Art therapy equipment for rehabilitation tourist camp in Mykolaiv region

In summer 2022, the team of NGO "Tourist Ukrainian Family" launched a camp in Myhiia village, Mykolaiv region.

The organizers' mission is to bring back joyful emotions to those who survived the hell of war. First of all - these are IDP families and Defenders. Children and parents can restore their resources here.

We understand how important it is today to rest and recharge. This especially applies to people who were greatly affected by war. We gathered a team, new volunteers come every week. Someone as an instructor, someone to cook, art therapists, animators - these are people who work with soul. We ride rafts, kayaks, climb rocks. Art therapists work with guests. And we see how children who come to us closed, because they survived the horrors of war - smile here. They come alive".

In 2022 we received 474 displaced persons in the camp. This year we plan to receive even more guests. We have assembled a powerful team of instructors and volunteers of 84 people.

That's why together with "My City" we raised funds for a rope park and want to further purchase a muffle furnace, clay and other equipment for art therapy.

Clay modeling develops motor skills, promotes imagination development and has a calming effect. In the camp we use clay modeling as one of the art therapy directions, as this method of self-expression is most accessible to children of all age categories. Besides, it's very pleasant to take a clay product home. After creating the product it needs to be baked, that's what the furnace is needed for.
