An unprecedented burst of care for kids connected to the upcoming elections we can observe in Zhytomyr oblast. On 25 July children from two villages in Berdychiv rayon could visit rides in the local park named after T.H. Shevchenko for free, thanks to the charitable fund of an entrepreneur from Berdychiv, Oleksandr Reveha. Some time ago kids from Popilnia, Radomyshl and Andrushiv rayons (ED #63) also had such opportunity.
However, the MP Vitalii Zhuravskyi had won all his competitors in the level of care for children. According to his charitable fund, V. Zhuravskyi has already built thirty new playgrounds - in Korostyshiv, Brusyliv, Volodarsk-Volynsk, and Cherniahiv rayons (district #66). On 25 July another new playground in Malyn was opened - on the territory of Preobrazhensky church. The benefactor hopes children will get used to visiting church in such a way.
According to the coordinator of OPORA, Vitalii Zhuravskyi also promised to build a parish school in Malyn.
