Initially, only a few participants agreed to take part in the workshop, but in the process, curiosity won out, and other women joined in. And for good reason – the angels turned out to be very different, but cute. Someone made a toy for a granddaughter, someone made it as a amulet for a daughter, who is serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. While working, the women were talking, recalling their hobbies, and sharing their impressions.  

The workshop turned out to be very warm for both the participants and for the craftswoman from Kharkiv, Tetyana Oglobina, who has been living in Kamianets-Podilskyi for two years. Such sincere emotions and mutual support are the most valuable resource today. 

The workshop was followed by tea and music therapy. Such events provide an opportunity not only to communicate and have fun, but also to learn something new, which is very useful at any age. For older people, it is a special pleasure to go beyond the usual, to feel like learners, to create new neural connections in the brain. 

This event was made possible within the framework of the program “Uniting for Action”, implemented by IREX with the support of the U.S. Department of State.
