This was the theme of social integration and development of skills of teenagers during April 4-6, 2025 in the city of Ternopil. Thanks to the caring benefactors of the Orphans Future Foundation, boys and girls receive powerful support and investment in a better life.

Thanks to the trainer and career consultant - Yulia Shatsky, teenagers were able to delve into reflection and find their own.

Maria, from the Sapelyak confectionery studio, held a master class for boys and girls on decorating gingerbread cookies. The children really enjoyed the game of Anagrams. The teams almost equally finished the competition.

Our friends, Anya and Denys Melnychuk held a cool master class in their coffee shop "Culture". Here, with their own eyes, teenagers saw and heard about the profession of Barista, tasted a delicious cake and learned a lot about coffee, its history of origin, types of varieties, and methods of preparation. They even played a quiz and determined the winners during the quiz – they were the girls who took all the prizes.

Each time, the participants of the program “On the Threshold of Independence” improved their skills and abilities to make a menu, budget, make purchases for real money, navigate the terrain, and use public transport.

We thank the institutions of the Berezhansky Lyceum and the Ternopil Orphanage for close and important cooperation in preparing orphan teens for the realities of independent adult life in society.

Sincere gratitude to the benefactors: Olia Dmytryk, Ken Surridge, Serhiy Bohdanets, Iryna Sytnenko, Mykola Kosolapov, and unknown (ma), Mr. Serhiy and the restaurant “Churchil” for organizing delicious lunches.

Support the implementation of the program “On the Threshold of Independence”, which takes place twice a month and costs 4200 UAH. The rest we add from Hlywa funds on coaches fees or gas for a van.
