Narrative report of the first year of the war 2022

We feel it is important to develop handicap children in a playful way. Equine
assisted therapy is an effective way which has already been used in other
countries for many years. In Ukraine it is quite new, so it would be a huge step
forward if we could help more children in Transcarpathia.

The car was driving into the yard right up to the horses. I got angry. How
can they be so impudent to drive into the yard of the farm! The door of the

In 2010 our foundation was established to support young adult orphans and handicap children. We are situated in the western part of Ukraine in a town called Vynohradiv, Transcarpathia. Our aim is to give hope and care to the young adults and children who use our facilities and give them the best possible opportunity to develop themselves. We would also like to teach them to love and care about nature and the environment. In the last 14 years we have been co-ordinators for World Servants a Dutch Christian organisation working in different parts of Transcarpathia. We took part in renovations of kindergartens, schools, orphanages and therapy centres.

All experiences during our life, all what we go through, positive or negative
have formed us, it is collected in our hearts. In the last few years we have met
many wonderful people from other countries and many local people who have
had a huge effect on us. We have many blessings in our life and we feel that it
is time to share the love, the care, the fun and the joy.
