The aid consisted of a fully equipped bus and an elevator.   
  At the beginning of the ceremony Maryna Poroshenko expressed her happiness regarding the implementation of this important project taken up due to Japan-Ukraine cooperation, as well as her expectations in relation to the given aid. She hopes that this Project will expand opportunities for the pupils and further social support will lead to significant success in their lives. Ambassador Sumi underlined the importance of social mechanisms in society that will ensure the socialization and integration of children with special needs allowing them to play, learn and engage all children. Furthermore, Maryna Poroshenko with Ambassador Sumi and his wife inspected the elevator and the bus granted by the Japanese Government.
  The Handover ceremony was scheduled to coincide with the Celebration of Children’s Day for all participants – children, parents and social workers – to enjoy a joyous event.
