The story of the creation of the Ridnya Community Foundation in 2011, as told by Petro Makovsky, chairman of its supervisory board, is a clear illustration of the fruits of faith. The stories of the members of the IDP Assistance Fund, who believed God that with trust in each other they could do what seemed impossible until recently, were heartwarming. After all, the creation of local community action groups, as described by Sviatoslav Surma, may also seem like a romantic's dream. But such dreams have long been realized by Europeans, and the example of the small Boyko village of Mshanets clearly illustrates that it is possible to unleash the enormous potential of communities in Ukraine.
Therefore, the Volunteer Forum 2023, which took place in Mshanets, convinced us that only faith and trust will give us the strength to defeat the enemy and build the state we dream of.
