Support for Children with Down Syndrome During War

Dear friends,

Thank you for supporting our inclusive camp project for families, where children with Down syndrome and their parents gain a space for development, relaxation, and mutual support.

Over the past three months, there were no active camp sessions, as our camps traditionally take place during the summer season. However, this period has been important for preparing the next phase of the project.

What we accomplished during this period:

• Conducted an internal analysis of the previous camp season to evaluate what worked best and which activities were most beneficial for parents and children;
• Collected feedback from families who participated this year, which will help us improve the next sessions;
• Worked on the logistics of “CAMP–2026” (location selection, budgeting, and planning new activities);
• Maintained communication with partners who may contribute to funding the next camp;
• Updated project materials to better communicate its value to potential donors.

Financial Update

Funds collected earlier are being accumulated on the project’s balance and will be used to organize upcoming camp sessions.

Next Steps

We are already planning for the next season to welcome more families and create a safe, supportive environment. In our next update, we will share specific dates, formats, and preparations for the first session.

Your continued partnership is what enables us to move forward. Thank you for your trust and for helping us transform the lives of families together!

Dear Friends,

This summer, thanks to your support, we organized two six-day inclusive camping sessions, each bringing together more than 100 participants — 20 parents and 30 children per session.

The camp became a space where families could combine rest with development and communication in a circle of those who understand and support them.
Children had the opportunity to develop social skills, take part in team games and creative workshops, while parents were able to restore their energy, exchange experiences, and gain new ideas for interacting with their children.

The atmosphere was filled with trust, support, and acceptance. As one mother said:
"At the camp, for the first time in a long while, we could simply enjoy time together. My child was happy, and I felt that I was not alone in my struggles."

We believe that such experiences inspire families, strengthen relationships, and give new strength to overcome challenges.
Thank you for being part of this important story!
Your support truly makes a difference — every shared moment brings more light and hope to families. We’re already looking forward to next year’s camp and the opportunity to create even more joyful memories together.
