“Goodwill Ambassador Hiddleston visited our educational center. For us, this visit became a sign that the stories of Ukrainian children and families who were forced to flee the war remain heard and important. During the visit, Tom spent several hours with the children – they danced, played games, and talked together. The actor also listened to the stories of mothers who talked about the difficult path to safety, the experience of loss, uncertainty and the strength with which they protected their children,” the statement noted. center.
Hiddleston said he was struck by the “extraordinary contrast between the light, the joy, the playfulness of the children he met and the stories of struggle and difficulty that the mothers and caregivers of these children told him about.”
The center noted that they appreciate the actor’s attention.
“In a reality where the world is gradually getting used to the news about the war in Ukraine, and less is being said about the difficulties of families who are still forced to leave their homes, it is important for us to remain visible. Tom’s visit helped to once again remind us of the main thing: children are our future, and they are the ones who need special care, protection and space for a decent and safe life,” the center noted.
