A CELEBRATION OF DREAMS AND DISCOVERIES FOR CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS

For World Children’s Day, celebrated on November 20, we teamed up with our partners at EasyPay to create a special event for the students of the Maria Pokrova Special School in Lviv — children with hearing impairments. Eighty children enjoyed an exciting trip to the Science Museum, where they could explore the world of knowledge. And of course, we treated them to some sweet snacks — because what’s a celebration without a little joy?

At the museum, the children immersed themselves in a fascinating world of experiments: they explored the chemistry of soap bubbles, learned about modern technologies, tried VR, watched how sound affects magnets, and discovered many other wonders. These were moments of genuine excitement, when science became more accessible and the world grew a little brighter.

But that’s not all. Thanks to caring people and a shared desire to make the world better, we raised funds on the dobro.ua platform and were able to give the school important educational and correctional materials worth 70,000 UAH. These included: Froebel sets, musical instruments, diatonic bells, Doman cards, and other essential development tools.
These resources will help children every day — improving speech, attention, coordination, and memory, reducing emotional tension, and giving them space for creativity and play.

A Place Where Children Learn to Hear the World in Their Own Way

Every child has dreams. Has talent. Has something they want to say to the world. But some children aren’t heard — and they themselves cannot hear the world.

The Maria Pokrova Special School in Lviv is a place where children understand they are not alone. Here, they learn to communicate, to dream, and to believe in themselves. Founded in 1828, the school is the heart of Ukrainian deaf education and the oldest institution in the country for children with hearing impairments.

Today, the school also teaches children from large and low-income families, orphans, displaced families, and those who have lost parental care. They need more than education — they need a chance at a full, meaningful life.

The celebration we organized is more than just a trip or gifts. It’s about making sure every child feels that
they are heard, they are seen, they are believed in, and they are supported.
