TNMU Students Created Festive Christmas Mood for the Wards of  L’Arche-Ternopil NGO

Every year on the eve of St. Nicholas day, adults and children believe in a miracle. On this day, everyone receives a desired gift. This year, TNMU students visited the members of the “L’Arche-Ternopil” community in order to give them positive emotions, a sense of the holiday and together create decorations for the Christmas tree.

The “L’Arche-Ternopil” community unites people with mental disabilities who come to work in the “Vertep” workshop, which operates at the Church of the Mother of God of Perpetual Help. Friends, as the members of the community are called, find such important communication for themselves here and learn to make various handmade products with the help of assistants.

Students of groups MM-117 (Faculty of Medicine), SS-105 and SS-106 (Faculty of Dentistry) together with their tutors organized a pre-holiday workshop on making Christmas tree toys.
