Children can now study in one more school: a shelter has been opened

    After a long period of online learning, it became possible for students to return to school classes in an educational institution in our community, where students were unable to attend school. This happened thanks to the opening of a modern shelter that meets all safety requirements.

    A semi-submerged modular shelter designed for 120 people was built in a general secondary education institution, where 216 children study. This made it possible to introduce a blended learning format – and, most importantly, to take the first step towards a full-fledged educational process.

    The expected return of schoolchildren to school desks became possible thanks to the effective cooperation of the Trostyanets City Council, PrJSC “Mondelez Ukraine” and the Charitable Foundation “Blagomay”. The total cost of the construction is about 7 million hryvnias.

    The shelter is equipped with all the requirements: it has high-quality lighting, a ventilation system, air conditioners, bathrooms, is connected to centralized water supply and drainage, and meets fire and sanitary and hygienic standards. By the beginning of the school year, the premises will also be connected to the centralized heating system. This is not just a protective structure, but a full-fledged environment where children can be safe during a threat.

    The opening of the shelter was attended by Mayor Yuriy Bova, representatives of the donor company, heads of educational institutions, teachers, parents and students.

    Mayor Yuriy Bova addressed those present with a welcoming speech:

    “Today we are taking an important step in ensuring the future of our children. For four years, students of this school have been cut off from school life. Thanks to the support of our partners, children will be able to return to full-fledged education — and this is extremely valuable”.

    This is not the first time that Mondelez Ukraine PJSC has helped our hromada. The director of the Trostyanets factory, Yevhen Ignatov, emphasized:

    “We have been supporting Trostyanets for several years. We help hospitals, schools, and help set up shelters. And we don’t plan to stop — we want to see more safe schools in the community”.

    Online education, despite its advantages, cannot replace live communication between students and teachers. Face-to-face learning is not only about knowledge, it is about socialization, emotional development, and the formation of a child’s personality. In wartime, returning to the school environment is also a symbol of resilience, faith in the future, and a normal life.

    This was especially emphasized by the head of the branch, Svitlana Moskaleva:

    “Our children will finally be able to return to their native school, and the school walls will once again be filled with cheerful children’s laughter. Teachers will be able to see the eyes of their students, hear them, and support them live. This is very important for all of us”.
