"We set a simple goal for ourselves: within the framework of the "Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Program", initiated by First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, to use all opportunities in Greece to help Ukrainian children overcome the stress of the war and the traumatic events they experienced. Over the summer period, in cooperation with Greek partners, Ukrainian and Greek charitable organizations, we have already succeeded in treating more than 500 Ukrainian children. And this work still continues", - the Ambassador of Ukraine in Greece, Shutenko Sergii.
The Olympic Dreams 2022 project involves more than 100 young Ukrainian athletes training on the base of the professional sports infrastructure SPORTCAMP and Sport Village (Loutraki, Greece) with coaches Karen Balayan and Oleksandra Starkova.
"It's already the second shift of our young athletes taking part in the Olympic Dreams 2022 project. Among them are members of the Ukrainian judo team (cadets, juniors and adults), all of them are our pride, champions and prize winners of European and international tournaments, and we are happy to support their professional level, in difficult times, for the future victories of Ukraine", - said Anatoliy Boyko, patron of "The Future for Children" Charitable Foundation.

For reference:
Before the war, Charitable Foundation "The Future for Children" took care of children who needed help for family reasons in a boarding school at the Nyzhnyobystrivska Gymnasium. Since 2021, the employees of the Foundation and the Gymnasium have helped over 500 children and adults. However, with the beginning of the war, a shelter for internally displaced people, who had lost their homes, was created on the territory of the Gymnasium. The team of the Charitable Foundation "The Future for Children" is a team of activists, who started and implemented the project of the public organization "IT Education Development", which supports young IT specialists and the development of the IT sector in Ukraine.
