This is the main slogan of the first stage of the international campaign "Scouts for Ukraine." Last week, the Scouts of the National Organization of the Scouts of Ukraine were delivering presents for the new school year to internally displaced children. The beginning of the new school year is very important for every family as there are new challenges, lessons, friends and knowledge ahead. For each pupil, it is also a chance to meet old friends after the summer holidays, and for some - new classmates. Internally displaced children from the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea need particular attention today. For them, the beginning of the new school year does not only mean a new school, but a new home and new friends, and the uncertainty of how their peers will welcome them. Understanding the complexity of the situation faced by displaced families and children and the importance of assistance for this category of people, Scouts of Brazil and Ukraine have joined forces to support them. Thus, in the spring 2015 a big international project "Scouts for Ukraine" was launched. It consists of 4 major phases: - "Starting the School with a Smile", the main goal of which is to purchase basic school stationery for internally displaced children for the new school year; - "With good at heart", which will take place during the New Year and Christmas holidays; - "The summer of vivid impressions", when the internally displaced children can attend scout camps in the summer 2016; - A prize trip to Brazil in 2016 for the two most active participants of the campaign and one adult NOSU leader. The main feature of the project is that its every stage is not a one-time action. "Today, it is essential not only to provide a lump sum for the displaced children, but also to ensure their socialization. Thus, experienced NOSU leaders will begin scout education in the schools which are part of the project. We hope that through scouting activities throughout the year, children and young people will be able to adapt quicker to their new environment and an unfamiliar city", - said the head of the NOSU National Board Andriy Chesnokov. 380 internally displaced children have become participants of the first stage of the project "Scouts for Ukraine." Last week, packages with gifts to the beginning of the new school year found their owners in Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Energodar (Zaporizhia oblast) and Zhukin (Kyiv oblast). But that is only the start, the real work lies ahead. In schools where the internally displaced children are studying, NOSU leaders will start lessons on Scouting, so that these children can find new friends and acquire new skills.
