Gratitude

So the book of 2019 is completed. The last page is added. Closed. What is in it in this book? What was she like? Have the read lines in each soul been withdrawn, or have they remained empty and misunderstood? Nevertheless, the work was not in vain, and the book was presented to the reader ...

Do not judge strictly. It may not be full of a variety of events, but it is written with love and empathy, with the joy of victories and future hopes, with faith in the good and the best qualities of man.

We were pleased with the stories about the sports achievements of children from boarding schools in Poltava and the Poltava region. With what enthusiasm and energy they participated in futsal, table tennis and beach soccer tournaments! The guys from the universities of Poltava did not lag behind them in futsal competitions. The joy of victory shone on young faces and gave strength to overcome difficulties and failures. I would like to heartily thank our colleagues who were involved in the preparation and conduct of sports activities for their work, patience and spent nerves.

Special thanks to the English football club Chelsea. Your company gifts and mastery of team play inspired the guys, instilled faith in their own strengths, and directed them towards achieving sporting heights.

We sincerely thank the teams of Poltava Pedagogical University named after V.G. Korolenko, and the Poltava factory of medical glass, which provided their sports complexes for children's competitions.

The children of the Oncohematological Department of the Poltava City Hospital also lit a spark of hope. The joy was reflected in the children's eyes, exhausted by the disease, when the English lessons brightened up their hospital days. Many thanks to the treating staff for tireless work and sleepless nights for the benefit of small patients. We sincerely hope that our help was necessary and useful for these children.

In preparation for the school, stationery for boarding schools in the Poltava region was transferred. We thank the teams of the Lubensky Tuberculosis Children's Sanatorium, the Varvarov Special Boarding School, the Mikhailov Special Boarding School, for the tireless work and care for the children, for the love, patience and time that you give them.

Also, by the beginning of the school year, stationery was given to Sunday schools. We thank the staff of Sunday schools in the Poltava and Kiev regions who help to unveil the world of faith for children and teach them how to preserve the image of a true person in the world around them.

It was amazing meeting with hearing impaired people. Their world seems incomprehensible and partly strange for us, but when they meet, they come to understand how deeply emotional, responsive and friendly these people are. We managed to financially help to conduct pilgrimage trips and the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Orthodox community of the deaf at the Holy Trinity Ioninsky Monastery. We thank the community for their hard work and efforts to fill the world of deaf people with a full life.

We thank all those who helped us implement our plans. Without your zeal, the book would not have been completed ...

A blank page of a new book is already open. Ink and paper are waiting ...

We believe that the new will begin with good events and we will have the opportunity to give joy and hope to many people. Indeed, in this world everything is fragile and life teaches us to appreciate the moment it has gifted.
