"It's cool here, you can take a break": summer shift continues at Blogger Camp by Rinat Akhmetov Foundation

Blogger Camp summer camp organised by Rinat Akhmetov Foundation continues in the Transcarpathian region. Boys and girls who suffered from the war are resting and improving their health in the camp. In particular, children who were returned after being illegally taken to Russia. The campers are accompanied by specialists who work with war trauma. 

"I really liked that there is a blogger camp here, because I'm a bit of a bad photographer. And it's great that there are psychologists here. They explain various problems and help me to return to normal in the face of this war," says 14-year-old Orest from Hostomel.

He adds that these techniques can be useful in many life situations.

"It's very cool here, because you can take a break, forget about everything and just relax mentally, live as usual," says 14-year-old Milaniia from Kharkiv.

The girl's father is now in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He was injured and rarely gets in touch. She dreams of the whole family being together again and living in a peaceful country.
