Joy in a Gift
Volunteers gave the children backpacks, a workshop, and sweets – creating a celebration of joy and warmth
A true celebration of childhood took place at the Hesed Cultural Center – as part of the “Prepare a Backpack for a Child” campaign, volunteers together with partners from the Odesa Volunteer Community/Hillel and the Jewish Volunteer League not only handed out useful school kits to the children, but also created an atmosphere of warmth, joy, and inspiration.
The madrich volunteers from Hillel held a workshop on painting a Hamsa – the children enthusiastically painted, experimented with colors, shared creative ideas, and genuinely rejoiced in their own masterpieces. Each brushstroke became a small story about friendship, imagination, and the joy of creativity.
The LEV volunteer team prepared school supplies and sweet gifts – so that each child could feel special. Smiles, heartfelt laughter, and the children’s shining eyes became the best reward for the volunteers.
We sincerely thank everyone who participated in this celebration – together we create small miracles, making the world kinder and brighter for the youngest members of our community.
