The main goal of the "Open Your Heart" project is to eliminate the effects of trauma and adapt preschool and school-age children to life in current times through psychological and arts activities.

This requires working on the following aspects:
- removing aggression;
- fighting fears;
- the opportunity to release creative and physical energy.

It is necessary to apply new practices dictated by the times. We developed this approach - performance therapy - together with child psychologists and representatives of the theatre community during the Kharkiv Puppet Theatre's "tour" in the subway.

There are more and more cases when Russia attacks with FPV drones, not only on military positions and vehicles, but also on civilian cars in front-line regions. There are more and more acquaintances who did not wake up one morning because missiles or drones flew at them.

**FPV stands for "first-person view" meaning you can see what the drone sees in real time through an integrated video camera. 

To counter drones, at the request of the ZRAD/13AB unit of the anti-aircraft artillery battery, we are starting an urgent collection for a portable radar warfare kit.

My very close friend, artist  and musician Volodymyr, we collaborated in volunteering from the first days of the full-scale invasion. Together we evacuated hundreds of people and animals from Northern Saltivka, Danilivka and other very dangerous areas of Kharkiv, delivered medicine and food to warehouses in the most difficult times of our city. Now Volodymyr is in the Armed Forces and his unit-503 Marine battalion have been transferred to the Donetsk direction, where new positions need to be set up. I explained exactly what is necessary in the video below. Everything is very very necessary now!

The artillery unit which I have helped before asked if we could purchase four head protection sets (helmet, cover and active headphones). Unfortunately, now, during combat missions, the boys have to cover their ears with their hands. 

Our goal - to buy a used pickup truck ( it is very hard to find because they are greatly needed now in Ukraine) to transfer as many injured defenders as possible quickly to safety and to get medical help.We have a request for this from the unit where my sister's classmate is fighting.

There are villages and towns that were occupied and almost completely destroyed. People are trying to survive there without electricity, water, mobile communication. Volunteers provide food, medicine and evacuation of locals. 

The ongoing war in Ukraine has taken a severe toll on the country, its people, and its infrastructure. The conflict, which started in 2014, has resulted in thousands of casualties and displaced millions of people. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, the city of Kharkiv and the surrounding areas were especially hard hit.
