In the village of Tsuman in the Kivertsiv district, the charitable fund "Special Child" has been established. This was reported by one of its initiators-founders – Protoiereus Taras Maneliuk, the Tsuman dean. The organization united all those who care about the problems of local disabled children.
Immediately after the corresponding registration, the fund launched active work. According to Father Taras, during June-July of this year alone, with funds raised by the fund, young disabled children made five pilgrimage trips to the Pochaiv shrines, visited the Rivne zoo on an excursion, and in the near future they will have the opportunity to rest for several days at the famous Lake Svityaz.
An interesting feature of the fund is that its activities are financially supported not only by individual physical or legal entities, but also by religious communities of almost all Christian confessions operating in the Tsuman region. Among them are parishes of the Kyiv and Moscow Patriarchates and communities of several Protestant Churches.
In the Tsuman deanery of the Kyiv Patriarchate, they do not work only in the field of charity. The dean said that his subordinate priests also conduct active civic-patriotic activities. In particular, recently in Tsuman the clergy concelebrated the rite of consecration of a monument built at the site of the shooting by German fascists during the Second World War of about 200 Ukrainian and Jewish families.
