During a working trip to the Khmelnytskyi region, representatives of the departments and offices of the social and humanitarian block of the Donetsk Regional State Administration visited the sanatorium and rehabilitation center for social rehabilitation "Emerald City," which has been operating in the village of Orynyn after forced relocation.
For the third consecutive year, the center accepts up to 160 children each shift who require additional social attention and support. Among them are orphans, children deprived of parental care, children of combatants, internally displaced persons, as well as children living in areas close to combat operations. In total, during this time, 3,572 children from Donetsk have undergone rehabilitation and recovery at the center.
During the visit, members of the working group thoroughly inspected the infrastructure of the facility: dormitory buildings, the school building, the medical block, and the dining area. They also discussed with the center's management the current issues of the facility's operation and opportunities for further development and improvement of the conditions for the children's stay.
Heads of departments and offices of the social and humanitarian block of the regional state administration participated in the solemn closing of the small Olympic games, visited an exhibition of children's creative works, and got acquainted with the educational and upbringing program aimed at fostering children's cohesion, developing communication skills, national-patriotic and sports education, and instilling respect for cultural heritage.
Today, "Emerald City" fulfills an important mission — it provides children with a safe environment where they can recover, restore their emotional state, learn new things, communicate, and develop. In these challenging times of war, such spaces become places of care, stability, and support for the youngest citizens.
