Arthur, 6 y.o. ...the terrible explosions and sirens forced them to leave
Arthur's mother wrote to us: "Arthur is a boy from a large family. When the war began, the fourth child was born in the family. Mom left the maternity ward with the newborn boy, and two weeks later the war started.
The family lived in Kyiv, two older sisters of Arthur went to school, the elder sister studied in the 4th grade, the younger one in the 1st. Arthur loved his Kyiv kindergarten very much, he had many friends.
In February, it was very noisy in Kyiv, the family didn't leave the house for 5 days, but the terrible explosions and sirens forced them to leave.
Then there was the Kyiv train station, sirens, and explosions on the TV tower, which we saw with our own eyes. We were passing by at that time. We were traveling with a newborn baby, for whom we didn't even have a birth certificate because we didn't have time to get it. We didn't make it onto the train to Warsaw, so we decided to drive to Germany by car. Five long days on the road to nowhere. Volunteers, ordinary people, and passersby helped us. Four countries behind us and a long exhausting journey with four children.
Arthur wants to learn the Ukrainian language and culture and is looking for his benefactor.
Arthur and his mother are looking for a benefactor to fully cover the annual tuition fee of $1,364 at the school.
Alisa, 6 years old ...wants to return to her mother
Alisa’s grandmother wrote: Alisa was born in occupied Crimea. When she was just 1 year old, her family experienced several dramatic situations. Her mother managed to escape with the child to Kyiv, to Alisa's grandmother. However, a few years later, Alisa could not go to kindergarten in the morning because the enemy had treacherously attacked Ukraine. These were times filled with air raid sirens, the loud sounds of explosions around their home, and running to the basement for shelter. Later, Alisa and her mother managed to board an evacuation train. This is how they found themselves in evacuation, facing complete uncertainty. The friendly country of Japan welcomed the family, but when Alisa's grandmother joined them, her mother delivered humanitarian aid back to Ukraine and then joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Alisa desperately wants to return home to Kyiv, to her mother, but as long as the dangers of missile strikes persist, she is trying to learn the Ukrainian language. After all, in Japan, she started first grade, but how will she continue learning her native language? Thanks to the incredible teachers at the "Tsvit" school, Alisa has finally started to speak Ukrainian fluently and has read her first book. We are sincerely grateful to "Tsvit" school for their care and kindness.
Alisa is looking for a benefactor to partially cover the tuition fee of $ 350 at the school.
