The museum in Petrykivka and the ethno-farm “Kozatska Sich” were visited by the mothers of the fallen defenders of our TAPS community. Such women are true inspirations. We received a request from them for a joint trip and last weekend we went to the Petrykivka community together.

The first stop was the Petrykivka Museum of Ethnography, Everyday Life and Folk and Applied Arts. Here, they organized an excursion for our mothers, told about the origin of Petrykivka painting, introduced them to the works of outstanding masters. The excursion ended with a master class, where each participant created their own unique drawing.

Next was the ethno-farm “Kozatska Sich” @etno_hutir, where we were greeted with bread and salt, introduced to Cossack traditions, treated to delicious porridge, taught how to shoot with a bow, rode horses and told about the life of real Cossacks. Joy and warm communication were the finale of our day, a mood that our mothers will cherish for a long time.

Events like this bring our families together and create a community where support and recovery begin with the time we spend together.
