June 1, 2023 Kidsave hosted an all-day celebration for International Children’s Day in Ukraine! Three separate events in Mykolaiv, Prybuzke village, and Zelenyi Hai village brought food, fun, and joy to over 270 children! This was a huge effort and would not have been possible without the help from the Angels of Hope team, our partner Sunrise of Dreams in Mykolaiv, the young adults and mentors from our Pathway to Success program, and our dedicated sponsors at Boeing and KFC.
