The regional youth rehabilitation center "Dzherelo Zhyttia" was organized in 2002 thanks to the efforts of mothers who have sick children. For many years before that, they were confined within four walls with their misfortune. Disabled since childhood – children with special needs, but their main need is the same – to adapt to society, to be needed by it. And they also strive to communicate, to share not only their pressing problems but also their small victories.
The "Dzherelo Zhyttia" center took its first steps with the help of People's Deputy Volodymyr Bondar. For several years, Nashoukrainians have also been caring for the rehabilitation center. This year, the center once again received assistance for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and when Nashoukrainians spoke with L. Zelinska, the idea arose to arrange a New Year's evening for the wards of "Dzherelo Zhyttia." The young people had never had such a celebration, but had long dreamed of holding it together.
And so on December 25, the dream came true. The Lutsk cafe "Stara Prystan" hospitably opened its doors for them. Father Frost, the Snow Maiden, a concert program, and competitions adapted to the capabilities of the young people awaited the visitors – the children cared for by the "Dzherelo Zhyttia" center.
The head of the regional state administration, member of the Council of the "People's Union Our Ukraine" party Volodymyr Bondar, visited them as a guest. He wished those present health and always a cheerful mood and promised that the authorities and the party would constantly care for them, because children are our future.
