Together with our colleagues – famous athletes – we visited children undergoing treatment at one of the medical rehabilitation centers in the region. The kids enjoyed an active workout and fun relay games led by Olympic silver medalist in rowing Dina Miftakhutdinova and volleyball master of sport Viktoriya Oreshyna. Boys and girls ran, jumped, carried, threw, and dribbled balls with the help of sticks, showing their agility, endurance, and desire to win. It turned into a true team competition! The event ended with medals, sweets, and gifts from WOMEN plus (Lilia Gyrenko) – and most importantly, lots of happy smiles. We support children together! 💛💙 Special thanks for t...
