About the project

Project founder and organizer «My dear ones» – Anastasia Dolga, who is the director of the PSN Volna travel agency. 

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian invaders, many people have changed their worldview, values and priorities. I am no exception.

Since the beginning of the great war, my team and I stayed at home and tried to help the army. We did everything we could – weaving camouflage nets, cooking, looking for housing for the displaced.

At the first opportunity, we returned to our core business, tourism. During our work, we realized that many women whose husbands died in the war wanted to go on a rehabilitation vacation with their children, but did not have the money to do so. Every day, experiencing the tragedies of the families of the defenders who turned to us and sharing the pain of loss with them, we could not stand by and watch indifferently.

That’s how the idea to create the social project «My dear ones» came about, which aims to organize free rehabilitation vacations abroad for relatives of fallen soldiers.

For almost a year now, we have been sending women and children on vacation to Bulgaria and Egypt at the expense of sponsors and patrons. Two groups came back satisfied. The children were able to take their minds off the war and explosions, started to dream again and believe in the future. Given this, we conclude that all our efforts are not in vain, and our work is important. So let’s make children a little bit happier!
