On the occasion of Vyshyvanka Day, the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, presented a vyshyvanka with her autograph to the Olympic Dreams project in support of young athletes

To support athletes from Irpin and other cities that have suffered destruction, the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, donated a Ukrainian vyshyvanka with her autograph. The vyshyvanka will be auctioned to support the reconstruction of the Irpin Youth Sports School and the development of the Olympic Dreams project.

The Olympic Dreams project, verified by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine and the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine in Kyiv region, was created to support young athletes from regions that have been destroyed and bombed as a result of the full-scale invasion by Russia.

Olympic Dreams is a project of the Future for Children Charity Foundation, which has been supporting the country's Olympic reserve since March 2022, gradually increasing the number of children in the project. Today, young athletes from six sports have the opportunity to prepare for competitions safely on the seaside without distractions and the threat of rocket attacks.

In addition to achieving victories on the sports front, an important mission of the project is to promote Ukrainian values in countries where sports camps are held. During each official project opening, children introduce the host countries to Ukrainian traditions. For example, in Greece in 2022, they celebrated Independence Day; in Cyprus in January 2023, they celebrated Unity Day; and in May 2023, they celebrated Vyshyvanka Day by presenting a fashion show of traditional Ukrainian clothing from the Svoe brand to the First Lady of Cyprus, Philippa Karsera.
