Open Fun Football Schools Marathon
The people of Dunaivtsi in the Khmelnytsky region have launched a marathon of Open Fun Football Schools focusing on psychosocial activities in the Western regions of Ukraine.
Together with the Khmelnytsky Regional Football Association and the Dunayevets District Football Association, the Ukrainian Football Association has launched open football lessons to help displaced children integrate into host communities and make friends with local children.
Local schools received 150 soccer balls and a large number of other sports equipment for football events, volunteers were dressed in sports suits, and each child will have a project T-shirt and a participant’s diploma in memory.
It should be noted that within the project, the families of migrants are provided with humanitarian aid in the form of medical, food kits and basic necessities.
The children were greeted at the central stadium in Dunaivtsi by the mayor Velina Zayats, the chairman of the Khmelnytsky regional football association Ihor Khiblin and the coordinator of the project from UAF Yevhen Stolitenko.
