An event dedicated to International Volunteer Day and organized within the annual nationwide campaign “16 Days Against Violence” was held for students of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Law and Innovative Education of DSUIA.
The guests of the institution were volunteers Olha Dudko, Anatolii Tolstikhin, Fedir Hnatko and Tetiana Hnatko, who are active members of the Free Wings Foundation. The charitable organization unites caring teams from Dobychi, Shakhtarske, Lozuvatka, Igren, Synelnykove, and Yavornytskyi. Bachelor’s and Master’s degree students of the specialties “Law” and “Law Enforcement Activities” joined the meeting with the volunteers.
The volunteers shared their personal experience of working in frontline and de-occupied territories, spoke about daily challenges and the power of unity that helps overcome difficulties. In addition to providing systematic support to the military and civilians, the foundation supplies medical aid to hospitals and clinics, cooperates with orphanages, educational and social institutions, and engages in rescuing and caring for animals. The effectiveness of their work is confirmed by numerous letters of gratitude and awards from Ukrainian Defenders.
The students actively participated in the discussion, asking about the practical aspects of volunteer work and the current needs the foundation is addressing. They sincerely thanked the guests for their tireless efforts, courage, and support of those who need it most.
The event was also attended by Liliia Mezhevska, Deputy Director of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Law and Innovative Education, who spoke about DSUIA’s active participation in volunteer projects and emphasized the importance of unity within the educational community in supporting the army and civilians.
