Enjoying Life: Lunch

You should always come to the orphanage in a good mood - it's the law. Because our wards notice everything and do their best to cheer you up: with jokes, smiles, and even treat you to candy.

Enjoying Life: Lunch

For more than two years now, I have been distributing food to Ba and Di in the house in Dorohozhychi, where we have become a big family with our wards, where I know about the news, troubles and joys, where we miss each other, help and support each other because we live nearby, and I am grateful to the "Enjoying Life" foundation for the opportunity to be useful

Enjoying Life: Lunch

After the full-scale invasion began, I found myself in Kyiv, originally from the Kherson region. Finding myself in a new place, without friends, I joined "Enjoying Life: Lunch". I come to the house in Dorohozhychi to help the elderly. I like it.
