– Half of my life has been devoted to charity, – admits Petro Stepanovych. – For almost ten years I have been managing the regional charitable Foundation of Veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the public organization "Zaporozhian Cossacks." Their main task is to help the elderly, people with disabilities, orphaned children, and young talents. My colleagues and like-minded people join in the charitable work. In total, we have managed to collect and direct more than 2 million hryvnias to the needs of people who require material support.
Petro Oleshko cares for sixth-grade students of the Lutsk boarding school, the residents of the children's orphanage in Kivertsy, and three children whose mother died in a road accident and whose father disowned them.
On the eve of the Eighth of March, thanks specifically to the deputy's funds, a celebration was organized for women – veterans of internal affairs bodies in Lutsk, as well as for female pensioners and solitary residents of the villages of Zviriv and Horokhiv.
