The children were also treated with refreshments, including juices, burgers, sweets, and fruit. The Social Department noted that many of these children, due to difficult life circumstances, have been deprived of proper parental care, making attention and support especially important to them.

"The most precious thing for us is to see children's eyes light up with joy. We want there to be as many such warm, happy, and unforgettable moments in their lives as possible," said Anna, a staff member of the department.

Previously, the UOJ reported that humanitarian aid from the Chernivtsi Diocese was delivered to the Sviatohirsk Lavra.
