoming online session by organizing applicants’ data, participant selection and organization of curriculum materials.
On October 11th 24 participants enrolled in our 3-week program. During that time our instructors received multiple messages of gratitude from children’s parents.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our sponsors for giving us resources to help our cause.
Kind regards,
*Child’s name was changed to protect his privacy
