Building Bridges: A Family Trust Evening Forum
The city of Bolgrad hosted an evening forum titled «Building Bridges: A Family Trust Evening», organized by the Charity Foundation «Gift». The event attracted 115 participants from various areas of Odesa region.
Keynote speaker Adrian Bukovynsky, an expert in family policy from Kyiv, discussed the importance of supporting family relationships. Attendees had the opportunity to anonymously ask questions regarding personal and family issues.
"Family requires daily effort in relationships. Without love, it becomes harder to do this work. Love is the driving force in relationships at all stages of family life," emphasized Adrian Bukovynsky during his lecture.
The forum took place in a casual and open atmosphere at the «Boomerang» restaurant, where participants could not only interact with the expert but also enjoy a cultural program. The musical accompaniment was provided by the band «Another Life» from the village of Loshchynivka.
The organizers highlighted that such events enhance dialogue among family members and the community, increasing trust and understanding in society.
"One of the main areas of our charitable work is supporting families during wartime - emotionally, psychologically, and physically, including humanitarian and food aid. We believe that today's event will help families strengthen their relationships. Everyone received answers to their questions or left with thoughts to ponder," said Svitlana Berbat, the director of the «Gift» Charity Foundation.
