Picnic with the Homeless – 2017

On May 20, there was the fourth meeting together at the forest glade in Kyiv to talk, eat delicious food, play, sing, dance, and have fun. We started the meeting with a small meal, then we prayed together and meditated over the issue whether God is the only one for all, or whether He loves all in the same manner, how we treat Him … After having a lunch, we switched to the communication game communication “Angeim”. The groups were so enthusiastic about playing that time went quick and we still wanted to play again. Our friends like dancing and singing too, and girls had prepared catching songs J. One lady had read a wonderful poem about her mother, there were also volunteers to sing and they were very good at it.

Green trees and the grass, sunshine, smiles, and the openness of picnic participants – what else one needs to be happy… At the end of the picnic everyone got a small sweet gift. Though the clouds were scary, but the rain waited until we had finished the picnic, and then it followed us with a joy.

Thanks for the delicious food that was prepared and presented by the workers of the cafe …

Organizers: Marian Sisters of the Miraculous Medal, Fathers Missionaries of the Congregation of Mission of St. Vincent de Paul, volunteers of the Volunteer Schools, employees of Depaul Ukraine in Kyiv and friends of the Vincentian Family.
