Thanks to the active support and willingness to donate from the workforce, the BRK children’s home s.Oliver Mini Club and other kindergartens in the region, a colourful, child-friendly room was set up in which children between the ages of two and six can find a safe place to play together in the mornings.
The company hired a resident of the initial reception center to look after the children, who was then able to resume her job as an educator on site. She takes care of the children every day during the childcare hours and also provides a piece of home, since the children are able to give the children a bit of normality in their mother tongue and enable refugees from the Ukraine to have joy and moments of happiness is at least as important from a human point of view. I am therefore happy and grateful that the s.Oliver Group has succeeded in offering attractive childcare at our emergency shelter in
