The volunteer project of the Jewish community of Dnipro “Tov ve Hesed”, led by Hana Neskhes, brought the joy of Purim to children in need of special care, as they are without parental care and live in special institutions created within the framework of the “Good Home” project.
Hana Neskhes and her volunteers visited two such institutions, which have the status of “small group homes”, to congratulate the children on the holiday of Purim, treat them with sweets and delicacies, and also arrange a fun and interesting performance for them based on Purim motifs.
The main surprise for the children was the performance of the “Neon Show”, which the “Tov ve Hesed” project presented to the children in honor of the holiday of Purim, and which they really liked and caused a lot of positive emotions.
“We told the children about Esther, about the holiday, about what happened many years ago, and explained why it is still relevant today,” says project manager Hana Neskhes. “With this example, we tried to make the children understand that no matter how difficult it is, no matter what the clouds and threats, there is always hope if you not only believe in the Almighty, but also trust Him, and then you understand what steps need to be taken and that these steps are not always the ones that instincts and habits tell us. For example, Esther did not hide from threats, did not adorn herself, she declared a fast and went to meet possible death, and these counterintuitive actions brought salvation to her and the entire people.”
