Darija Zarivna, the operational director of Bring Kids Back UA, met with children who were returned from occupied territories, along with singer Jerry Heil.
These meetings are a crucial part of the children's reintegration and psychological recovery process.
The children shared their experiences, spoke about their dreams and adaptation after returning home.
«Each of you is incredibly strong. You have gone through more than you should have at your age. Being here is not just a joyful event; it's already a personal victory and the beginning of a new path. Remember that Ukraine supports you – if you have dreams, we want to help you realize them. We are bringing Ukrainian children home and helping them feel that they are not alone, that they are awaited and supported», – stated Darija Zarivna.
Jerry Heil, as an ambassador for Bring Kids Back UA, actively participates in initiatives aimed at supporting children who have experienced deportation or life in occupied territories.
The initiative Bring Kids Back UA, launched by the President of Ukraine, works systematically not only on the return of unlawfully deported children but also on their reintegration. Providing psychological support and creating a safe environment are essential parts of this work.
