Halloween Traditions in war-time Ukraine

The holiday celebrated at “The end of the harvest,” is celebrated in Ukraine with gratitude.

Even in difficult wartime, children remain children and try to decorate their lives. At the creative center of This Child Here in Izmail, students prepare Halloween baskets for one of the "sweetest" traditions with their own hands. With them, they will collect sweets with the words "Trick or Treat?”

They also hope the “evil spirit” in the form of the Russian army will leave their country.

Indeed, dreams can also come true on this day, and we believe good must always win. Even on this day, it is customary to help those for whom life is more difficult. Your donation will help little Ukrainians in this time of war.
