Traditionally, on the New Year and Christmas holidays, NGO "Rozvytok Hromady" turns into the real residence of St. Nicholas. Our activists, with the assistance of the same charity foundation and caring people, helped Nicholas Wonderworker  to congratulate on the feast with presents about a thousand children from all over Lviv region, including: children from low-income families, children with disabilities, orphans and children of perished Heroes of Ukraine. For this, in addition to a kind heart, it took more than a month of planning, preparation and as much hard, but enjoyable daily work. First, St. Nicholas’ helpers visited each child and helped to write letters with the desired presents and essential things, which we passed on to caring people. After that, each single day, we received dozens and hundreds of various gifts that the children desired in their letters. As a result, each office, each corridor was filled with children's toys, sweets, clothes and other valuable gifts. However the main task is not an unlimited number of expensive and bulky presents, but to give kids warmth, good mood for the whole year and the understanding that the holiday will definitely come to everyone who was polite and diligent! That is why, the gifts were handed to them personally by Nicholas Wonderworker)

The enjoyable gift-giving marathon began on Friday, 13 December. The first who got the gifts from St. Nicholas were 85 students of Rozdil boarding school for boys.

On Monday, 16 December, St. Nicholas went to the girls from Bukowsko boarding school. 92 pupils received the gifts they wrote in their letters.

The next day, on the 7 December, together with the Wonderworker, we visited the orphanage No. 1, located on Tadzhytska Street. We met the kids and gave them 40 gift sets of toys and sweets.

On the same day, the assistants together with Nicholas Wonderworker visited Educational and Rehabilitation Centre “St. Nicholas ", which is in Briukhovychi, to congratulate on the feast of St. Nicholas more than one hundred pupils of this institution with gifts and sweet treats.

And on 17 December, the Wonderworker visited the kindergarten No. 15 in Stryi town and the Boryslav boarding school.

On the eve of St. Nicholas, 18 December, we and Nicholas Wonderworker visited the Baby Home No. 1 (Maliutka/infant). We visited about 70 kids with precious gifts, toys and essential things.

And on this day the Wonderworker went to give gifts, warmth and festive mood to 30 children from large and low-income families.

On St. Nicholas' Day, more than thirty children received their gifts, which were written in their letters, whose parents heroically died for Ukraine and forty children whose parents participated in the Russo-Ukrainian war.

The next day, 20 December, we with Nicholas visited the students of “Oranta” boarding school in Drohobych. They met the children and gave them toys and sweet treats, which they wrote in their letters to the Wonderworker.

Traditionally, together with St. Nicholas of the Kavalier Boutique Hotel, we visited "Corners of Goodness" and handed out presents to the little patients at a children's hospital on Orlyka Street.

The last location of this year visited by St. Nicholas is - Lavrivskyi orphanage. On Thursday, 26 December, together with the Wonderworker, we presented gifts for fifteen pupils of this institution.

However, the holidays and miracles do not end on that, because the Wonderworker's assistants - NGOs "Rozvytok Hromady", our friends and partners will continue to worry about all who need help, support and advice. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all who have been involved in the gathering of gifts and the organization of children's holidays. Every year the indifferent becomes more and more. Thank friends that you are. All of us together managed to create a small miracle that came to the needy children of Lviv region and in their hearts will remain for a long time!
