An excursion is held for children, while the UAF leaders present holiday gifts. Unfortunately, this year due to prolonged air alerts, the event had to be rescheduled for the next day, December 20.

This time, the guests of the Football House were children cared for by the NGO "Fly."
Natalia Kononska, a representative of this civic organization, said that the organization was established in 2014 and cares primarily for children with special needs. But after Russia's full-scale invasion, the fund is now also caring for children who have evacuated from temporarily occupied territories.

"Most of the children who visited the Football House today are involved in football. This helps them cope with the horrors they experience due to Russia's full-scale invasion. Thank you to the UAF leadership for the invitation and gifts," said Natalia Kononska.
