CHILDHOOD IS FROM THE MIRACLE OF GOD'S LOVE.

Have you been ever in Boryslav? No yet? Boje-e-e! It is strange. Please, ask a children, who comes to Pre-Carpathians to study here from 5 regions of West Ukraine. It is necessary just in such a kiddy-manner each of as could discover one more miracle of God mystery.

Meeting

Town of large five villages, seven mountains and four rivers will meet you with such a strange slow bird-song of Carpathians. The modern markets and buildings have met here a hilly forests, hidden paths in the garments of blackberry bushes in arms with the marvelous (except of sometimes full of the plastic garbage) lakes, healing sources of "Naftusia" and mount-streams as well. Meeting of the talented young hearts - the most amazing discovery of Boryslav. Therefore, these kids pronounce it so flamefully: BorysLOVE. Because the riddle is that from the very beginning this word Boryslav has born from the humble gratitude of an ancient monastery in meaning "Let fight for Love, for Glory".

If you have not brought with you any surprises, or they disappeared somewhere during your journey, do not mention - all the things will come in your path between the Tustanovychi and Mraznytsya, where our school has been located. And on the contrary, if you have prepared a full packages from your families and communities, just be sure: the true gift is - our Lord's Meeting to know each other.

Gift

Volunteers from Truskavets and Drohobycz just "climbed up" to the high place of our school: group of  our pupils Myshko, Valentyn and Ira from the primary classes and Romko, Mykola and Ioann from 5-6 classes on the wheelchair like a swallows fly toward.

- We have visited L'viv!..

- We just have returned from the musical school!

- We have had a guests from the Norway!

- Would we play a game "Field of the miracles" together now?! With the gifts from US families of "New life" center!

Then children are swarm round the group of volunteers and lead them into a school, introducing the unique world of their creativity. Like a small swans, moving their weak lags Vasylko, Dmytro, Mykhaylo.

- Yesterday, - says Mykhail from Carpathian lake Synevyr - the guests from Norway have visited us. Oranges and bananas were pile up everywhere as a rain-flood!

- Yes, yes, - but nurses with Myshko, Ivanka and Ala saved a bed rooms from the yellow-orange "decorations".

- So these most successful pupils will start our game now?

- And I'm also, I'm as well, please! I have washed a floor in our class-room.

- But we have helped to sort a packages from the "New life" center as well...

DISCOVERY

Valentine is eight year old. He is seventh one in its Gipsy family. Parents are dead because of alcohol. Hyperactive with weak attention, he could not focus on something: every minute he asks and do not hear a full replay, asks again. You could give him a little car, but do never mind if this evening you will find this car without the wheels - the genuine fountain of joy and sincere exciting gratitude will shine over the children and teachers as well. And the most important - some of your advices or sober wishes will be accepted.

Slava, Galya and Tania from Trans-Carpathians are on the 6-th year of study. Your notebooks and souvenirs will be arranged in perfect order on the window or mirror desk. But do not give them gifts and go away. No. Just speak with them, ask them about their village, about the Nativity-celebration's stories, say something about you and your visit and then your gifts will bloom out in their little sacramental worlds. Just help our Carpathian pupils Sergiy and Mykhail to find a famous melody with the piano or guitar, let your surprise will be a reward for the nice verses of Yura or brother-orphans Nazarko and Igor. And you will see how creative is the choice of the kids - to play with your little presents.

Ira is the youngest one in its family (forth one). It is even seems that she does not pay any attention to toys or games. But let you ask her to be on duty in the grant-giving procedure and she will shine like sun: she likes to give a grants (its own skirts, shoes, toys etc.) to pupils. Father and mother of four children are somewhere in jail, she has a wish to do a lightful things for everyone.

Our two girls with the same name - Oksana - they could not live without the presents. Let it be an invitation to the journey or ecological lessons (sweeping, washing or cooking) - they do like everything, what bring something new.

One year ago you have felt in our school completely another situation. Your kneels would be in tremble, and eyes full of tears. After the hard study week (especially in April or March) pupils fall down into the empty Saturday and Sunday without any events or visits. So called "school of closed type" could not breath under this doomed title. High-caloried and low-vitamine 5-time meals with no fasting skills during the Great Lent... Boredom and aggressive passiveness causes a drunk fight among the 2 pupils of last year study. At the same time the cough-virus with the symptom of the intestines poisoning occupies school...Completely another outcomes were in spring 2007. Every Sunday the volunteers are coming to pupils from Boryslav, Truskavets and Drohobych from the orthodox Christian communities, Christians of Evangelic faith and Greek-Catholic parishes as well. Recording of the kid's stage in radio-studio pupils also liked so much! Now the nurses do not lament:   

- Taras, do not misuse a reward-therapy! Let see, what these pupils of primary school have made under the beds! I ask them to take garbage away, but Ala replays: "But what I will receive for?" You will see a "snow-rains" of sweets before the Nativity. Be cautious, Yura will get a diarrhea!

Indeed, when you give a souvenirs or sweets, it is important to ask teachers and nurses which toys could be given directly to child and which is better to hide in the class-room. While you do not know where the tooth-paste has disappeared from the shelves (Yura eats it in the night like a deer eats a moss). At the same time do not mind, if Alina and Yulia will put away all the presents and will hang up on your arms, ask some stories about your life: the communication is the most important gift for the majority of our pupils!

Yura-Ruslan, Vasyl, Mykola... They prefer a friendly conspiracy, as the most active leaders of our school family. You will find them as a most talented promoters of the school feast, as a composers of interesting sudden riddles. They would like to go sleep and to wake up with a joy of the creative ideas of the new pupil's government' actions. While just in such an atmosphere every present could bring a new little discovery of the profound personality...

- Natalia, we could prepare a cakes ourselves!

- We have learned a new song!

- We have planted a tree!

For most of pupils (especially with such a diagnosis as tetrapares, displasia, oligofrenia are) it would not possible to do such a things without the joy of future gifts. Nonetheless, the true joy of the discovery of highest creative "We" comes to these kids with the synergia of grace of God: our blessed cooperation with your numerous communities, families, organizations. That is why our pupils are not more an invalids, no more orphans - they receive a firm energy of spiritual health, they discovery a new families to work with, they start to breath a full blossom of fight-Love Boryslav.
