“This was my first time at camp; everything was rather strange and new, especially because I live in an institution. At first, I was shocked seeing how much the camp leaders loved each other. I thought it was just a show for the first day, but I was wrong! Their love and sincerity continued throughout the camp! At camp, I learned to love people, not fight, and be nice. I made new friends and discovered God’s love for me. What disappointed me is that the camp only lasted 10 days. I just got used to it, and then had to return home where nobody loves me! The most important thing is that I now know who loves me forever!”
“My friend gave me the number for Hi Kidz telephone stories, and I started listening to them every day. I really like them. Later, I wrote a letter and received Bible lessons. I really enjoy these lessons. I have finished the first course and know who God is.”
“My father left us. At camp, I finally felt loved and understood. I learned to talk to God in prayer.”
“For me, the camp was like a ray of happiness. I made many new friends and enjoyed all the activities. I am looking forward to learning more about God.”
The origin of Ukraine and its people goes back to the late 600s when a Nordic tribe known as the Rus arrived in the region, establishing trading settlements along this "Amber Route." From the mid-13th century, the area was dominated by Mongols, followed by Lithuania, Poland and Cossacks.
In 1922 Ukraine became one of the founding republics of the Soviet Union, its fertile soil and subsidized farming generating substantial quantities of meat, milk, grain, and vegetables to other regions of the USSR. Since the collapse of communism in 1991, Ukraine has been an independent country in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
Until 2008, Hi Kidz’ work in Ukraine came under the supervision of our office in Moscow. Hi Kidz Ukraine now has its own legal structure.
