AEGEE-Kyiv presented "Pay it forward!"

Pay It Forward event , that was held in Kyiv from 26 June till 2nd July, was dedicated to volunteering and the great movie that has the same name.
Those who know it will definitely agree with me, those who don't - I strongly recommend to watch. The idea of the film is that if one helps you, you help three in return.
This way you make whole world a bit better, brighter and happier. That's what we tried to do during the event. With a big group of AEGEE people we visited orphan house, brought some presents like fruits, pencils and papers, shampoos and toothpastes to children. And of course we made some entertaining program for them including show of a popular Kyiv singer and some handicrafts workshops. Children enjoyed it a lot, actually we also did.
Accept the idea of volunteering of course we had excursions all around Kyiv, boat trip along the Dniper river, active day on the beach, some games in the entertainment center and, of course, parties every night in the best Kyiv clubs! Participants were great from all over Europe and more: Paris, Barcelona, Moscow, Saint-Petersburg and even from Australia.
Some participants wanted to stay in Kyiv so much, that they even missed there planes or were trying hard to be late on it. But we managed to send them home - happy and excited!
