While the situation for children is worrying, they still have <strong>their dreams, their plans and their hopes for the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite you to watch a few short videos from a lovely series entitled <strong>\u2018My Wish, My Dream\u2019<\/strong>. Four children share their very personal hopes for their future and that of their country, Ukraine. Eva, 9, Serhii, 12, Polina, 16, and Mariia, 17, talk about themselves and their plans for today and tomorrow, sketching out the contours of a <strong>happy future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They express wishes for tolerance, sharing and solidarity. Dreams of peace, reunions with loved ones, careers. Pleasures such as sewing, drawing cats and dragons, talking about astronomy and joining the journalism club. Plans for animated films, a clothing shop and farming. Desires to travel, return to their hometown and show visitors from elsewhere an even more beautiful Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Copyright : SOS Children&#8217;s Villages Ukraine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"3840\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2160 \/ 3840;\" width=\"2160\" autoplay controls muted src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ukraine_MyWishMyDream_260202_Eva-1.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"3840\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2160 \/ 3840;\" width=\"2160\" autoplay controls muted src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ukraine_MyWishMyDream_260202_Mariia-1.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"3840\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2160 \/ 3840;\" width=\"2160\" autoplay controls muted src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ukraine_MyWishMyDream_260202_Polina-1.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"3840\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2160 \/ 3840;\" width=\"2160\" autoplay controls muted src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ukraine_MyWishMyDream_260202_Serhii-1.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This February, the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year and continues to destroy the lives of children, young people and families.
