On 16 November 2014, the NATO Charity Bazaar was held at the Alliance's Headquarters. Ukraine was represented at the event with the national stand organized by the Mission of Ukraine to NATO with support of the International Fund «European development», Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Administration and the Ukrainian diaspora in Belgium.
The collecting of funds for the immediate needs of orphanages in Druzhkovka (Donetsk region) and city Tsyurupinsk (Kherson) with children with disabilities, including children relocated from the areas in eastern Ukraine, captured by the pro-russian terrorists, was the aim of participation in the NATO Charity Bazaar. The Mission of Ukraine to NATO expects to attract nearly 15 thousand euros for the needs of these children's institutions.
In the concert program of the event Ukraine was represented by the rock band under the artistic direction of head of "Society of Ukrainians in Belgium" Igor Hoholyak.
Mission of Ukraine to NATO sincerely grateful to the Ukrainian community in Belgium, the International Fund «European development», Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Administration and to all other friends and colleagues from Ukraine and NATO for their support in the preparation of Ukrainian stand and to ensuring its participation in the NATO Charity Bazaar. We look forward to further cooperation.
