A Special Visit Brings Light and Smiles
On November 28, the halls of the “Chervona Kalyna Kharkiv” Foundation were filled with laughter and joy as a dear friend and sponsor from Germany, Jens Leisenberg, arrived with gifts and heartfelt support. Jens, a long-standing supporter of the foundation, brought toys and sweets for the children of the Dvurechansky community, many of whom have endured the hardships of displacement due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
A Celebration of Connection and Gratitude
The day wasn’t just about receiving—it was about giving back in the most heartwarming way. The children, excited to meet their generous benefactor, presented Jens with handmade heart-shaped crafts in national Ukrainian colors. These tokens of gratitude, created with love, symbolized the bond between the foundation, its sponsors, and the children it supports.
The foundation organized a festive celebration, complete with a table of delicious treats. The children’s faces lit up as they enjoyed sweet and savory delights in an atmosphere filled with warmth and community spirit.
The Magic of Dove Therapy
Adding an enchanting twist to the day, a surprise visitor transformed the gathering into something truly unforgettable—a dove keeper brought a flock of colorful, tame doves. The children, along with their parents, were mesmerized by the gentle creatures. They fed and petted the birds, capturing tender moments of connection in photos.
The “dove therapy” became a symbol of peace, hope, and serenity, touching the hearts of everyone in attendance. For many of these children, the experience brought a rare moment of pure joy and a chance to momentarily forget their struggles.
Thank You, Jens!
The foundation expressed heartfelt gratitude to Jens Leisenberg for his unwavering support and commitment to their mission. His visit underscored the power of kindness and collaboration in making a tangible difference in the lives of displaced children.

A Day to Remember
For the children of the Dvurechansky community, this day was more than just an event—it was a reminder that brighter days lie ahead. The warmth of human connection, the magic of doves, and the generosity of strangers came together to create memories that will last a lifetime.
