Hello everyone! The Santa Claus project for 2023 will continue. Last year we (Eva, Klaus, Mirva and Miika) went to Nikopol to take the Christmas message. The children met our Santa Claus, received Letters to Santa packages wrapped by the group members from Ukraine and dreamed a lot about Finland and Lapland. The children’s main wishes for Christmas presents were, for their part, difficult to fulfil. The letters wished for a peaceful sky, the chance to see more of their friends and to go to school.
Children living in Nikopol, an area of constant, active fighting, now need a sense of security, faith and support for their dreams. A holiday from war.
This year 2024, the Nikopol district has decided to support these children’s journey to a safe environment for Christmas. About 80 of them will go to Italy, 50 to Austria and 88 will come to Finland. The children and young people who will go are those who have the capacity, emotional awareness and understanding to make this journey. They contacted us in the autumn and we are once again wholeheartedly involved. The children/young people (and 12 of their guardians) will arrive in Finland on 17.12. and will leave back to Ukraine on 27.12. You can participate by supporting the Truck Trip by putting gold coins in the collection account, by coming for Christmas shopping at the Vallila bazaar on 1.12., purchase items to collect from the Letters to Santa Claus from Ukraine group on Facebook, buy a supporting membership or ask more about the possibilities by emailing eva.kivinen@gmail.com
Welcome to join us in making another Christmas miracle❤️ Regards from Fin Aid ‘s Santa Claus and helpers.
