Ñoncern Galnaftogaz helps physically challenged children to self-actualize

On the 20th of March, the sewing circle the purpose of which is to make soft toys for physically challenged children began its work. The circle will function within the framework of the project With childrens' hands, led by the SIFE students' club of Ivan Franko National University of L'viv with the assistance of Concern Galnaftogaz.

The purpose of the project is to give the possibility for the physically challenged young to fulfil their potential and own capabilities, as well as to enable them to incorporate into the common life process, and to give them the instrument for social rehabilitation.

Within the framework of the project twenty two children with the ICP from the rehabilitation center Dzherelo sewed 12 teddy-bears. Toys are filled with ecologically clean raw material – the buckwheat chaff.

Three children with Down's syndrome from the non-governmental organization Romashka were also involved in the project; each of them sewed one toy.

The first 15 toys will be sold during the auction in the network of conceptual restaurants FEST. The part of the funds raised is going to be spent on organization of summer rest for the young from Dzherelo center. Further all of the sewed toys will be sold as souvenir products at food service shops.
