Hillel Kiev Asks, What is Happiness?

April 8, 2012 By eJP

At the Lubistok orphanage in Novy Petrivtsy, Ukraine, Good Deeds Week volunteers tried to find an answer for this ordinary, but very complicated, question.

Together with volunteers from Hillel Kiev and other Kiev universities, a gallery of paintings was created by young orphans to be sold at a charitable auction, arranged by Hillel in Ukraine and its partners: Aerosvit, Libero, Evening News, ArtHouse, Art-boutique “Alizarin”, Ukrainian TV and media, city administrations and donors from eight cities that took part in the action – Dnepro, Donetsk, Kharkov, Kiev, Lvov, Odessa, Sevastopol and Simferopol.

All together over 10,000 people were touched by the activities, initiated and facilitated by Hillel Ukraine, and among them several dozen destitute children who reclaimed their trust in humankind, justice and can again believe in miracles.
