The trip to the traditional Ukrainian village had to be my favourite day of the camp. Learning about Ukrainian heritage was fascinating and what’s more, we got to fire bows and arrows as well as ride horses! Just as I thought the kids couldn't get any closer to my heart, they bought me a present - a wristband which I have worn ever since.
During my time in Kyiv and Dnipro, I have discovered that Ukraine values its traditions unlike any other country I have visited in the past. I have been fortunate enough to celebrate Trinity Day with a Ukrainian family and I have gained a real sense that this country has an incredibly strong cultural identity. It is important that this is passed on to the next generation.
