We held a festival for students at the Mariupol Music College.
Our team is absolutely delighted with the reaction of the youth to the call for volunteering: glowing eyes, awareness of decisions, talents of the guys, activity and positivity - all this at the festival.
We look to the future with great hope, because it will definitely be intertwined with this college. Thanks to the teachers and the guys for a wonderful time!
🎬 A short video about the festival in our telegram channel.

The Festival "Moving by Good" was held in Donetsk Pedagogical College.
We carefully conveyed to students the idea that a good Teacher is a person with a volunteer heart, filled with the desire to hold a child close to his heart. "I am a volunteer" is a decision that will affect not only the personality of the future teacher, but also the profession he chooses, and therefore, the fate of many children.

06/07/2024 - season-ending meeting with teenage volunteers.
We continue to grow and develop. This time, leaders were selected among young volunteers who were ready to take responsibility for the further development of the volunteer spirit in the youth team in Mariupol.
Feedback from a volunteer leader:
“Lyuba, hello!
I wanted to thank you for your trust. Your decision was a big surprise for me, because in our large team there are many worthy people and there are those who have been with you for a long time. I joined in the fall of 2023 and haven’t regretted it one bit. I really enjoy it and it seems like something I've been missing in my life.
I am actively searching for myself, so I don’t stop looking for additional tasks and activities. I was never afraid of the workload, even if it was too much. As I said, I manage my time wisely – I had to learn this quickly.
And if I come across tasks that I have never encountered, I boldly move forward, looking my fears straight in the eye. For me, one of the main qualities of a person is courage and perseverance. Everything I do is not just a part, it’s a big part of me and I can’t imagine my existence without it. I would instantly become empty.
I am very grateful to you and the rest of the Senior Volunteers for your support and trust. I was surprised that, among all the unique guys, they paid attention to me. I'm very pleased.
When I was younger, I was afraid to engage in social activities. I heard condemnation, misunderstanding and even insults directed at me. This is, to some extent, thankless work and I began to think that all this was nonsense and it was better to stop before they “throwed tomatoes at me.” But still, this is my favorite thing and without it I am empty, I had to step over myself and endure a lot in order to achieve respect and attention.
The most important thing is that I remained human and to this day I accept victories and well-deserved awards with modesty and great gratitude.
It is always difficult to be a leader, both physically and mentally, but I do not refuse difficulties - I accept them!
It seems that the time has come to fully show all my inner beauty. You can always rely on me."

On this trip, we had the honor to present our program to the Acting Head of the Municipal Formation of the Mariupol Urban District - Oleg Valerievich Morgun.
We agreed on further interaction and support of the administration in the implementation of our “Good in Donbass” program in Mariupol.

During this trip, we donated methodological literature and manuals from the Sfera Publishing Center LLC to the education department of Mariupol and the Volnovakha region.

06/01/2024 - festival “Moved by Good” for student youth. We thank the administration of the State Budgetary Educational Institution "Mariupol Construction Specialized College" (MSPC) for the warm welcome and assistance. “Our teenagers are prickly, get used to it” - these were the words the college staff greeted us with. Indeed, it was not easy to win the favor of the guys, but it still worked! By the end of the festival, we saw completely different eyes, open, trusting eyes, sincere smiles, tears of gratitude and a desire to be like us - volunteers!
The very next day we received a letter from one of the festival participants, who confirmed to us that we were doing everything right!
“Vitya, hello! Yesterday at the festival of goodness, you all filled me with smiles, kindness and positivity. I felt that I also wanted to do something nice for others. I wanted to pass on the energy that you shared with me yesterday to others. June 1 is Children's Day. I made cards with congratulations for the guys and took a lot of different sweets. Today I walked down the street and gave gifts to children. It was the most pleasant to hear words of gratitude ☺️ I just wanted to say that the thoughts you gave us are spreading further and further... It is very valuable. That is, the scale of your actions is much greater. Thank you for coming to us, what you are doing, “volunteering”, rocking!”

February 2024 - first trip this year to Donbass.
During this trip, we visited 3 schools in Mariupol, 2 schools in the Mangushevsky district and schools in the urban-type settlements “Donskoye” and “Zlatoustovskoye” in the Volnovakha district.
The project opened with a festival for teenagers in Mariupol, Sartana, and Yalta.
We awarded our system volunteers with gifts and encouraged new participants to join the project.
A special feature of this trip was the participation of the parents of our young volunteers in master classes for children. The teenagers, together with their parents, helped elementary school children in their schools, which brought them very close.
“Donbass is my family” events were held in all schools. In total, 1800 children took part in our events:
- played board games with meaning;
- participated in dancing, as in a therapeutic master class;
- in sports relay races we learned to work as a team;
- made handicrafts for family and friends;
- learned beauty through the creativity of great artists;
- watched and discussed short motivational films;
- got acquainted with the history and culture of our country through a quiz.
Each project participant received sweet gifts and prizes, and humanitarian aid was also delivered to each school, thanks to our partners.
One of the schools in Mariupol was evacuated due to the threat of mining. We carried out all the activities with the children outside. This is the reality in Donbass.
Young volunteers of the “Good in Donbass” project received valuable prizes and points for your work on the Dobro.ru platform and, of course, received psychological support from senior volunteer mentors.
Results of our trip: we delivered 2,000 kg of humanitarian aid, visited 7 schools, 1800 children participated in our events, at least 1000 master classes were held, 25 volunteer mentors worked with children and teenagers, 130 young volunteers from Donbass took an active part in all events.
“Donbass is my family!”

Music group 'Zveroboi' played their songs for the kids

22 teenagers from Mariupol, active volunteers of the “Dobro in Donbass” project visited Moscow for the New Year holidays.
The trip program was very eventful. The children visited the “Temporary Accommodation Point for Refugees”, where teenagers held classes for refugees and supported them in word and deed.
In Moscow, we held classes for children from 5 to 12 years old at My Family Center “Soglasie”, and also spent several days communicating with teenagers of this center. “By helping others, we helped ourselves,” thus realizing the skills acquired in the project.
A visit to the “Memory Road” Museum complex in Patriot Park and the “My Russia” exhibition-forum at VDNKh allowed us to learn many new and interesting facts about our country, its history, historical events, famous personalities.
Photo sessions on Red Square and in City produced a lot of positive emotions.
At the end the Zveroboy music group gave a concert and discussed with teenagers topics that are important to all of us.
The young volunteers of the project not only received positive emotions, gifts, got acquainted with the sights of the capital, but also confirmed their calling - to be those who will not stand aside, who will always respond to help!
