We work with families displaced by the war. Thousands of people have fled cities in the east and arrived in Izmail, Ukraine in the west. As many fathers are in the military or still residing in places now dangerous, these families often consist of mothers and children. We provide products from grocery stores, and centres for youth and children's activities, including sports, music, art, and programs led by psychologists. Through these activities, summer camps, and the supportive community we have built, we offer therapy for the trauma and shock suffered by these families. This Child Here, Inc. is a Validated Ministry in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Days of power disruption
Third camp, Varna, Bulgaria
Our first camp of the summer began on July 4th with the US national anthem. Together, we sang, painted, created shell decorations, and wove bracelets.
We sat against a wall, shielded from the window. Two drones hit about 100 yards away. Listen for the whine of the engine and propeller, the sound of machine guns trying to shoot them down, and the explosions. CLICK THE IMAGE FOR A 2 MINUTE INTRODUCTION TO THIS CHILD HERE.
Summer camp, in Varna Bulgaria, 2023 included more than 100 people, 3 volunteers from the USA and 2 camps. Such a simple recipe for happiness and a safe environment for families displaced by war.
