“For the third year running, we arrange a rest in Kharkiv for the children from the JFO area. We have visited Feldman Ecopark as well. This time, we were offered assistance in the organization of excursion for the children from the boarding school of the town of Shchastia. The workers of Feldman Ecopark arranged a very interesting and informative excursion, during which children were able not only to look at and know a lot of new things about animals, but also to know better some of the Ecopark’s residents. Children liked it very much,” the head of NGO “The Sister of Mercy” Yaryna Chahovets told.
In addition to the animal collection tour, the visitors from Luhansk oblast attended the Horse Complex during the excursion and the petting zoo, where they learned to feed and take care of its four-legged and feathered friends.
